Purchased a very clean, one owner, 08 Uly w/10k miles on it last week in St Louis (I live in Atlanta). 200 miles out of St Louis, at 70mph, the engine sputtered, backfired, then died. After several restart attempts it finally started but the idle soared to 2k+ before dying again. Could not keep it running after that. Got towed 75 miles. Abernathy HD diagnosed the problem as corroded plug wires. No wires in stock so, replaced plugs, cleaned wire ends and sent me on my way. 200 miles later...same thing again! Got towed to Murfreesboro, TN but too late on Sat to work on bike so I decided to get towed home to Atlanta, 235 miles. Once home I replaced the spark plug wires then rode for 1 hour before the same thing happened again. Engine code is for the idle motor but Abernathy HD checked it and said that was not the problem, rather the motor was reacting to a continuous misfire and the ecm was attempting to keep the engine running (the reason for the high idle). Anyway, anybody have any ideas about what might be causing this problem? Previous owner states that he has never had problems with the running of the bike before. Mods are: K&N, Jardine & EBECM programmed for these 2 items. Thanks for any help on this.
