New road king will not idle with hot
Thought I would ask around before contacting the dealer. I like to have as much info as possible before going in there.
Once the motor gets hot it will stall at stop lights. Got to where I have to just kill it when stopped then start it when the light turns green. Any ideas? Also I cannot get it to go into neutral to safe my life when it is running. Once it is turned off and cools a bit I can get it into neutral with no problem. I only have 210 miles on it so far. Perhaps break in issues?
Thanks

As far as finding neutral, it takes a while to "break in". At your 1000mi. service get some better fluid in there and you'll notice the difference.

Thanks for the input everyone. The slipping clutch makes sense. It indeed acts like it wants to jump into gear with the clutch pulled in after it gets hot. I indeed don't think the prepped it well. I had to pay a lot of money for them to do that too. I am not happy. Have an appointment to take it into the dealer on Saturday.

Don't get all worked up about paying for the prep work you paid for. With under 300 miles, there's a good chance that the clutch cable has stretched enough to get the adjustment out of whack.
