Default Streetbob problems help!!!

Hey gents , I seem to be having problems with my 07 bob. It has about 10k miles on her and she just started to go south on me. The problem is that I start it up and it idles fine no problem. Once I get going at about 30 plus miles an hour she start to hiccup and and wants to shut down unless I pull in the clutch and keep the revs up. Any help would be very helpfull THANK STRANDED RIDER JORGE!!!!

I'm thinking plugged fuel filter in the tank, bad ground, narrow injectors, or bad gas.
I'd lean toward narrow injectors.

10k on it and there are issues.
Mine has 32k and nothing has gone south.
I'd start at the fuel filter,fuel pick up may have an obstruction,fuel injectors may be clogged.
Storing a bike with ethanol polluted fuel can cause issues.
Try running half a can of regain fuel system cleaner through it. Or seafoam

I don't have any fuel issues but I have been using a homemade mix of stuff in my fuel in every motor I own.
It consists of 2 stroke oil,the tc-w3 stuff because it burns clean,no ash.
Try 1 ounce of 2 stroke oil,1 ounce of mmo,with 3 ounces of toluene/acetone/xylene. Those chemicals are commonly found in octane booster/fuel system cleaners.
If you buy them from a paint store you can get a gallon for 10 bucks and will last you many years.

Ill try the fuel cleaner. The bike hasbeen stored for a bit since I just had a baby boy about six weeks ago.It probaly sat for six months with out running since I was getting every thing reasdy for the arrival of my boy. Just never had a chance to get the bike out for a ride. Thanks for the info , I'll let you guys know how it goes.

What error codes are you getting? Could be the crank position sensor? Do you have a power commander fitted - as it may be water ingress causing poor electrical connections - voice of experience !
