Default 2009 Nightster low rpm problems.

Hey guys. Im New to the forum. But I'm have some troubles hopefully somone can give me some advice. Last month I washed my bike wouldnt start. Got it started and ran like ****. Had water in my ecm plug. Fixed that problem. Now Bike is running good on mid to high rpm. But low rpm it skips, an has a hesitation/not smooth. Idles great tho. Someone help...

clean all the terminals on your entire bike because it was soaked in water. although there may be perminant damage and things may need to be replaced. check if your bike is throwing codes. if so get an electrical diagnostic manual and trace the problem. or take it to a dealer.

This is why stopped using a hose. I filled a Windex bottle with water and a little bit of car wash. I just spray and wipe down after every couple rides. Then use a spray detailer to shine up.

As for you're problem, the above person probably addressed. You have an air compressor? May want to blow out all the nooks n crannies and connectors.
