AFTER STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE THE IDLE IS NORMAL. ONCE UNDERWAY AND WHEN YOU PULL IN THE CLUTCH THE RPM STAYS HIGH AND DOES NOT GO BACK TO NORMAL IDLE. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF DOING THIS AND MODULATING THE THROTTLE IT USUALLY GOES AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE MOTORCYCLE IS STARTED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2011-2013 YEAR MODELS BUT MINE IS 2014 AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
