copied this from the M8 Service Bulletin post

If a customer is concerned with the slow speed idle performance of a vehicle produced with the early calibration, the latest calibration can be installed at customer/dealer expense.

Any one see this?

I have adjusted mine up with The Power Vision Tuner

@6k miles, I am currently @ warmed up engine 925 RPM

if I take it in to the dealer for any warranty work I will try to find out what The MOCO is really doing and why

All service Bulletin's...Have a # Number can you tell us what the number is...

With out a Number its all internet...BS....
 
Nope no yet The MCO is keeping these pretty secret not like years ago But I am on it

I have a tech friend in MN He is pretty smart

Without a number ...My guy is gonna say....Internet BS...

And rightfully so. I posed the idle question to my guy at the thousand mile service...

His answer was Harley says no, EPA Certification mandates it...My guy been in the same exact location since 1956....

Oh and before someone gets the idea its a dealer breaker, it isn't,,Just a minor annoyance"

The service manager @ The dealer I bought my trike from confirmed they will reset the idle to 900 RPM per the MOCO instructions

Seems some have complained about sluggish throttle response and not returning to 850 RPM

I dunno if this is tied to the EIMTS bulletin or not

Dont want to start a fight, I have already set my idle up;)
