07 High Idle Issue

A few have experienced a higher than normal idle on the 07 bikes that climbs higher as time goes by. It will set a code for idle controller (P0505) when this happens which you can find here....

The cause has been found to be the idle stop screw that is located on the throttle body. It should be capped and installed with a locktite from the factory but for some reason, it seems to have been overlooked with the loctite at the factory and vibrates out and hangs the throttle up in a higher than normal idle.
Readjustment to the proper idle speed and an application of locktite will cure this problem.
 
Where do you find this Idle Stop Screw and once you remove it to put thr thread loc on how do you set it

Look where the cables attach to the induction module, behind your air cleaner back plate you should see this screw

The idle needs to be set with a scanner by an HD dealer, the problem with the screw is it some times backs out or such Clean your IAC for sure, this is an easy job and makes huge differences in how your bike runs
 
I have this exact problem. Which number on the diagram is the offending screw?

It is not numbered in the diagram, tho it looks like and idle stop screw on a carb, it should be the only screw you see by the bell crank at the stop or full closed position The bell crank is where the cables attach to the side of the induction module
