My dad just bought an 02 SE Road King and in between 1200 and 2000 rpms it feels like it has a dead cylinder about once every 5 to 10 seconds. has anyone else had this problem? does anyone know what we can do to fix it? thanks

 

There have been some problems with the fuel injector wiring, especially at the end where the plug connects to the injector. The wires look intact but in some cases, inside the insulation the wire has broken apart. Try moving the wires around with the motor running.....carefully... and see if you can get the idle to break up. It seems to happen more on the rear cylinder injector.

 

I have a 03 SE RK. Front injector wire was broken under the tie wrap about 2 or 3" above the plug.
I just fixed it this last Monday after dealer had it 6 days and said nothing was wrong..
Another guy on the CVO group had this same thing last Sunday on a 02 SE RK.
That was the reason I pulled the tank and checked mine even though others had already told me to check it..
