96 XLH1200 Cold accel problem
not honestly sure how to word this but here it goes ... When i pull out if cold it lurches like your stabbing the clutch . sometimes it will do it once sometimes 4-5 times but only when its cold and seems to have gotten worse here since it has cold off here in Pa
Is it a fluid issue ? too thick maybe ?
Clutch locks up tight so its not slipping ( Hard accel it will pull front tire off the ground 1st to 2nd easily
Let me know what you think the issue is please
Thanx much

Cold carburetor issue. My bike takes a long time to warm up, even here in SoCal. I would not be hammering on it while cold. There is nothing to warm up the intake manifold or carb like on an automobile. I took mine out today in 60 degree weather and she was temperamental for at least 10 minutes. Without some heating of the manifold, your mixture is all over the map till warmed up.

I don't hammer it all when its cold .. It just concerned me that it might have been a tranny issue or something .. If its a carb issue i can live with that . I will just have to let'er warm up alittle longer
