Complaint Summary
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owner Narrative
WHEN COMING TO A STOP , THE ENGINE SPEED OR RPM WILL HANG UP AT AROUND 2500 RPM FOR SEVERAL SECONDS,,,INSTEAD OF GOING TO IDLE RPM SPEED.THIS CAUSES THE OPERATOR TO HAVE TO PULL IN THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE MORE AGGRESIVLY THAN NORMAL...ONE DAY THIS IS GOING TO KIL SOMEONE. NORMALY A MOTORCYCLE ENGINE WILL GO TO IDLE SPPED WHEN CLOSING THE THROTTLE IN COMING TO A STOP. MY 2015 INDIAN SCOUT WILL HOLD THE THROTTLE AT ABOVE IDLE SPEED,,,AROUND 2500 RPM , WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP. MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP,,,, UNLES I PULL IN THE CLUTCH,, WHICH NEGATES THE ENGINES ABOVE NRMAL THROTTLE POSITION. THE THROTTLE HAS NO CABLES,,, THIS IS A "FLY BY WIRE " THROTTLE SYSTEM...SOMETHING IN THE SOFTWARE IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I AM A LONG TIME MOTORCYCLE OWNER AND OPERATOR WITH 50 { FIFTY } YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND 4 MOTORCYCLE IN MY GARAGE. THIS NEEEDS THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURE////I INDIAN !!
