lol in the other side of my garage is a tubbed out nova on my lift. been building it. my Harley is actually at the dealer getting worked on. hesitates and backfires through throttle body on cold starts. dealer says it is normal! lol. I called Harley customer care and filed a complaint against dealer for literally talking to me like I am stupid. the general manager laughed at me and said you know it is a hotrod and you have to warm it up first! the service manager said the same thing. it did this since the day I brought it home. I almost laid it over once and almost got ran over 5 times due to this issue. Harley customer care said there is a problem in the tune. dealer says it is normal because they can't find the problem.....ugh.....I miss my bike!
Yes, the general manager and service manager at your Harley dealer are idiots. No, you don't have to "warm up a hot rod" at all as long as you're running a multi-viscosity synthetic oil (like we run in our Harley's) and even if we were to run single viscosity conventional oil it doesn't cause "lag and leap" and backfiring that is you problem. I was the crew chief on a (local) NASCAR race team and it was "fire and race" during practice session (races did have warm-up laps but not practice) without really allowing the engine to warm up. We built our engines a lot more extreme than any street rod. I'm going to guess the problem is with the electronic fuel management and ignition system so yes it's a problem related to the "tuning" of the motorcycle.

You obviously need another garage, one for hot rods and one for motorcycles. LOL

Perhaps you can ask Harley Customer Care where to take the bike when the local dealer is incapable of fixing the problem. I'm thinking a different dealer if you have one close.
