Tonight I took apart the air cleaner and got some Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner and sprayed down the intake good and wiped everything down. Got a good shot or two on the IAS as well. We'll see tomorrow if it makes a difference. I paid closer attention today while riding to work. I definitely get a hesitation when rolling on the throttle in 2nd and 3rd gear, not so much in 4th and 5th. This morning when I came to a stop I got the stuttering like it was about to run out of gas, but not at every stop. If the cleaning that I did tonight doesn't fix it I think I'll try changing out the TPS this weekend.

Not that I know. I just had the bike into the dealership a few months ago for some new tires and a new stator. I would assume that if my bike was part of that campaine they would have notified me. But then again, I probably shouldn't assume that either. How would I find out if my bike needs this to be done?

don't quote me but I think the injectors that they changed to are 26* injectors , and they are labeled. maybe someone else knows for sure.
Just because you had it in a shop doesn't mean they even looked at the injectors if you didn't say something about it.
You can go to the harley website and put your vin # in and tell if it needs done too.

After the injector issue Bill03E mentioned, this would be the first suspect on my list. I had an intermittent misfire and high-idle episodes, never at the same time, for over a year but sometimes with gaps of weeks between incidents. I changed plugs, gas brands, fuel hoses inside the tank, plug wires, and the IAC motor--but nothing worked beyond the short term. Incredibly difficult to diagnose! Finally, it started occurring every day, showing odd throttle-position values on my PV display (e.g. sometimes 10% at idle), and throwing repeated TPS codes. I changed the TPS and the bike has been burp-free for almost a year. It's a $31 part and I would try that as a starter after checking on the injector situation.
Keep in mind that TBW bikes have no TPS, at least not the mechanical type, so this fix applies only to cable-throttle bikes.
