i just brought a new 06' rk standard home.... and i've had it stall on my three times at red lights -- i hate hearing that car behind me blow the horn....... i thought it was a timing problem... or a break in problem since i only have 74 miles on it...... so i'm assuming now that its an injector prob?

I have the same issue with my SG... I asked the dealer about the injector issue, and he played stupid. I called Corporate, told them what I knew, what I was going through, and said that I needed some help. The next day the head of service called me to schedule an appointment. The ride is going in this Friday... My symptom is one HARD stumble at the beginning of the ride, and going into heat management mode after about 10 minutes in traffic.
Take the service bulletin with you to the service department. If they act stupid, call corporate. Be nice, and see what happens. HD stock oughta be flat. This type of workmanship and service is not what made HD the premiere motorcycle in the US...

RE: '06 Injectors! MOCO sits idle...on recall?
I keep reading these injector threads and am just amazed that some bikes are fine and other's are not. My '06 FLTRI has almost 2k miles on it and is running fine. It was built in November '05, so I thought maybe I had the #25 injectors. I checked, I have the #8 injectors. I have not approached my dealer on this issue, but the service bulletin does have a flow chart they are supposed to follow.
They are not supposed to just "give" these injectors away if ur bike's running properly. I can totally understand Caches point, but I can also understand the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. I'm leaning more towards the latter, mostly 'cause I don't like anyone touching my scoots but me. Tuff call...

Mine coughs every now and then but it hasn't stalled on me yet. My bike was built 9-9-05 so I have to assume I have the 8# injectors. If they switch to the CVO's do they need to do anything to the ECM? I gotta believe they would have to. Does anyone know?
...just curious what is the A/F ratio on a stock Twin Cam running 8# injectors? What is it with the 25#'s?
I'd like to know.

Read my paranoid post. Not saying that some don't have issues, but remember...YOU BOUGHT A HARLEY DAVIDSON. Harley in its 100 yr history, beginning with oil leaks, kick start issues, reliabilty, etc., has come a long way. They are not now or will ever be a Hon-Kaw-Yam-Bmw dealer...if you want one go get one. Most of what I see on this forum is a bunch of metic wanters that bought a Harley...when really, their desires were made overseas. Yeah, you have a lot of $$$ invested, but get off your *** and ride the bike and quit nit-picking. Sound like a bunch of old ladies. Gets you from point A to point B...be happy. Otherwise, go JAP. Not flaming you guys with ligitimate problems...just the cry babies. Tired of this $hit. You BOUGHT A HARLEY-DAVIDSON and surprise, that's what you got. Go ahead, flame me...but I am happy, done over a 150k on MC's.

RE: '06 Injectors! MOCO sits idle...on recall?
I appreciate your opinion and props for all the miles of safe riding.
But, regardless if it's a HD or a toaster, you as a consumer should have certain expectations of quality performance or you wouldn't have bought the product.
I hardly consider a bike stalling with the threat of leaving you exposed in an intersection unprotected as nit-picky.
I am happy about owning a HD, and the same for my Chevy. But if a problem exists I expect quality customer service....bar none!
Does that mean I should expect sub par performance just because it's a HD? Pleeeese donkey!
I expect the company to stand beside their product when problems arise regardless if it's a toaster, vacuum, or motorcycle.
The forum was designed to comment on issues that are of a concern. This was my concern.
I appreciate all those who make comments whether for or against.
Safe riding.
