my bike has had this issue for over a year.. but with new a motor I have find and repair the problem. example; I'll run at freeway speeds for a about 5mi exit come to a stop light and idle will be about 2k rpms.. but also at cruse when this is taking place the bike will run a little rough.. can someone please help eliminate this gremlin.. buell has failed twice but gladly took my money | ||

Hmmm....I always thought surging RPMs were a symptom of bad intake seals. Also a good ole' TPS reset might not be a bad idea either. | ||

well I have all new seals ..well heres the thing. when in this condition if I shut down and restart 80% of the time idle and running condition will be normal.. | ||

I'll second the intake leak situation. Sounds like classic symptoms, esp the shutting it down, starting up, and it's fine. Same w/rough running at steady throttle. In addition to the intake manifold seals, the seal between the throttle body and intake manifold is a possibility, as is the 0-ring between the fuel injectors and the manifold. I'd do the TPS reset first, just to eliminate that as a problem, and start from there. Good luck, and please let us know what you find. | ||

1. Open the air box and clean the throttle bore where the throttle plate is. You'll find a black, gummy buildup here that affects your idle. 2. Make sure your idle speed is set low enough (to specification). Even a tad too high an idle setting will cause your exact symptoms. You have to set your idle with the engine warm. 3. Check your intake seals by spraying WD-40 on them while the engine is running. If there's a change in idle then you have a leak. I don't think the TPS reset will help, and unless you have the software, you have to pay your dealer to do it. |
