Picked up a Road King Classic the end of January. Stalled getting out ot the parking lot. I thought it was because it was a new bike. It progressively got worse the more I rode it. Stalling, backfiring, rough idle, etc. Yesterday they put in the new injectors and I can't believe the difference. Still vibrates at idle, but not like it did. Pulls strong from a stop, no hesitation. Doesn't seem as hot when stopped at a light. My indy wrench said it was the worse riding Harley he had ever been on. I am happy with it now.
Going back to the dealer next week for new injectors.
Thanks to this forum, or else I would have never know that its not normal for a FI TC88 to just puke and stall at stoplights when rolling in the throttle.

PS. My cage is a 94 GMC with the electronic 6.5 diesel. You wanna talk about stalling problems...
