Hesitation issue
I’m having an issue with my 05 Electra Glide FLHTCUI. After the bike warms up, I get hesitation and some sputtering when accelerating from a stop. It’s only a low RPM’s, if I raise RPMs to about 1800-2000, it will accelerate smoothly. No issues any other time. It only happens after it has been ridden for a few minutes.
If I stop for a couple of minutes it will start out perfect, but after 5 or so minutes, hesitation when I try to start from a stop.
i bought the bike from local dealer and it did the same thing, they took it for a ride and it had the hesitation. They took it back to the shop and said they would take care of it before I took it home. Of course, it ran perfect, but after a few minutes, same thing.
Dealer gave me a 30 day warranty, so it will go back.
The bike has 10,000 miles, a 95” kit, S&S dual exhaust and an Arlen Ness intake.
My question is, anything I should look at before taking back to the dealer? Also I checked and there are no codes present.
This is my first fuel injected bike, all my sporty’s were carbureted, so thanks for your patience.

If you have a warranty, don't touch it....
Anything you touch could give them a reason to void their warranty responsibilities...
It could be many things.... a fuel filter, plug, wires, etc, etc, etc, or one of the many sensors.... Let them do a proper diagnostic and fix it for you....
