running lean

RE: running lean
This is the sort of thing that would/will turn people against Harley- Davidson, and I wouldn't blame them, either. After spending a boatload of money on a brand new motorcycle, it doesn't run right and you have to spend even more money to get it right instead of the dealer. That is just not right. It's the companies responsibility, not the new owner. I would be steaming mad.

If your dealer refuses to fix it call another dealer. If they won't fix it call HD MoCo directly and remind them what a saftey hazard this is because if it spits or coughs when your pulling into traffic and the engine stalls then you have a severe problem. They will fix it.

Coughing and spitting when cold is the nature of big twins.

It was not a comment it was a fact, the original question was about a "stock bike" which are shipped from the factory with a very lean condition due to new EPA regulations, some will cough and sputer when not warmed up and you try and ride off, same as the EVO'S with carbs did in the nineties if you tried to drive off before a 5 minute warm up., If you want to talk "BS" then lets here some more of that Hard Khrome propagada.LOL
