Being jerked around
Heres the scoop:
I bought a 06 Streetbob a little over a year ago. The bike has always hada "jerky" problem. Whenever I try to keep the throttle steady (like trying to go around 18 MPH) the bike lurches and sounds like it is sputtering.
Here is what I have done to try to fix it:
HD replaced the injectors with the correct ones
Screaming Eagle Slip-ons
Screaming Eagle A/C
Racing download
The injectors and the download have definately helped the situation but I can still feel it when I am going through a parking lot. I am thinking about taking it to the dealership and having it Dynoed but I don't want to pay for something and then have it still run like crap.
What should I do next?

Not sure how trading to a night train is going to help you. Any vtwin ive ever riden is jerky at slow speeds, you need to useyour clutch.

I can't believe that you haven't had the bike Dynoed. I have never heared of a harley that wasn't out of tune from the factory. Good luck!

Unfortunately they charge extra to get it tuned right. Personally, I think it should run its best when it leaves the store but the EPA has ruined that for us.
