Default Problems...???

I have an 05 Electraglide Classic with the 88. I just bought it this summer and have put on close to 5,000 miles. Just lately when running, seems to happen more at lower speeds, the motor seems to miss once and a while.

Any suggestions on the problem and how to remedy it?

Thanks,

Webexpert

Thanks I will replace the plugs and give it a try.

Overall there are approx 21,000 miles total on it. When I bought the bike it had approx 17,000 and the local Harley shop did the 20,000 maint. on it.

.035 gap with a standard plug is going to work just fine.
