My buddy told me is VRod started running on one cyl the other night. Just a dead miss. He checked all the obvious stuff (plug, wire etc)
I think his is the 1st year of em?
Is this common? I've never heard of that happening.
Not common but of course can happen. \\; I would check the coil and the coil connections for that cylinder. \\; May wanna also swap the dead cylinder coil w/ the other cylinder and see if it happens to the other cylinder. \\; Also, check for any codes.

Bingo!!!

You were right !! I talked to him tonight. It was a coil. I guess this isn't that common, but according to the dealer
who did the ext/warr repair for him, it's not the first one.
