Check and see what codes may be set. Has the bike sat for a long time. Is it possible you have a plugged fuel filter. Can you hear the fuel pump run up when the key is switched on. You will need also to do a real fuel pressure test as fuel pressure is critical for EFI. You could also check to see if the injectors are getting electrical current at all. You can purchase a speciall test light to plug into the injector harness at the injector to see if it lights up when the engine is turning over. What is the history of the bike and the problem before the present problem??? POST again with more information.

THat is the fix for a leaky hose, for sure, no sense trying to patcvh it.

Do you have the security code? If not, it's a dealer reset.

How in the world did you end up with a motorcycle and you don't know how to shift it?

Standard shift pattern is down one, then up one click at a time to the top gear using the toe of your left foot. Down shift by tapping down, each tap goes down one gear through the neutral space to first. Neutral is down one up one. A neutral light should come on to indicate you are not in a gear. NEVER PUT ALL YOUR TRUST IN THAT LIGHT.

My friend, may I suggest you seek out and take the Basic Rider Course from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation before you go any further. It will not only teach you the basic operation of your motorcycle, which will help you obtain your driver license, it will also earn you a discount on your insurance. While it will not guarantee you a safe ride, it will give you the tools you need to be a safe and responsible rider.

Contact motorcycle dealers in your area to find out where you can take the BRC. Or, you can check here: http://www.msf-usa.org/index_new.cfm?spl=2&action=display&pagename=RiderCourse%20Info

Please don't ride your motorcycle until you understand how it works and you get the skills necessary to safely operate it.

Thank you

go to DTC. harleydavidson

Put both cables side by side. Are they the same length? Probably not. Go back to the dealer with both cables and ask what's going on with them. It could be that the prior owner installed a non-stock throttle then had the bike shop make a cable to fit, or the longer cable came with the throttle kit.

Your options are to get a new cable made to match the old cable or get a stock Harley throttle. If the throttle already IS a stock Harley part, then I would think the listing of what models the part would fit is incorrect. Have the guy at the parts counter try to match up cables.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Every 600 miles or 1000 km, either spray wax chain lubricant or pour some gear oil on it.
