Sporty's Running Rough
Sporty's Running Rough
Ever since I got the SE air cleaner installed along with the download, I've had some problems with the way Sporty runs. It's usually fine, but sometimes when cruising downtown at around 25 - 30 mph in 2nd or 3rd gear she'll run rough. Missing, sputtering (short ones), sometimes a gag or cough with a phhtt coming from the air cleaner.[:@] I was hoping to get a few ideas as to what it is before I take her in for the 5,000mi maintenance. I hope the dealership doesn't give me a hard time about it. This never happens at higher speeds in higher gears.
What do you guys think?
Thanks!

Plugs, fuel mixture, this is good. Apparently maybe electrical connections and/or wiring (thanx wesd41).
I'm no mechanic but maybe I could pull the spark plugs and check for fouling. Any pointers on pulling or cleaning?
Any thoughts on installing the Screamin' Eagle® Performance Spark Plugs?
Keep it coming.
Thanks.

don't waste your money on screaming eagle plugs. don't waste your money on HD plugs. go get NGK's or Autolite's from Advance Auto or AutoZone. i prefer the NGK's. my bike also runs rough when i first start riding until its completely warmed up. especially in or around 2nd gear at low speeds. hope this helps,
later,
