Mine has to be warmed up, otherwise if stutters and takes off. 2013f6b standard. Thought it was just me being new, its my first ride and have had it 11 months, at 9k miles right now. Still does it.

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.

I had really good intentions with that statement 53. You've been hanging around the other Steve too much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell it to the psychiatrist...Dr. Freud.

Intentions aside, that was funny!
I always let my bike get to normal operating temp before taking off but it still stumbles til about 4th gear. But after that it's good. 2013 B
I feel lucky for once / I start mine and go never a hesitation. (I know I should warm it up but I usually just take it slow for the first foot or two.)
Do you guys have the models with carbs? (Sorry / I am usually the one that has any available problem)
Did you shoot and barbecue that damn bush hog?
I have another idea back when I was a kid they always told me to take my 1968 Camaro out on the highway and go as fast as I could to burn the carbon out. I have done this with everything I own and my cars all have over 200000 miles and still run strong. If you baby an engine it just will not like it when you need to use it hard. I believe that if you ride around slow all the time the engine will never run to its full potential. I think the best thing to do is ride it like you stole it most of the time.

You guys with the stumble problem should try running a couple tankfuls with Lucas in it.
