Engine problem?

You know Harley did program a miss in the early efi bikes just to make them idle like a Harley I wonder if that's what he's talking about?

Yes! With the dual fire system on the rigidmounts both cylinders fire at the same time with one being a wasted spark. It doesn't matter which sparkplug wire goes on which plug.

Good idea!

Sticking valve? What do the plugs LOOK like? How do the exhaust pulses compare?

Blown exhaust gasket ? I am missing something. Are you saying it has always sounded like this. And you are saying other sportsters sound the same ? I am missing something. Can you post a video with some sound ?
