Full throttle issues
i have been fighting my 103 all summer. got bad gas few weeks ago and got it cleared outand bike has been running great. but yesterday it started to act up again but different this time.
as long as i roll on throttle slowly it runs good, if you twist it wide open it falls on its face, stipping and sputtering till you back off. it almost feels as it drops a cylinder or not getting fuel/fire. the plugs are new, also running PCV W/ autotuner and heavy breather. im starting to think it may be an issue somewhere in the fuel delivery but thats a guess. does anybody have suggestions to try to get this fixed? i ahve a 2500 mile trip planned in 3 weeks and need it runnning top notch before i leave

EITMS is only active when the bike is stopped. If you're riding around and having issues, the EITMS isn't the problem.

i agree with you on how it works but it sure seemed to fix the issue, it could very well have an issue and cause problems while riding if it activates at random while riding.

I thought that you were talking about the Full Throttle in Sturgis.
I can't stand that money grubbin' hillbilly's place either.
Stopped in there before the rally w/a couple from NJ as they had not been there before. Fajita Mike asks us if we want a shot of "Sloonshine"?
I think we're being offered a shot of whiskey?
Well we are, but for sale..
What a jerk!!
