New member and thanks for having me .2002 ultra classic bike cold starts fine after a ride engine stays @1000 rpm and is not right. oil pressure is good
new temp sensor new IAC new intake seals cleaned and removed throttle body. Battery is good new plugs bike has a historic code. This happened on my way home one night has been idling like this for a month now things I've checked so far vss sensor cleaned Crank sensor cleaned Check for vacuum leaks Check for codes Looked at exhaust system Check all wire connectors and fuel injector wires as of yesterday having a starting problem it's random I have to give it a tiny bit of throttle for it to fire up now and other times just push the button. |
So when hot the idle stays at 1000 rpm. I don't think that is off, You could take some kind of tuner and maybe increase it to 1100. I am guessing the bike is new to you, and you think 1000 rpms is low. If it is steady, and not bouncing, I think fine. You can look in the manual for what it should.be

The 1000rpms feels like 500rpm very low and shakes so I replaced the front engine mount with Harleys new style. It just idles low to we're it's like spark nocking

You first harley or first rubber mounted harley? |
On hot idle after a 30 mile ride the engine drops to 1000rpms shakes like all engine mounts are 50 years old wants to spark knock until I rev it back up. If it was idling @1050-1100 I wouldn't be joining a forum and asking questions

1000 rpm is the proper idle.

That is as close to the classic HD sound that you're going to get out of a Twin Cam without spending some serious $. It does sound like it may have some aftermarket cams in them. That said, if you want the idle higher, adjust it higher. |
I ran both my '00 Road Glide (injected) ans '02 Dyna (carbed) between 950 and 1050 without issue.
Shaking at idle is normal, and as above I also think you need to look elsewhere. |
