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

 

Perhaps the fuel filter has sediment in it and will not flow enough for wide open throttle?
Maybe try a can of Seafoam?

 

i thought about picking up a filter today and trying it, cant hurt. i have seafoam in the tank now and it hasnt really helped and ive ran most of the tank out at this point.

 

im having the same problem; it made it noticeably better when i turned of ETIMS

 

really? i will give that a try, isnt that just rolling the throttle forward till you see the light on the dash blink? i remember they showed me when i bought the bike but that was over 2 yrs ago lol

 

check out this thread for ETIMS

Great thanks

 

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

 

i turned off the ETIMS and i rode almost 500 miles this weekend with out any problems. looks like ya had the answer. time will tell if it keeps me trouble free

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!!
