cold blooded Evo
Greetings,
I recently picked up a '96 Electraglide in order to get my wife two-uo...seems she didn't like the ride cushion of my 2007 Victory Hammer as much as I do :-)
Love the old 'glide bu the bitch is cold blooded even after 20 minute warm-up and 5km ride in 25 celsius (77 fahrenheit) she starts to come alive and runs well for the rest of the day...buddy told me Evos were cold blooded...I figured something like my '83 Kawasaki Eddie Lawson Replica but this is ridiculous...any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

Sounds like something isn't right maybe some gunk in the low idle jet? Mine likes to warm up before I take off but once warm she just shakes at idle. I'm not a wrench or anything so take what I say as is. I clean my air filter every two months so far so good but I've only put 5k miles on since Feb 2010 when she became mine. Have you looked at the plugs? The plugs should tell you a lot especially if the PO didn't ride it often. Good luck with her I know I'm so glad I went with the 95 flstn. One more thing it took me a while to using the right amount of choke down pat, it was driving me nuts until I found out what she likes.
