Default 2005 RK custom running problem


Hi all and thanx for keeping a great forum alive!

I have a 2005 RK custom totally original setup and when engine is cold and running stable speed 20mph on first gear or 30mph on second it does´nt fire on every stroke. I can feel it also when warm but not as bad as when cold.

The dealer changed the ignition wires but it did´nt help and I feel like the 8 degrees injectors are also crap on 2005 models even if the factory recall is only for 2006 models.

What do you think (I know that stage 1 could help but I want it to be working original during the waranty time before I start to play with power commander) ?

Any first reviews on 07 models somewhere?


-Mikael
