Default Engine problems

I am new here and am looking for some info -

I have a 09 FXDC (super glide custom) that I bought in july 09. The past week, while at idel (both under load with a passenger and just me) the bike seems to bog down at red lights, almost stalls out, and sounds like it is misfiring. From a slow start, first gear hesitates and jumps, second does the same, and its smooth sailing there on out.

Any ideas?

Unless you've been adding a bunch of stuff to it, I suggest you let the warranty do its job if you think the problem warrants it.

Too many possibilities. Had a friend on a ride last year that had similar problem with his 2007 FXDC. His turned out to be bad gas he got from a dinky little station in the middle of nowhere. I think you already got the most appropriate opinion. Good luck!

+1 let your warranty figure it out and fix it.
