Moderator Posts: 3508 dieseling issue 4 Years, 12 Months ago   I don't really know how to explain it but, when I shut off my R* the engine will almost reverse and sometimes even backfire. Anyone else have this problem? It seems to happen when the engine is cold or hot.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #28544 2000roadstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 259 Re:dieseling issue 4 Years, 12 Months ago   I don't know if it's the same thing as yours, but sometimes when I shut mine off it will cough/sneeze as if to release the compression.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #28567 jvcexc (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 477 Re:dieseling issue 4 Years, 12 Months ago   Smhowse, mine does it occasionally. I am not sure what causes it, but, it will reverse direction and you can usually hear the starter turn backwards. I have developed a habit of letting mine idle about 10 or 15 seconds before turning it off and it doesn't seem to do it so much. I don't think it is a problem, just a big twin resisting quiting what it likes to do best. jv   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #28579 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12519 Re:dieseling issue 4 Years, 12 Months ago   It just doesn't complete it's last stroke and the compression pushes the piston back down in the reverse direction. The key is off so there is no spark to burn the gas. In other words it BURPTED!   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #28618 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

I was having the same intermitent problem and when I backed off the idle a little bit, it went away. Hasn't happened since. I don't have a tacometer so I don't know what it is set at but it's a slow and steady cadence that allows smooth operation.

Moderator Posts: 3508 Re:dieseling issue 4 Years, 12 Months ago   Huh I'll check lowering the idle it doesn't sound too high the dealer said R* shouldn't sound like the Hardleys where you can could the engine revolutions and that R* need to have a higher idle. But I will turn it down a little and see if it helps.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #28744 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:dieseling issue 4 Years, 12 Months ago   Idle speed is 850 to 950.....Coug <br><br>Post edited by: Cougar, at: 2007/05/31 20:26   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
