Default Engine miss

I started noticing a miss in the engine, It seem like a ignition miss, but I'm not sure. I's an 05 electraglide with 15000 miles. I just replaced the plugs, didn't seem to do much good. It seems to be more noticeable when not under much load in lower gears. Any ideas

Yes! give us more info on the bike.
year make model
what mods have you done.
Might check the compression and change the coil / spark plug wires.
15,000 is not very many miles for those, but it can happen.
Possibility you got some bad gas. Might want to try a little dab of gas treatment.

It's an 2005 Electraglide Stock. Been through afew tanks of gas, no engine mods, only thing I did last week tried changing the plugs, didn't seem to make any differance.it seemsto be more noticeableif I'm coming off the throttle or lower gears not under much power, don't notice it when cruising or accelerating.

I'm experiencing the same thing, I have a 2000 Carberated TC-88B and it seems to be missing at low speeds or when I have quit accelerating. Changed plugs, cleaned carb. with spray cleaner which seemed to help some, but it still misses. It has 45,000 mi. on it, any ideas?[&o]
