3rd Gear Jerking during Acceleration
3rd Gear Jerking during Acceleration
I have been facing a problem when on 3rd gear and only during acceleration. Checking the forum for some answers, have noticed that most have the problem on low RPM's, yet could not come across anything on higher RPM's.
I ride an 08 Ultra Classic Electra Glide and have gone stage 2 with it. Pipes are Monster Ovals, Upgraded Cams, Upgraded Air Filter and a fuel pack is also installed on the bike. I am starting to believe in Gremlins at this stage.
Any thoughts on what the problem could be is highly appreciated.
Thanks again and ride safe.

Any rpm, not a specific range. Stage 2 stuff has been done over a year ago
Have had the mechanic look at it a few times now and nothing has improved. I need to take it back them and tell them to check for a few things and quite frankly, I am lost at what I should tell them the probable causes are. Same Mechanic is the one that did the stage 2 for me and the mapping on the bike.
Cheer,

I have heard of this when there was a ECM or Tuner problem. You mentioned mapping, why type of Tuner did you have installed?
Have you tried disconnecting or re-flash original program back to the ECM and see if the problem continues. The bike overall may not run so good during this test but that might isolate the problem.

Thanks Toby for the input. Will have him take a look at the Tranny first thing tomorrow and update on here accordingly. Much appreciated
