Hi guys and girls, I want to introduce myself. My name is Boomer and i am new to this forum. i'm 23 years old and i just purchased my first Harley. It's and 87 sportster 1100. i absolutely love riding it and truly am hooked. i appreciate any advice anyone is willing to give to me and i hope to learn from this forum.
So, down to brass tax, i was riding my bike and everything has been running fine with no problems what so ever, i rode it to work on thursday and it ran like a dream, it rained all day so i left the bike at the shop and came back to get it friday. it started fine no problems, got on rode it to the end of the driveway, turned on to the main road, when i got on it out of the drive way at about 200 feet it lost power, then picked up then lost power it did this over and over again, i stopped on the side of the road 2 or three times, finally i limped it home the rest of the way but it most definitely didn't run well or right. now i bought this bike about a month ago from a guy, i don't know what his maintenance was like on the bike before so im starting with a bit of a clean slate.
thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated.
