    My bike wouldn't idle this morning, pull up at lights and she'd die. It's done this once before, first start in the mornng would have it's normal fast idle let her warm up for a couple minutes then set off, but wouldn't idle at a stop. Get to my destination leave it for a while and then it's fine and idling again. 2014 street bob 7000ks. Was told could be a bit of shit in the air idle valve... but twice now??

    Warranty? At least ask them, so if it is a bigger problem that gets worse you can prove it was a problem that should have been fixed under warranty. My 2 cents anyway.

    Did it again this morning then after I stop it and go again it seems fine, I told the dealer but he said unless its doing it at the time they cant diagnose it....

    Could be a dodgy IAC but then could be anything, TPS, MAF, etc etc, if you are having problems though the ECM should store the code which your mech should be able to read with their scan tool.

    Yeah +2 for the o2 sensor. My fear sensor wire had become loose, local mechanic found it and glued it back in. No dramas now. Can't timber the code but was for rear of sensor.
