2001 flstfi 1450cc w/ 25,000 miles. Was riding home from work when the engine started running rough, coughing and sputtering. I tried nursing it home but it would not even idle without sputtering. I changed spark plugs and fuel filter but that didn't fix it. I've owned this bike since new and this is the first time it's ever givin me any trouble. Any ideas?

Thanks

Check for codes. Check for intake leaks.
Did the plugs look normal when you took them out?

Has the bike cooled down and how does it run cold?
