Harley Davidson Choke Cable Tension Adjustment

How to adjust the choke cable tension on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. If you choke knob doesn't stay pulled out when you're starting your Harley-Davidson motorcycle, there is a way to set more tension in the choke cable, so it will stay choked until you push the choke knob in. To increase the choke cable tension on your Harley, turn the little black knob behind the choke knob clockwise, and it will create more tension on the choke cable, which will make the choke knob stay out when you pull it out. Adjusting the cable tension on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle is very easy to do, and it can be done in under a minute.

Just tried this on my 02 Lowrider. Bummer: looks like the previous owner already did it, and that knob is pretty well torqued real tight. I'll check for your cable mechanism replacement video. Thanks for this series!

@Cosmotube1960 You're welcome. I'm going to upload the cable replacement video to Youtube later tonight.

@bigrobnz You're welcome. I figured a lot of people don't even know that the choke tension is adjustable, so I made the video. On my bike adjusting didn't help because the tensioner was worn out, so I had to replace it.
