Motor shut down on highway
I had a 107 built up on My other bike which is 2011 FXDC. Head work, cams, exhaust. And it was tuned. However a number of times the motor shut off on me while I was riding slowly in traffic. The motor would Idle slower and slower and then just shut off. Then I would start it up once again and it would idle and run as if nothing happened. When the bike was idling and I have felt the motor starting to slow down I would rev the throttle a bit to bring it back up again. Does anyone know what the issue can be

I had the same thing happen to me when my EITMS was enabled. If it kicked on, every time I let off the throttle afterwards, the rpms just wouldn't stay up enough to keep the engine running.
I disabled it, and haven't had a problem since. Does this happen when it's hot? Do you have EITMS?

The bike is a 2011. So what youre saying is when the engine heats up the rear cylinder shuts off. and because of my engine mods it might not be working properly?? Ive never heard of anyone complaining of this issue who had the same engine mods. And why would the motor shut down if only one cylinder is working? And it wasn't that hot yesterday. It was about 71 degrees and I was moving slowly. Then the idle began to slow down once I stopped. However the rear cylinder didn't shut off. I know what that feels like with my other bike
