SOURCE: 1983 FLHS starts and idles fine,pops and backfires when riding

In 1983 the carb used on this model was a kehin. They can be made to work well, with a couple of tweaks. First, on the top about midway, you will see a boss sticking straight up. Unless it has already been done, use a jabsaw and cut the top 1/8 inch off the top. Using a tiny improvised screwdriver, back out the idle adjustment screw which is down inside about a half a turn. Then remove the float bowl. You will see 2 tubes hanging down. Remove the rubber plug from the larger one and remove the low speed jet. The jet and the mixture screw are soft brass, so make sure you don't shred them. The jet has a number stamped on the end. Go to a knowlegble shop and get the next size up. For example if you have a 52 and they say the next size is a 54, that's what you want. Take the old jet with you and compair the size of the air holes along the side. They should be the same size. If not, they are selling you a jet for a cv carb and that will not work. (common mistake) Don't forget to shove that rubber plug back when you reassemble it. If I have your problem pegged correctly, the bike will be less cold blooded and the driveability will be much better.

SOURCE: 08 Street Glide install bub full exh with

Your check engine light is on because you are not providing the proper signal that used to come from the oxygen sensors. Install the sensors in your new exhaust (yes, drill it and put them back in), then connect the wiring correctly and it will work.

SOURCE: how to change tranny fluid on a 08 street glide

No offense, but you really need a service manual to learn which drain plug to remove to change the Trans fluid, there are three under there, two for oil and Transoil change the other is to be left alone. AFAIK, things change from model year to model year.

SOURCE: my 07 street glide won't

Computer has stored a code in it that the bike has fallen over, take it to a shop that can clear the code and it will be fine.

06 street glide dying until warmed up

Your cold idle setting is wrong. You need to adjust that a bit higher. When your scoot warms up, it will drop back to your warm idle setting.

Intermittily my 08 stree glide starter acks like it dont have enough power to start my bike

Usually, a series of rapid clicks indicates a low battery, or bad connection somewhere.

A bad starter relay gives a single, loud click.
