I have this 2020 model Harley Seventy Two, with just a bit over a 100 miles on her. My problem is that it stutters and stalls during the first few minutes of riding, especially in cold seasons. Almost all the dealers I've talked to just advices me to warm it up for like 5-10mins, which seems too much for a modern bike in my opinion and it actually contradicts the owner's manual that only says to warm up for 30secs. This problem occurs typically during the transition from closed to open loop. The dealer won't review my tuner logs or basically deal with the issue. The bike runs fine once warmed up pretty nice. Does it sound normal to you guys? Raised this issue up since I really don't have much extra time for all this warming up stage everytime I have to ride.

That stuttering and stalling issue doesn't sound normal for a modern bike, if it only happens when cold, it could be a fueling or tuning issue. You might want to consider having an independent mechanic take a look, especially since the dealer isn't being helpful

I mean, 5-10 mins isn't an eternity, but I think it's a bit too much. I've seen ecus going too lean in certain conditions, especially in really cold temps, so that could be a problem. I think a tuner shop should have some more concrete answer than the dealer, which is no surprise
