Took the GRiSO for a romp around the hills today, 240miles total, that kind of ended on a sour note. Towards the end of the ride, last 60mi or so, I noticed that my idle was high - 2500RPM. Clutch in or in neutral it was the same.  When I got home I let it idle for a bit and it did settle back down to 1200RPM after about 30seconds, but it does smell like gas when I went back out to the garage a couple of hours later.  I hit the starter and it struggled to get going, but did fire up. Idle at 1200RPM. Killed it, started it up again with no problems. Question
One other symptom I've noted is that it doesn't like heat, it has stuttered at idle sporadically when the weather's hot. It was 104°F on the last bit home.

So, the bike is 2014 with 3000mi. I've been running Beetle's FU map for about 2000miles. Stock exhaust.

It's too late in the evening to go poke around anymore, but any thoughts for investigation?

I've had the same thing happen to me twice. ~2000 rpm idle after a long spirited ride. Both times with different maps and exhausts. Both times, as I pulled into my driveway, idle stuck at 2000. After I open the garage door and ride in, both times it went back to normal. I can't explain it and have no real idea why it happens. Maybe the stepper has a hissy from the heat?

Thanks for the reply, Mark. I'll keep an eye on the idle and see if anything consistent turns up. Otherwise, just ride.

I have it happen abit.
What I've found is,
When it happens I load up the clutch abit as I'm slowing down and the idle will drop.
Or if stopped hold the front brake and load the clutch up a little bit and it drops.
Does that make any sense to anyone?

Oddly enough, and perversely, mine only does it in cool/cold weather! Usually at the first roundabout in Queanbeyan after I've ridden from home. Idle will hang for ten or fifteen seconds then it settles down and rarely happens again.

It seems to do no harm and isn't constant so I've sort of got to the 'Meh!' stage with it.

In hot aether it's most likely the stepper misbehaving.

Mine does that. Pete suggested I put in too much oil. Is that no longer the diagnosis?

I've found that if I put the bike in gear and let the clutch out a tad while still holding the brake that the little bit of engine load will drop the idle.

I'm taking it in for service soon to MI, and they said they would look at it. If y'all come up with anything in the meantime, please post.

Thanks for the replies, all.  It's good to know my beastie isn't the only one with quirks.  I'll try Ralf z's and motomonster's clutch loading if it recurs.  If that fails, I may take it in to have them poke at the stepper.

motomonster, my oil level has never been above the half-way point on the dipstick.  I doubt there is much in the throttle bodies, if any at all.  Please post if you get any info from your service visit.

I have the same problem. Asked Pro Italia shop about it and they asked me if I had a different map (with a hard look) then said "they all do that". Reminded me of when I had my Buell except EVERY answer was "they all do that", even when it had a blown head gasket...

Seriously, I don't think its a fault with the stepper itself. The stepper just does what the ECU tells it to do. If the stepper got stuck or didn't move, you're get a service code.

The steppers can get gummy. The TB butterflies too can get clogged and not return to a fully closed position. By loading up the engine with the clutch you can increase manifold depression by slowing the engine and therefore increasing its VE. That drops the pressure on the downward side of the butterfly so atmospheric exerts more force on it helping it close.

Overfilling can exacerbate the issue but all TB's should be removed for cleaning periodically.

Mine has done it since new with all different versions of maps every time I come down of the mountain and stoped for the first time. Peculiar but not a concern.

My 2007 GRiSO 1100 has exactly the same habit once the engine gets really hot (and especially when the outside temp is also warm/hot).  Like yours it settles back after 20-30 seconds but if I move the throttle a bit, it immediately calms down to 1200-1300 RPM.  I assumed it is the throttle bodies that need a cleaning?
