I second (third?) the fuel pressure check. It could also be the fuel connection at the bottom of the tank.

The AC should have a bolt in the middle to remove the cover.. It may be under some cover.

Your wasting time on the coil.

Thanks - I was able to remove the cover and get the filter off - it has some oil residue on it - about to follow the suggestions to clean the IAC

okay, well - IAC cleaned with some MAF sensor cleaner - and a lot of gunk came free from the port.

bike was riding great for the trip I just took - could it really have been that simple?

I think you answered your own question.

Since you did not have idle problems, and if it is indeed fixed, I put money on you cleaning the IAT sensor.. You invariably got it while hosing the intake..

Thanks for the report. FWIW, I've got a buddy with a 2012 Road Glide that had the same issue. Cleaning the throttle body corrected the same issue..
