I backed the idle screw off to set my tps. "Very tight" and moved in downward steps. Now the idle adjustment screw will not turn clockwise. When turning it clockwise its so hard! Its twisting like a little pigs tail. Help please. My idle at this current moment is set to "0" I cant get the 5.1 adjustment for a starting point adjustment. Effectively my bike is dead.

Pull your airbox (yes, the entire thing), place a rag in the venturi of the induction module, and squirt some lube at the cable where it threads in below your throttle & idle cables. Cable Life or the H-D Chain Lube Plus work great for this. The spring will ensure that tension remains constant so that your idle will not drop after the lube is applied.

Hope this helps get you back on the road.
