Hi,
I currently own a 2011 Harley Electra glide ultra limited, recently I have been experiencing low acceleration. I've tried to look on forums of what could be causing it but I can't figure it out.
A little background on the issue, when I accelerate hard from a stop my bike seems to lug, it throttled all the way to the rev limit but it feels like there is no power. Also when trying to accelerate on the freeway it does the same thing it goes to the rev limiter doesn't accelerate then kinda bounces at high rpms but won't accelerate, If I slowly build speed and add throttle it's fine but it's quick throttle on where there's no response. Hopefully that makes sense. Currently I have grand national 4" pipes, 103 cu, Arlen ness stage 1 big sucker, and pretty much stock everything else
