Default 2008 Fatboy

I have had my 2008 Fatboy 96 cu in for 2 years now and I love it.

I started having a sporadic issue where sometimes the bike will want to stall on me during deceleration.

When this happens I will need to keep giving it throttle to keep it running. It doesn't happen all the time and when it does occur I can shut it down and restart and the issue will go away.

New plugs, new air filter, only run supreme gas in it and will run seafoam through it every fifth tank of gas.

Thoughts???

Thanks,

It's the Seafoam!! lol

What other if any modifications are there to the bike? Does this happen with a full tank of gas or when it is less then half?

I haven't noticed a correlation with full level to be honest. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Thanks,
