    I have an 02 road king, pretty much stock, 80,000 mile on it the other day I was going down hwy about 80 started cutting out like it was loosing fuel or spark then it would gain it back, limped it home, looked at some teck tips started eliminating items, replaced the crankcase position sensor...thought i had it fixed got down the road about a half mile same thing, swapped out the coil...same thing..checked the fuel pump(see if the hose was leaking inthe tank,chked plug wires plugs ect , could it be the heat sensor since it does it after it warms up?

    Sounds like FI since he has a fuel pump in the tank.

    This sounds electrical. The manual has some trouble shooting starting points. Have you checked the back of your Service Manual?

    Other than that give us some more info. We love a good puzzle :D

    :D missed the fuel pump in the post. Still could be plugs or wires that may be going bad. How long has it been sense they were changed.

    Glad you got it figured out and working.
    As for the picture gp to the upper left and you will see User CP and open it up. Then look for Aviator and other items you can add to or even change. Have fun and if you need more help anyone here can help you.

    Good. I hope you changed both the injectors. For peace of mind.

    I would have also changed the pressure regulator ifin it was me. Again, just for peace of mind and since you had it all apart.

    Somtin to think about. :)

    One thing I have always found on BT is these guys are great for helping you spend money wisely, yes doing both cost more but in the long could save you!
    You only have 2 cylinders so it's best to keep everything equal.
