Harley Sportster Idle Air Control Cleaning.

Harley Sportster Idle Air Control Cleaning. My Harley Started stalling while Idling and the RPM's were low at idle. So I cleaned the IAC sensor. My Harley has been idling like new. This was done on a 2013 XL1200. We used CRC Throttle Body & Air-Intake Cleaner.

Rocco, I appreciate all your videos as I am mechanically challenged. As a new Harley enthusiast, 96 Sporty, I find your videos helpful and have inspired me to slowly dive into basic bike maintenance. Have a good day.

I read about this procedure in threads. Was cool to see a competent demonstration, thanks Rocco. Wouldn't be a terrible idea to place a rag for catching all the run-off though.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. Absolutely put a rag if you're getting over flow. I try not to overdo it. A few times is better than once overdoing it. I like to do it put it back together take it for a ride.. Thank you for watching and you sub Dallas pirate. Any questions just ask. Ride safe and have a great day.

Great video!!!! I’m mad at KZbin, been searching all day and couldn’t find anything helpful until I got to this video. I bought a neglected brand new 2015 1200 Superlow and been having engine idling like someone is playing with the throttle. I changed oil, spark plugs and charged battery. Nothing worked but this did

I've got a 2016 XL1200X, with two weird behaviors that started during a day of hard riding. 1. When I start it, it revs up very high, to nearly 3000 rpm, and hangs there for much longer than it used to, maybe 10 seconds, before returning to idle. 2. The throttle would get "stuck" open, not the physical throttle, I've checked that there's nothing stopping the cables or the valve for the throttle body from working, but I would take my hand off the throttle entirely and I would just sit at 40-50mph on the highway, not slowing down or stopping. I replaced the throttle position sensor all ready, which seems to have helped the startup issue a tiny bit, dropping the max starting rpm from 3300 to 2900 or so (though maybe that's just the weather or the fact that it didn't have much gas in it until yesterday when I brought some home), then I did what you did in this video, which unfortunately hasn't helped. Any tips? I'm thinking maybe I have to replace the IAC sensor

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. I would agree, change the IAC sensor. Let us know how that works out. Thank you for watching in your sub Raoul. Ride safe and have a great day.

Can this same process be used to do a light cleaning on the cv carbs or is it better to take it apart and use carb cleaner? Thanks for all your work on these videos. They’re great for guys like me just getting started turning wrenches on these great bikes!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

If your carburetor is giving you any kind of idle problems. Then I would suggest cleaning the carburetor you can spray carburetor cleaner in the air holes as your running with the air filter off. just to clean up any dirt on throttle plate. If you have a problem with your idle. you have to clean the carburetor usually your Petcock would be a first thing to test. make sure you tank screen is in good condition.

Ride Safe and have a great day.

3:20 What's wrong with gas exhaustion? Is it normal? Does it have anything to do with cleaning the throttle body?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

I've been cleaning it and you get a little buildup and when I started it, it got funny not a problem. Thank you for watching all your support and that was from cleaning the throttle body as you stated. Ride safe and have a great day. New York City, global organization

Hey man! I’m having an issue with my 1988 Harley sportster! I have to keep giving it throttle in order to stay running. If I lay off the throttle it eventually dies. Is that a vacuum leak? I was gonna replace the seals on the manifold to see if that did anything. Any ideas??

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Hi I've encountered a throttle problem with my '17 XL1200C. After riding for 45mins or so, or until the engine is hot, the engine won't return to idle on closing the throttle. The throttle grip itself is closed OK but the motor continues to run at slightly high revs. Once I get stopped, say at traffic signals, after 30-45 seconds the idle speed will reduce to normal. Also if I hit the kill switch and then immediately re-start, the engine will re-start at normal idle revs. Will this procedure help? Thanks in advance!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. Yes that is your IAC. . Clean as described in the video and it might take more than once. Thank you for watching and your sub Ray. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it works out

[@jacobcronan1358]

Isn’t it bad if that dirty liquid gets sucked in?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

There is no problem or harm to your molar. These products have been around a long time. Your motor burns it right up and cleans it at the same time. Thank you for watching and your sub Jacob Little bit. Ride safe and have a great day.

[@jacobcronan1358]

I just cleaned mine and had a dirty puddle going into the motor am I fucked or what

[@TwoWheelRocco]

No not at all. start the bike and let it burn through the system. You'll see it will run better cleaning the carb.and your intake.. As you can see they get dirty, when you look inside your carburetor. Let us know how it worked out. Any questions just ask. Ride safe and have a great day
