Greatings one & all-
A coworker referred me to this forum to assist with an issue I'm having. I have an 07 FLSTF (Fatboy), owned since new. After about 2 years and less than 10K, it began intermittently stalling when the engine was running hot and moderate RPMs. Often when the stall is predicated by the high idle kicking in and causing the engine to scream at idle. If the motor does stall or I shut it off, the subsequent start will be very rough with back fires and strong fuel odor.
The dealer said it was a loose ground wire and replaced it, then tried a crank sensor. No changes. The other 98% of the time the bike runs great.
Hope to hear from you all with some ideas, thanks in advance.
