Need help for 2012 Fatboy Lo
Hey all! I am a newbie! Just got my endorsement in May and bought a 2012 Fatboy Lo with approx 9300 miles. Had her for a week and she ended up back in the shop for a new stator and regulator. Then the fuel pump went out. New fuel pump and new battery and I thought I was good to go.
Fast forward, 3 weeks. Took her out for a nice 100 mile ride, no issues until stopped for a quick break. Backfiring and sputtering with power loss. Blue puff of smoke from exhaust and both pipes cherry red!!
Not sure what is wrong. Suggestions, thought?!?

Who is doing your work? Farrow? If so East or North?
What was the original symptoms when they replaced the stator and rotor? Were they the same when they replaced the fuel pump?
Kinda sounds like they are throwing parts at it

I bought it from Moto Boutique. That work was done by their mechanic. It is with my mechanic who is an independent shop.

Have them take a look at the temp sensor, I had a bike here recently that they thought the Power Commander was failing and running really bad, turned out the temp sensor was at fault
