Troubled V Rod!
Ok, looking for some help with this one! I have an 04 V Rod, love the bike but after riding it for 30 miles or so the thing wants to start running on one cylinder. Cuts out, coughs, sneezing! I can pull over, shut it off and she will run fine for another period of time, then I have to shut it off again. Any insites on what to look for or which direction to take?

The bike throws a "front cylinder combustion" code? I have replaced both coils, and the fuel rail. Didnt make a difference. I have the bike apart now looking for a broken or rubbed wire, but not finding anything. Turning into a mystery bike!

Not sure what you mean by fuel rail. The fuel flange issue was a cracked pipe inside the fuel pickup assembly that goes in the fuel tank. It could cause the symptoms you are describing. If you take the fuel cap off and look inside the tank when the bike is running you should see a mist or stream of fuel spraying if the flange is the issue. There was a service bulletin about this and there were a lot of these faliures.
