CB1100 Idle speed instability problem

Add me to this list... US 2014 STD. 8800 miles, arrow slipon, TSR funnel air kit, PCV

NJ/NY state rides. Yesterday I rode for about an hour, mostly highway, some highway with a lot of lights and stops.

Hit a part of traffic and it sounded like there was a harley behind me, but it was my bike with low RPM almost coughing. I blipped and it died. I pulled to the side, turned off key, turned back on and it started. Went a few mile and stopped at Home Depot and as I was slowing down it stalled again. Waited 15 min and it started again. Back on highway was fine and at a light stalled again. Didnt want to start until i waiting a few min. Then was going 30mph and it stalled. I help the clutch to try to roll home. Wouldnt start after that. Walked it home

Today I TPS reset and went for a ride and ran perfectly. I will post back if it comes back... but lost a lot of trust in my bike.

Sorry to hear that, particularly about the stalling part because that's dangerous.

It seems that there are degrees to the low idle. Mine has never stalled. Sometimes it bottoms out at 500, sometimes 700. The last ride it was fine--read my previous posts the last few pages if interested. Mine started with the high idle first at 1500...that went away with combo of throttle reset, some sea foam and WOT riding.

I'm going to ride another few weeks, monitor it, and then visit with dealer. It's out of warranty.

My bike and yours are the same, and a common factor that I can see is that we both had around the same mileage with the first problem. Interesting, but it doesn't help in any real way.

Hopefully, your resetting has solved the issue. I'd be interested in knowing that a few weeks / months down the road.

Keep us posted.
