Throttle by Wire RPM WAS Messed Up - PROBLEM SOLVED
My buddy has a 3 month old 09 Street Glide with the idle bouncing around all over the place.
He takes it to the dealer and while he watched, the service tech powers the ignition on and off 5 times and the problem clears. Problem solved
The service tech tells him that he probably threw the computer off by hitting the kill switch with the throttle revved up,, and by turning the ignition switch on and off, it resets the ECM.
He suggested that the kill switch not be used to turn the bike off and to use the ignition so that his hand is not on the throttle. IS THIS FOR REAL????
How much would you have to rev the RPMS to throw it off? Has anyone experienced this?

This is bad advice from a safety perspective. You should always turn your bikes off using the kill switch. You want that habit ingrained so that someday when you need to kill the engine NOW you will just nail the switch with your hands on the bar where they belong. Just make sure you aren't rotating the throttle when you routinely kill it. Should be pretty simple to do that if you concentrate on it a few times.
