Here goes wifes bike 05 softtail. Had cam work and new cam plate . Ever since then bike a miss in it. Could go temn miles or 30 miles it will skip and sputter. Dealer has had the bike 4 times same thing all set Wrong. Can anybody give me some ideas here . They have ckeck crank sen. fuel in, fuel pump, petcock, replaced a good PCiii. Now they are looking at the ecm . so help this driving me nuts thanks slick

 

Sounds almost like the timing is off. Did they get it properly timed when the cam was done?

 

NO petcock on a fuel injected bike or NO fuel pump on a carbed bike. Which is it? It cant be both.

 

Its FI sorry about that they had it on the dyno 3 times

 

Sounds like a bad or loose electrical connection to me. Vibration could be causing a ground or open circuit to come and go. Are you getting any codes? Try wiggling your wires and connectors with bike running and see if that doesn't simulate your problem. If you're getting codes they may point you to the cause. I check for any codes that may be stored. Good Luck!

 

Why are they putting it on the dyno if it is only hitting on one cylinder?

 

I think Nute may have it. Check battery terminals for being clean and tight.

 

Bike sounds like it's not getting fuel when it acts up almost quits running. thanks for helping out
