Default Hesitant 883 on acceleration

Hey guys,

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.

Many thanks
Dave.

When this happens how much fuel is in the tank? My 1200 will do it if i am down to my last gallon in a 4.5 gal tank.

Could be low fuel.

Is your fuel line kinked?

Did you do any power mods? If you did, did you update your tune to account for the changes?

What RPM range does this happen in?

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.
