Been there, done that. The bike needs more time to warm up.

ORIGINAL: totalgeek

Ok I'm still breaking in my bike and I kept asking what the break-in period was, the sales person at the shop just said drive like you normally do, but don't go above 80 or rev the engine high. So I drove through town and on the highway (65 MPH Max). But now I got this weird throttle problem.

This only occurs sometimes not all the time, but when it does happen it seems to catch me off guard and I find myself catching myself from going through the windshield. I roll the throttle to accelerate, this only happens from a dead stop and in first, and it goes then seems to bog down for 1-3 seconds and then accelerate normally. I have a 2007 1200 Custom.

For lack of a better phrase is it F'd up? Do you think this has to do with the break-in method the sales rep told me? Or is it just my FI adjusting and still breaking in? I haven't even reached 500 miles yet.
BTW, also sounds like your timing may be too far advanced.

If it was carbed, then I also would say that it could be a primary jet problem, so whatever replaces that in theEFI may also be the problem.
