Yea FI will rev a tad high on start up. When the TPS goes it revs about 2k. Biggest tell tale is dieing at stop lights when you come off the freeway. Wouldnt hurt to clean the IAC though. Pop the air cleaner off and cycle the key on and off while spraying some throttle body cleaner in the IAC port.

Can't remember if the bike died when I parked it, but pulled off the seat to poke around (no clue what I'm looking for - loose wires) and check around for leaks or something. Bike ran completely normal and took it for a quick uturn donut and all was well. I did add some oil (half a quart) yesterday to get it in the in between add and fill line but it drove fine home.
Bike is an 07 fatboy with 7K on it and I had the 5K service done last year. Any speculation as to why? Someone mentioned maybe poor gas, I used Hess 93 which I have used in the past and actually filled up twice at the same station this week. Another person mentioned fuel filter? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If it does not return I wouldn't worry about it. It could have been the gas. How far were you through the tank of fuel? Water normally sits on the bottom and thats normally the issue with modern fuels.

If it does I would look for:

1. Fuel Filter plugged
2. Exhaust Leak
3. Coil, plugs, wires
4. CEL codes

Lou , I gave a Harley main drive gear bearing to our bearing rep today. He is going to try and get it sourced, may end up coming from Japan but we'll have something.
