Replacing idle adjuster cable

[frankxb12r]

Hi guys,

few hours ago my idle cable just broke off. I managed to set up the idle with a plier but I have no idea how to replace the cable once I got it. Could you send me some posts or picture in order to do this??

Thanks again guys,

Franklin

same thing happened to me. i managed to adjust it with pliers like you and then changed the cable when i had to rotate the engine down for something else. its possible you might be able to screw a new one in without rotating the engine down but it wont be easy.

It just unscrews and you should be able to get at it from the top.

i know this is old, but if you take the ignition box off, it becomes literally a 30sec job

I was doing a TPS reset and had the same thing happen. It is idling around 1150 rpm and I can't get to the remaining cable to adjust it. It snapped about 5 inches back and I cannot tell where it runs. Any further directions for replacing it? This is a new one for me. 04 XB12s.

Anyone know where to buy a new cable? Thanks!

sean: mothership H-D still lists it as an active part # and not very expensive.

Thanks. Someone told me the same thing on another forum. Do you happen to know the part number? I'm looking for a buddy and he said it wasn't in the parts manual...
