I ride a 2006 FXD35,Stage 1 tuned from new.At around the 4500 mile mark she developed a misfire when warming up.She starts O.K and runs smooth when warm,but about 90 seconds after starting from cold shestarts tomiss,sometimes bad enough to stop themotor completely.My local dealer replaced the plugs at the 5000 service and has had another look at her since (under warranty)but the problem persists,I took the S/E mufflers off and refitted the stock ones but no joy there either.Any ideas?
Take a flashlight and look under the gas tank (behind the horn) on the left side of the bike and you should be able to read the part number. Your bike should have the 25's if the production date was afterFebruary 13, 2006. If you are unsure of your production date you can look it up on the HD website.
If you have the 8 degree injectors you may be getting cold start misfire. Get a copy of TSB M-1185 from your dealer or the MoCo. I have a copy at home if you need one. Your dealer should replace them under warranty. Mine did the same thing at about 500 miles. If you have the 25 degree injectors you have another issue.
