Default Hello from San Antonio!

Hi there,

I'm actually here because I need help with a stage one kit that I tried to install on my 2019 Street Bob. I ordered an Arlen Ness air cleaner, Rinehart slip-ons, and the SE street tuner. After I get everything installed, I fire it up and take it for a spin, only to find that the bike wants to idle at like 1500 rpms, and when I'm riding, it stays at 2500-2800 rpm no matter what gear I'm in.

I have two thoughts: 1. I somehow have a leak in the new air cleaner, which I can't believe, because I followed the instructions to a "T." 2. Harley's pro street tuner doesn't work with the Rinehart mufflers. If anyone here can assist me in my predicament, I would be forever grateful!!

Nick

I just installed the basic stage 1 for 107 w a/c and slip on, after following the directions and putting in the year and model of the bike.

I would reload the map, and try this as well.

Throttle by Wire High Idle Reset For Harleys. To reset your idle setting back turn the ignition switch on for 10 seconds off for 10 seconds (do not start the engine), repeat a total of 4 times. That should reset your original throttle position.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!

so I reloaded the map and reset the idle setting, but it’s still acting the same as before. I do have a more exact description of what is happening.

when I first start the bike, even after it’s heated up, it won’t idle below 1500 rpm. If I open the throttle maybe 5-10% in neutral, the rpms go up to like 2200, and hang, then slowly come back down to 1500. When I tried rolling it in first through my neighborhood, the rpms stay high no matter what, around 2200 rpms, and when I disengage the clutch, the rpms actually go up! If I open the throttle a little in first gear, then release and leave the clutch engaged, the bike stays at 2200 rpm and basically rides itself. Also, I’m dealing with a whole lot of heat coming from the header where it connects to my new rinehart muffler.

help!

So just wanted to report back that I took it to the dealer and they discovered that the plastic intake manifold had melted and warped, so I had a big intake leak. They replaced it with the aluminum version and I’m good to go.
