RPMs Sticking

[Pegasus]

Hey guys. Some times after the engine gets warm and I've been riding around for a while and I'm slowing down in gear, the RPMs get stuck right around 2000 and won't come down or comes down VERY slowly, so that I have to keep it in gear and break enough to bring the engine speed down myself. It's annoying more than anything because if I'm coming to a red light and I pull in the clutch and brake to a stop, my engine is still going at 2000 rpm. It's always around 2000 rpm that it happens at, and it only started doing this after I got the 10K mi service done at the HD dealership back in May of this year. It did this a lot right after the service but after a while it went away and now it started doing it again. Do you guys have any idea what would cause the engine to stick at 2k rpm when slowing down in gear? I was thinking maybe the tps? 04 XB12R.

try resetting the tps

Try turning downt he idle screw a bit. Mine did this after my tps reset at the dealer too. I also have the EBR ecm which reduces engine braking.
I turned it down and the "hanging' rpm went away, but i didnt' like it as much. So i turned it up again(very small amount) This lets my rpms hang for a few moments while i downshift for a corner without having to "blip" the throttle.
To each their own though.. When i reach a red light, i just release the clutch a bit and the rpms return to normal.

A big job to do ?Is it "doable" in place?

You have the links? Can't find anything ?

I think I kinda have the same problem ....

its not so bad but: i went trough some tight bolts , and no-space-to-work, and almost stripped the threads when building back the bike on the head ,be carefull! the replacement part:

I started having this too, and I figured it to be the intake gasket as others have said. I know you can get to OE gasket at H-D, and it isn't too high, but it is not easy to get to

 

[vinsxb12scg]

i heard the blue gaskets is drag parts.. must be better the H-D ones! and the are really easy to replace when you reach this step they got a lip that keeps them in place they wont slide out when building back the throttlebody
