What's wrong with her?
Dropped the bike off at the dealer Thursday afternoon. They were pretty backed up and told me they won't be able to check it out until Tuesday morning, so still waiting. I will be sure to update here when I get some news.

So it's be over a month and it is STILL HAVING THE ISSUE. So since my last post I've had my bike at 2 dealerships and 1 indy shop and they still haven't found the issue.. though every time the do something on it they said it is fixed.
Work so far done:
-New gas w/ 360
-New spark plugs
-All new sensors
-New exhaust gaskets
-New oil
-New oil pan
-New throttle body
-and last but not least a Power Commander V
And the bike is running the same as it was a month ago!! So frustrating.. next things to be tried are new slip-ons (because I have cheap straight pipes) and a new air filter, with a new map.
Anybody have any other ideas??

It didn't have to do with the problem, they just noticed that it needed to be replaced.. of course.

Man I got in this loop with my 07. Honestly all it took was finding a tech that knew what the hell they were doing. I did go through a bunch of people before a Harley Master tech said man this is not a big deal. For me and my bike which is not your bike he reflashed the ECM with the proper download and I didn't see the issue again. I am not saying your issue is an improperly flashed ECM, you just need to find a tech that really knows what they are doing. Right now you have a bunch of idiots throwing expensive parts at the problem.
Anybody know a master tech in southern cali? Inland empire to be more exact.

I see absolutely nothing regarding fuel, a check of the filter, filter housing, high pressure fuel line leak in the tank, gummed up sock, low fuel pressure. Has anyone even checked fuel pump pressure?
How do you present your problem to the various shops? Do you just say it is running badly or do you give each shop the benefit of what the others have checked so far? If each shop just repeats what the others have done, finding the fix may take a very long time....and a lot of money.

Check your plug wires visually and ohm them as well. Check the coil too. May want to start checking electrical connectors throughout the bike.

My bike sat for about a week and now it is sputtering at about 3000 rpms in every gear and has a lot of decel pops. My bike has about 12500 miles on it and i just changed all the oil about 2000 miles ago.
I installed the kury hypercharger about a month ago and it has been riding fine until now. Could this be happening because my bike has not been tuned?? Really don't want to have to take it to the stealership, any help please?
