two items here look them over. one is from the ED manual and the other is from the service manual. pick up a service manual when you get a chance, they a 60 new at the dealer and can also be found on secondhand.
Maybe a dealer will give you some free advise. Harley should've stayed carb. That's the EPA for ya.
I bought a sportster with EFI and ended up putting lots of dollars into it to make it run better. Well, I found a low mile carbureted 1200 so I bought it! And the EFI Sportster is getting sold. The dealer told me they could not guarantee that they could cure the off idle surge, even at $450! Guess us riders have to be re-educated on how these epa mandated lean-burn bikes run......crappy! Ain't this a beautiful country?
This is my first efi bike and its already has me scratching my head. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to see what I can do to get it going. I think I may stick with the carb bikes myself.
If you just put gas treatment in the tank, of course it will take some time before it gets into the carb. I remember my '04 was fussy if I did not have fuel stabilizer in it when starting it after sitting. It would crank and crank and crank and not fire. But yours is a different beast with EFI. Good luck.

Ok guys sorry for absence. I work for family and it's crazy hours! So,I turned the key over ten times in a row and it started right up! I'm use to carb bikes so I never dreamed turning a key over ten times would make it start,but I'm learning about these electronic bikes. Now it's only hitting on one cylinder but I'm sure it's just an injector or plug/wire. Thanks so much for the help everyone! This forum is the best thing out there! A bunch of bikers from all over the place putting their heads together kicks ***!
