    here are a few things to check,,,oil, oil pressure,overheating,if it has an O2 sensor it may be bad. also, a service manual is your best friend when trying to trouble shoot problems. hope this helps a bit,let us know.....

    check engine light

    In regards to checking for light/icon coming on&off at times;I would first get a
    H-D service manual.Some models have a diagnostic connector which enables
    you to retreive codes by using a jumper wire& counting icon flashes on your
    gauge.Is there any Warranty coverage remaining???.When does the light come
    on:cold,warm-up,operating temp.,accelerating,decelerating,cruise,coasting...???.
    The service manual from H-D may contain info you'll never use;but may also
    provide info you never thought you would be asking about.The PARTS supplement also provides excellent pictorials for the placement of multiple
    parts in the same area.GOOD LUCK!!!
