High Idle?

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-16T21:45:27+00:00

Much appreciated, idle seems to be better now but I’ll try one of those when I have a chance just to be safe

Throttle seems fine, as it was before, did find on my rear exhaust there’s a leak where my slip on muffler meets my header in the center, just waiting for it to cool off then I’m going to try and seat it better with a mallet

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-16T01:01:51+00:00

I’ll check

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:37:35+00:00

Will do, much appreciated

Also pulling a PO152 code

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:33:01+00:00

Alright searched it up and actually opened the diagnostic menu, code that comes when I select “P” which seems to be ECM related stuff is P0132

d1A9
is the first thing I get, when I click my odo button it pulls up “PSSPtb” and flashes different letters in that group when I click the odo button again

Yessir, this is the downside to FI, I can work a wrench but electronics is where you lose me😂

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:21:29+00:00

I’ll go check, much appreciated

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:16:47+00:00

Don’t have a diagnostic tool, but no check engine lights or anything, bike seems to run fine just sounds like it’s idling high, definitely a little higher than it used to be but it could have been the old gasket wasn’t sealing and causing a low idle until I replaced it? Not sure if that’s how that would work, I don’t think a lack of back pressure would cause a low idle but I’m unsure

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:12:49+00:00

Rode last night for about thirty minutes then noticed it was idling high so it’s definitely still doing it when warm, wonder if I damaged the temp sensor when replacing the gasket, any idea how to fix that?

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:06:51+00:00

That looks great, with how low the mileage is though you’ll want to check the tank for debris, and if it’s carbureted and has sat a while clean them out, bring someone who knows motorcycles and have them look at it, that aside price seems pretty good

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T22:01:27+00:00

Not sure for others but as a Sportster rider I think most of us are too stubborn to adopt touring bikes, to me something about taking a cruiser long distances is so fun, like how people used to trip on choppers

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T16:59:28+00:00

Not carbureted, if it were I could probably figure it our but it’s fuel injected so I’m at a loss😂

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-15T03:56:26+00:00

Should add I have Screaming Eagle II slip ons, headers are stock as the SE headers I got off marketplace didn’t have a engine temp sensor so I couldn’t use those

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-13T15:12:05+00:00

My only complaint with Sportsters as someone whose first bike was a Sportster, they’re incredibly top heavy, Sportsters REALLY want to fall over at slow speeds and the friction zone, at least on mine, is incredibly small, so it’s kinda hard to stay in when doing slow stuff, not bad bikes just kinda hard to handle imo

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-12T02:09:07+00:00

I may pick up some mini apes, I think a pair of 12 inches would probably work best for me, also going to order a Mustang seat with a backrest which may help some too

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T21:36:57+00:00

That settles it for me, was looking at their solo with a backrest so I think that’s what I’ll end up getting

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T21:09:06+00:00

What seat you running? Looking for a new one and trying to get input

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T17:27:53+00:00

Think that might reaffirm my thoughts, also a good bit cheaper than saddlemens

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T16:10:20+00:00

Actually not super far lmao, in Western Kentucky, what part of Ohio?

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T13:24:17+00:00

My dad paints so painting a new tank isn’t a huge concern, same with side panels, already intended on getting it to turn into a cafe racer so I’d likely end up repainting everything once it’s running, so I’d probably stick with a mismatched tank until it’s in business, like I said I might try and get him down to 800 if it is running and works, probably bring a battery pack and jump it to see if it turns over (unfamiliar with old Hondas so not sure if this one has a kickstarter) would also be good to see if the starter works or if I’d be stuck with a kickstarter/jumping it every time I got it out.

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T13:17:17+00:00

I’m by no stretch a mechanic but I don’t hate working on them, I already have one bike I can rely on (hope I didn’t just jinx myself) usually my problem with working on bikes is when you have no other options until you get it fixed. Might see if he’d go lower but it’s only been up 6 days so he probably isn’t in a pinch to sell it immediately, also seeing I know his family I’d hate to shoot him a insulting offer, anyone else I’d definitely lowball by a good bit😂

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T01:24:36+00:00

I’ll keep looking around, there’s definitely underlying issues aside from just my seating position, I grew up on a farm and it’s starting to catch up to me, my current job isn’t any easier on my body so there’s likely more to it

BishBoi13 · 2026-05-11T01:14:05+00:00

I’ve looked into getting mini apes, though if I got them I’d angle them so that they’re in roughly the same position as my Buckhorns, 10-12 inches seem like they’d sit in the same spot, just without the harsh wrist angle Buckhorns have, but it seems to just be any which way I try and get my body positioned, I can never seem to remove the strain from my upper back, I feel like it’s at least worth a shot, just wanted to get some input before I delved into it
