MANUAL IDLE ADJUSTMENT FOR HARLEY DAVIDSON FUEL-INJECTION (1995-2021/2023)
Testimonials from some of our most loyal users who have deliberately chosen to manually control the idle speed of their fuel-injected Harley-Davidson, rather than relying on electronics. This authentic approach simply requires returning to the traditional 'choke' action, as on our carbureted models – a reclaiming of control that values rider skill over automated assistance.
It's really nice to hear the difference when slowing down and changing gears. I find this device particularly excellent! A remarkable product!
I've been using the Potato 2.0 on my 2015 Street Bob 1690 103 CI for over two years and haven't had a single engine problem. I even had it serviced twice at Harley-Davidson, and they found nothing wrong; quite the opposite, in fact. I can assure you this product is excellent. It gives my bike an impressive idle that other Harley owners admire. It's a superb, high-quality French product. Installation is really very simple. Happy riding everyone!.
I had the pleasure of installing this product on my 2008 1200 XL R and I am absolutely delighted with the result! The customer service is outstanding, with very quick responses to emails. The product is truly perfect and your communication is highly professional. My sincere thanks!
We're thrilled to share that our Sportster has clocked up 60,000 km and is still in perfect condition! Our Dyna, with 20,000 km on the clock, is also running beautifully. I'm actually planning to get one for my Softail Cross Bones. A huge thank you to Phil for this exceptionally high-quality product!
I am delighted to share that I have been using this product on my 2009 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 XLC for three years and I am really very satisfied with it!
I'm pleased to share my experience with this product, which I've been using on my CB Sportster 1200 for four years now. Its build quality is truly remarkable. Installation on a Sportster is very simple and takes no more than 10 minutes. I couldn't do without it anymore; it's become essential! It allows for a perfect idle (around 800 rpm), helps reduce fuel consumption, and significantly improves gear changes. It's a real joy to hear my motorcycle produce a sound reminiscent of a carburetor.
I'm delighted to inform you that I've been using this potato screw on my 1584 bobber for four years with exemplary reliability. Its precision is truly remarkable. Phil, who is not only an expert but also very passionate about his field, will always be happy to answer your questions. I highly recommend this manual idle adjustment screw; you won't be disappointed.
Although some have expressed reservations, this product is truly highly regarded by users who have taken the time to explore the various tests and reviews conducted by several people in different contexts (my mechanic also happily tested it). Everything works perfectly, without any oil pump or alternator issues that could affect battery charging. I've personally had the pleasure of using it on my 2012 XL1200CA for over four years now, and it works admirably! If you have any questions about this fantastic product, don't hesitate to contact its friendly designer directly rather than those who seem ill-informed. Phil is always very helpful and will respond promptly.
I'm happy to share my experience with the Potato device, which I've been using for four years on my 2013 Harley-Davidson Sportster XLC 1200. Installation is really simple thanks to the very clear instructions. This wonderful product will allow you to rediscover that characteristic and much-loved low-end sound of Harley-Davidson engines. It also has the advantage of improving your engine's smoothness and eliminating that slight knocking noise when shifting into first gear. For your peace of mind, fuel-injected engines have a very practical warning system that alerts you to any problems. If the check engine light comes on, don't worry! A simple adjustment by screwing or unscrewing will solve the problem and turn off the warning light.
My 2005 Harley Road King 1450 has 82,000 kilometers on it, and I'm happy to share that its twin-cam engine is running beautifully. I would advise you to be wary of Harley's recommendations, which might steer you towards buying a €1500 carburetor kit. Interestingly, they generally don't mention replacing the oil pump. Also, the potato screw is truly fantastic; I now use it systematically. A big thank you to Phil for creating this incredibly useful invention.
Four years and 25,000 kilometers later, after riding my 2010 Nightster, I'm delighted to see that my engine is still running perfectly. I'm really attached to this Potato 2.0 and wouldn't dream of parting with it!
Super excellent parts! Happy with the purchase. Super ease for mount and adjust settings. A+
A customer recently purchased a Sportster with a POTATO. This device, installed by the previous owner, was no longer working. I contacted Bikes Fargo, who preferred to send a new unit free of charge rather than repair the old one. The replacement was processed quickly. I sincerely thank Phil for his assistance. The quality of sales and after-sales service is excellent!
Installed on my 1450 Heritage on Friday, May 24, 2024. It's a real pleasure to listen to, especially at idle and during gear changes. Installation was very easy thanks to perfectly clear instructions. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
Mounted on my Softail Slim 103 CI for several years. Flawless !
I'm delighted to have this excellent accessory installed on my 2006 Harley-Davidson Street Bob. It works perfectly. Thank you.
Works as described and looks great. Nice to be able to control the idle RPMs just like a carburetor choke. The aesthetic tone is also nostalgic of earlier year carbs.
Easy to use, beautiful finish and slow motion adjusted to perfection, with a stainless steel bell as a gift. Congratulations to the Bike's Fargo team 👍
This extra detail on the motorcycle makes all the difference. I particularly appreciate the ability to adjust the idle speed to my liking, and the distinctive sound and build quality are truly excellent.
It's been working perfectly since 2020. I've also fitted it to another Sportster model with excellent results. I regret the incompatibility with my newer Harley-Davidson.
I own a 2003 Harley Davidson Road King, a 100th Anniversary model, equipped with the Potato system since 2018, as well as a 2013 Street Bob, also equipped with the same system for almost four years. I haven't encountered any problems with either motorcycle. Rather than paying attention to unfounded rumors, I strongly advise you to consult qualified experts to obtain reliable information and thus avoid any inconvenience.
I haven't had any problems with my Fat Bob 103 CI for several years. I still get just as much satisfaction from manually adjusting the idle speed up to 750 rpm.
Installed on my 2005 Softail Deluxe since May 2017. It works perfectly and still gives me immense pleasure! Long live the Potato!
I fitted it to my 2012 Fat Bob 1584cc. No problems, just pure pleasure. Only riders who have tried it can truly appreciate it.
I installed this device on my 2012 Iron motorcycle. Installation took only 10 minutes. Three outstanding aspects: the excellent quality of the product, its quick and easy installation, and the real pleasure of adjusting my idle speed. THANK YOU.
Excellent! The company delivered the correct model despite my mistake. Their quick response deserves my thanks.
Shipped fast, quality product. Love the old school sound it gives my fuel injected Harley
The error message only appears briefly, and now all you need to do is ride to restore the optimal setting of the Potato starter. I did a 10km test in cold, nighttime conditions, without any issues shifting into first gear, and I noticed that the gear changes are now smoother. I'm really looking forward to longer rides to fully appreciate it. For those who are still undecided, I want to reassure you: since the Covid period, I've hesitated to take the plunge, but I strongly encourage you to go for it with complete confidence. My only regret is not having made this decision sooner!
For 30 years, I used carbureted engines. For the last three years, I switched to fuel injection. The Potato device impressed me with its performance and robustness.
Hello fellow enthusiasts! I'd like to share my wonderful experience with the potato chip that's been installed on my Heritage 1584 for several years now. It's pure bliss! Its sound pleasantly reminds me of my old carburetors, and its dial works perfectly as a choke, allowing you to adjust the idle speed to your liking. Contrary to what some might say, I haven't encountered any problems; quite the opposite, it's a real asset to the engine. I highly encourage you to give your motorcycle this gift: the potato chip will give it that authentic Harley-Davidson sound, a controlled idle, and beneficent performance for your engine. Don't hesitate, you won't regret it!
I assembled this excellent system as soon as I bought it. I encountered a minor difficulty during assembly, but the team provided invaluable assistance. I wish the Potato a long life!
I had the opportunity to install the potato chip on my Sportster 1200, and I must say that the installation was really quick and easy. The experience is fantastic, with a perfectly tuned idle and an amazing sound. Thanks to you, Phil, for your invaluable advice.
I chatted with someone from Potato... just really nice... it's refreshing in this shitty world...
I run my 1450 injection at 550 rpm and I have never had any problems with the oil pump for several years.
Tested and approved, yesterday's sound on today's HD! And without any technical issues!
I've had it installed on my 2009 Sportster 1200 XLC for several years now and I'm never going back. Long live the Potato 2.0!
Excellent product created and distributed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, who themselves use it on their machines without moderation.
Installed on a 2008 Rocker, perfect instructions. Excellent product for getting my sound back - Thank you
This is a fantastic product that I highly recommend to all enthusiasts who want to recapture the legendary sound of an "old school" slow-motion video. I'll just say one thing: you have to try it! It's a superb product made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.
Hello everyone, I assure you that the Potato exhaust is truly an excellent choice! I had the pleasure of installing it on two different models, a 1200 and a 1584, and the experience was very enjoyable. In addition, it helps reduce fuel consumption, which is particularly welcome these days. But the most wonderful thing is its exceptional sound, which is a real joy! I highly encourage you to try it out.
I've had the Potato pedal installed on my Iron HD for two years and I never get tired of its sound. It's a great product that's easy to adjust. Don't hesitate!
Excellent product, I can control the idle speed exactly as I want, it's fantastic!
Hello, I also installed it on my 2017 883 Iron. The packaging was perfect, installation was incredibly simple, and everything is very well made. I'm really satisfied with the product and the advice I received. It gives the machine that truly iconic sound. Easy to install and use.
I installed it on my 2017 Forty Eight and my 2008 Cross Bones, excellent product that transforms your bike.
