    Engine Idle Speed

    When you removed throttle body from engine did you just hang it there or disconnect cables? Free play at grip has a lot of play if return cable is loose. REC. lift tank and check for some slack there.. on pull cable. Cable at throttle body is adjustable and also at cables from grip assy.

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    I have to agree with Fred W. in many ways. I started riding dirt bikes and had a lot of good times. Areas are disappearing so many never get the chance ride. Money and time are the others. Parents don't have the time working to much and riding areas are far away. I could say more but won't go...

    Wide Open Throttle question

    Rev it higher. If you're in 4th gear at 75 and open the throttle all the way it reduces intake velocity. Air moving through a larger opening than needed. Down shift. What is the true redline? Tach shows 9500 but mine revs higher. Soft . 10,500 shuts off spark or fuel. ?????

    Concourse oil problem caused by Harley Davidson Employees?

    No oil. Engine won't last long I've seen them seize in a mile. Rod and crank bearings lock up. Remember the movie Smokie and the Bandit. Truck driver gets beat up in bar and when he leaves drives over their bikes. That's pay back. I could never let that slide.

    How's this for low mileage....

    Looks clean. Price a little high even with low miles. Looks legit. Has original spare parts a wrecked and rebuilt bike would not. Still might have issues from no use. Fuel system brake fluid tires.
