When riding my 2011 iron 883, i have noticed it seems hesitant under medium to heavy acceleration. There seems to be abit if a delay in power deliver, almost abit spluttery.
I recent give it a full service including a fresh fuel filter and spark plugs. Fuel pump isn't too old.
No engine management light comes on.
Was thinking maybe an injector problem?
Anyone have any advice where to start trouble shooting.
Hey, I'm not too sure the exact amount as I dont have a fuel gauge. There seems to be plenty if fuel in the tank but I am going to try topping it up tomorrow.

Many thanks

Dave, you describe exactly what all fuel injected Sportys do...they have a bit of hesitation on acceleration because they are a tad too lean from the factory.
Now, if you are getting more than a hesitation, an actual cutting out of the engine for a second, that could be low fuel or related.
To get rid of that factory hesitation, either a full tune, or something like the XIED's to richen it up a bit will make a world of improvement.
Rest assured I was speaking to the first post. Rest even more secure I would never ask you that let alone post a comment in a thread out side the POD of yours.
Your post is a troll post. Please don't do that outside the POD.
