    Hi has anybody experienced a problem with the tickover on a Rocket 3. After running the bike for about 10mins the tickover drops to a point where it can stall. It only seems to happen when its hot. After it has cooled slightly it will start and tickover normally. This can be quite unnerving when approaching junctions etc as you never know if its going to stall. Any ideas ?

    Roll up to junction, a bit of back brake or front, clutch in and rev the nuts off it.. Scare the wildlife and listen to that fab engine note...

    Could be bad fuel, depending how often you ride as fuel these days will go off within 2-3 weeks. A good full tank of high octane fuel (shell) may help. Or it could be oil pressure as it heats up? Is it getting really hot like +130 deg?
