Hello all, I just purchased a 2008 Ultra Classic a couple of months ago\\\\\\; this is my 4 th Harley. I have had an 86 Sportster, 2004 Fatboy, 2006 Road King, and now the Ultra. As far as higher speed travel and trueness of the bike(tracks straight when I let go of the handlebars) it is the best Harley I owned. I bought the FuelMoto system from Jamie and it has added power, and reduced some heat issues. Problem is that after riding for an hour or so and having to wait at a stop light the bike will die/stall or stumble when I give it gas taking off from the light but not die\\\\\\; I am either in neutral or have the clutch pulled in while at the light.
I have searched and concluded the following and am wondering if this is this due to the heat management system shutting down the bike at a stop or running on one cylinder as far as the stumble goes?
Also, it doesn't always happen, but enough to be annoying, and to wonder what is going on.
