JB Weld is an adhesive to join metal parts together. Good luck with your next step in your repair, I dont think you included what year your bike is.

Dave, the bike is a 2008 model xr1200. Not sure I could trust the jb weld as the shaft is cracked right through and the way these things vibrate! I was hoping Harley had recognised the problem and improved the throttle shaft, but I guess that would be like believing in Santa Claus . Les.

They have had a couple of these issues on the XR owners group site. They might have some answers for you.

Latest update, I went to my local Harley dealer and found out a new throttle body complete with fuel rail, injectors and all sensors was $520 . I think that is reasonable for the whole setup and the part number was superseded three times so hopefully it is an improved reworked unit. Only problem is none in Australia so I have to wait three weeks for one from the good ole USA, no offence intended. Les.

That is the price we Johnny foreigners pay Les, so here's hoping the leviathan that is H-D exports gets the parts to you asap.

Angry XR1200 fast idle problem

I did EVENTUALLY get the bike fixed in spite of all the resistance i got from Harley Davidson USA. After ordering and paying for a new throttle body i was made to wait six months and jump through all sorts of hurdles before HD would release a new part to me. The whole painful process is discussed in detail on the Harley XR 1200 owners forum. No Apologies or compensation offered for the un necessary delay and six months registration fees evaporated.

take your airbox off and check the srews on the throttle shaft are still secure before they end up inside your motor. Les.

Default Dash Lights Display

hiya fixed the over reving issue. Took the air box off & reassembled it properly as i found it was not put back together right also found the two breather line were cracked and split so i replaced them. It now when cold pushes to about 1800rpm then drops straight up so looks like I found simple solution to problem
BUT the engine light and charge light comes on when taking off. I pull over turn ignition off and then restart and the lights go off.
Happens occasionally now & again thats what made me think it may have been Power Commander
No error codes displaying
Have had the whole electrics tested and they are all correct
The Battery is new
Charging output is fine
New Oil & filter
anyone come across this issue before and have any advice where to go looking from here
