The result was a log jam. Round abouts in the city we exited in were just locked up, and even though we could maneuver faster than cars, and could switch lanes faster to try and keep moving,we were in stop and go traffic that was mostly stopped for about and hour and two miles. All 3 2014 CB's (2 dlx 1 std) were getting seriously hot so we turned them off, and restarted them often, before we finally broke thru traffic. No idle issues on any of them. I think both LR and Offroad have about 6 or 7,000 miles on theirs and I have over 34,000 on mine. So I am not sure it's stop and go traffic and a few lights causing this, but it does seem to be a common denominator in most of the issues we are reading about. Baffling and maddening.
'tis baffling...mine was just the opposite...no traffic, no stops, just 1 hour of 40-60mph country riding. Then turned off for gas, started it and 1500rpm and wouldn't budge from there till bike cooled.
