Just that. It shouldn't stall. It is a fuel injected bike.
Does your car stall? Nope. So what makes a OBDII bike any different than a OBDII car? Mission Control. We have a problem.

wouldn't be suprised if mine was more do to rider error than a mechanical problem. it's always started right back up and rode without problem.on a side note i have had it "cough" at me when starting it a couple of time though.It might need to go back to the dealer to be looked over but i just got it back recently and am a little leary of letting it go back.last time they had it it was for 1 month 5 days.

Dallas, I was wondering why you were being so quiet on this issue! I thought if anyone would speak up it would be you! I was beginning to think I was the only one with this issue!

I bought the 07 because of the EFI and now thinking I should have bought a 06 with the carb at least I could have rejetted it.The problems I am having is a running lean issuse blueing of my front pipe andrunning hot, stumbles when cold. Talking with the dealer and from what I read this is a common issuse. HD is blaming the EPA for making them run lean but for big bucks they will remapor dyno tune for even bigger bucks. IfI understandwhat I have read on the pclll it will only correct in the higher ranges, I usally don't run in the 40 to 50% throtle ranges. My only choice for now is ride it till it breaks, maybe by thenHD will fix their problem!

I have 2 EFI bikes, from cold start the Sportster stalls out a couple of times in the first 2 - 3 minutes before it is ready to go. My Triumph doesn't have a problem, its purring from cold all the way up to operating temperature. Definitely a problem with the EFI on the Sportster and I think it may have started when we did the Stage 1. Its an annoyance but not something I need to get fixed after figuring out that after the first couple of minutes its ok.
