Ok, not knowing much about how to fix engines and knowing that I'll have to take it to the dealer, can someone tell me in advance what the possible problem is? I have a 05 wide glide, and the other day I was out riding and all the sudden it started acting like it was out of gas. EFI, so no reserve, head to the nearest station and fill up... not outta gas... Baby the thing home and pull the plugs, front plug was wet carboned, almost looks like oil, back one was fine. checked the plug wire, doesn't appear to be cracked broken or arcing. Cleaned and re-gapped the plug, stuck it back in, rode about 5 miles and went back home. Pulled the plug out after it cooled, and the same thing, altho one side of the plug appears to be normal and the other side is carboned up. Also, it looks like oil on the plug threads at the top, also a slight film of oil where the plug goes in... 6500 miles on the bike... is it dead or dying... Oh, it has SE II slip-on, SE air cleaner and took it to the dealer to have it re-mapped. Any help is appreciated... thanks...

 

Some 05s have a valve seal problem. Dealers are aware of it and have new replacement seals.
Sounds like that might be your problem.

 

Thank you SO much... I was afraid that I did something to it and was gonna end up payin big bucks for a new engine or something.
