    High Idle

    I'm sure the high idle is the computer compensating for the cold engine as mine does that when cold. I start mine put on the gear, gloves, helmet and such and by that time the idle is down and it has never hesitated when cold at all. I don't really like starting a cold motor and just hitting it right away. I even let my truck and cars warm a bit before moving just to get the oil flowing without a load on the motor.

    It just makes sense Dog. I never just jump in or on something and take off. Let those lubricants get in all the right places.

    My 2013 did the same thing and I also almost dropped it and hurt my back trying to hold it up. But my 2015 has never had a problem. Could be just the 2013's, Have you had a chance to take it in?
