| The throttle control on the motorcycle is a throttle by wire type of control and the idle position does not remain constant. one time the motor will idle at 1050 rpm's and the next time it will idle at 1400 rpm's. also while driving the motorcycle the idle point will increase and you can end up with the idle point at 1800 rpm's when it should be setting at 1050rpm's. harley davidson has not taken any action to address this high idle condition and it puts the driver and passenger in danger of a accident. *tr | |||
