Hey all,
So I went on a ride yesteday on my CVO Ultra, it's an 07 that has already has the engine fix done to it. Everything was fine up until the way back, and about 200 miles from home. I had about 3/4 tank and I topped it off where I had previously fueled up on the way up. I made it about 30 miles down the road, and realized that I was losing all my low end power. By that I mean that if I let the rpm's drop below 3k, it would just sputter out and have no go period. From 3k to 4k rpm it sputtered but was able to get up to tolerable speeds. It was all down hill from where I was at, so it wasn't to bad aside from the fact that I had to run the motor alot harder than i prefer to do. I could never put it into overdrive because the rpm's were just to low for the motor. A riding buddy I had gave me his Sea Foam, it's an additive, I am not sure if it helped me get down the road or not, but I did eventually make it back to town. When I hit stop lights I had to literally throttle to 4k rpm and feather the clutch to get it going down the road. My buddies said it seemed like bad gas, but everyone else fueled where I did, so unless there is something I don't understand about how fuel delivery systems work at fuel stations, I don't think that could be it. It was backfiring the whole way home, and just sounded like crap the whole way. I can't tell you how scary it was because as your going down the curves and the motor just wants to cut out, then it grabs mid turn, it made the bike wobble a lot in turns. Scary. So anyhow, any ideas as to what may have happened? I did remove the air cleaner thinking it was gunked up or whatever, but it was clean as a whistle. The bike is pretty much a stock cvo, 110, 6 speed, all that jazz. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!
