Stalling - Engine Wind-out Required

[scooter]

Hello all, new 2008 Rocket III owner. Drove it to the DMV all good. 5 miles. Return trip, power loss.

Could only make it back by "winding it out" and pinching the clutch. Now she won't run unless it is being over revved.

bought this from another owner, it had some old gas which has been drained and replaced. Still not getting any power.

Took it to a dealer, wanted to do a several hundred dollar pressure test. This was after the gas had been swapped and "allegedly" a new fuel pump was put in.

Any ideas on what my next step could be to get this running. I have tried the poor mans version of putting injection cleaner in the fuel tank. Ran it for about 5 mins, winding out the engine. Still no luck. No power.

Suggestions welcomed.

If it had bad gas in it you'll need to pull the injectors and clean them individually. I had that happen to my 05 Rocket III and once everything is clean had to reflash the ECU with a stock tune to restore the injection to normal. The problem is the system has adapted injection mapping to the bad gas.

super helpful and that makes total sense. Not sure whey the dealership didn't head down that route and wanted to do a pressure test. After doing the fuel pump
