    Hanging Idle

    I have had every one of the pain-in-the-butt idle symptoms but have so far resisted replacing anything, not tpms's, not messing with the EMC brains, not anything. Currently bike is running fine and at start up it runs up to 1800-2000 rpms for a moment or two then settles down to 850-900 rpms...

    R3 Touring 2013 Fuel Filter Location

    I felt the same way when I learned my Harley Electra Glide's fuel filter is inside the tank. :oops:

    Starter upgrade issues

    For a moment there I thought I had been to your neighborhood of Prince Edward Island, but then realized I was actually about 4000 miles to the Northwest of you in Prince Rupert Island, BC during a cruise a few decades ago.

    Starter upgrade issues

    Okay, good idea. Now I just need to figure out how to press the starter button with the clutch lever pulled in and at the same time be in a prone position on the ground where I can see the connections, in the dark, with my one good eye. 🤣

    Starter upgrade issues

    Hey Turbo, let me horn in with a question. Today and every once in a while when I hit the starter button I get a loud, "snap!", as if I touched a screwdriver or wrench to the battery by accident. Is that an electrical arc of some sort at the starter> What might be the cause? Thanks.

    Unknowns When Riding a Known Road

    I wish muscle memory worked that way for me when I set down my glass of whiskey and later it takes me 15 minutes trying to find where I set it down. ;)

    Gearbox Issues

    Ah, vibration, I know that word. Never felt any vibration in my Rocket other than that between the clutch and my drive train at zero speed maneuvering in my garage or parking lot. So, if your bike is vibrating when first applying power with every gear change, 2nd and up, then that should...

    Gearbox Issues

    Originally you said, "jutter", which by definition is a, "beachcomber"., well, here in California anyway. Then someone said, "judder", meaning, "to shake violently". Can you be more descriptive about what you are feeling/hearing and when you feel it. I am somewhat able to relate to the word...

    Gearbox problems

    I was in East Anglia in the summer of 1971. I had recently graduated from college and my Dad wanted me to go with him and my mother to visit the Podington RAF Base. He flew 35 B17 bombing missions(92nd Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force) from there over Germany, France, Holland and Belgium...

    Off road? Why are they on a road bike? What makes them off road?

    For Sale 2008 Touring Silencers

    2008 Touring Silencers: These were removed and replaced with D & D pipes by the original owner. As best I can recall they were too quiet for some owners. I was about to donate them to the local landfill but now wondering if someone wants them. There is a small dimple on the top inboard area of...

    Guess It Was My Turn - went off today (crashed)!

    This reminds me of a time a couple decades ago when I was on a Harley forum and the subject was accidents. I admitted to having some level of fear when bike riding. I was stunned by the critical feedback I got. Basically the comments said I should not ride and the only bikers on the road...

    Final drve drain bolt

    Absolutley! I have been reading this and wondering why the heck no one has suggested doing what you just did. Magnets normally repel each other but I would give it a whirl. If that fails I would put some sticky goo on the end of a screwdriver or something similar. I sure would not be in any...

    Front tire options?

    A couple years ago I was asking the same question with an emphasis on improving handling. I was having to use much more effort in steering my '06 Classic through all the mountain curves here in San Diego County than I thought necessary. 1olbull recommended running a Michelin Road 5 backwards...
