I can agree, I just want to track down and correct what to me is a slight annoyance. I want the bike to run correctly whatever that may be. I do not like the beach except for the evening time. I work in the sun all day long so going to the beach during the day sucks.

I agree with yazergod this sounds like a tuning issue. I would get an aftermarket tuner and tune it yourself as it maybe hard to find a HD tech that can work ona bike that old (I kid you not).

I have reused headbolts without any issues, but if that makes you uneasy than by all means replace as they are not that expensive.

hi !before you take motor apart, start with checking for manifold leak them the fule filter and clean or replace the injectors, then if that doesn't work, if you have a added fuel manage ment, try unplugging it and cruseing the neighbor hood, if that doesn'work id start with the cam n see whats going on there, if you get down to bare pistons check youre play in lower end by the manual. while youre in the cam box id put a new bearing and also would be time to change cams if you like. good luck bud

Thanks for the words of encouragement. My trouble is not idle though as it idles great right at 950 to 1000 according to the tach. Problem is riding at sustained low speed through subdivision doing less than 2700 rpm, I get a lot of stuttering, once I give it some throttle it goes great, just not under 2700.

Last tank of 93 octane 10 % ethanol 1/2 bottle of sea foam. This tank same thing. My personal unedumacated guess might be flat spot on the tps.I can see what appears to be a little seepage at the tps. see attached photo sorry about the focus.... While looking at air filter and throttle body today I tried to clean the air temp sensor, ya know since I was there. Did not get a chance to ride though. After this tank I will switch back to 90 octane pure gas and see if that helps any. I was also thinking perhaps a bad or partially fouled injector. I think if one or two of the holes are clogged that may explain then with throttle maybe the rest open ??? Any ideas on how to safely and easily clean. I have seen some videos on Youtube but seemed kinda beyond me at the moment. I did find some on ebay not priced to bad. Anyone know if I have the 8 degree on the 2000 or was that only on 06 and newer with the 25 degree change out. mine are orange and most of the ones I see for sale are black or silver with one that has a yellow stripe or am I looking at the wrong part, again see photo...
