Thats what I hear with mine sinse I baught it. Sometimes it is very short in duration (a couple of seconds) and sometimes it's a little longer, bugs the hell out of me though. Check out the video links in the second post of the thread in the following link. It's normal.

If your choke don't idle the bike up much when it's on, suspect and intake leak. If the engine sputters and pops back through carb way longer than it should when cold, suspect an intake leak. It could be coils though also, Or plugs.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #204008 hoadman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:cold weather problems 2 Years, 8 Months ago   thanks, its a good idea for these bikes, i run a little every third tank (i had the dreded SVS on my 1st RS.) i orderd the stock front coil from the local shop $112 so 3 to 5 days rain or shine we will see if it works. i figurd get the part or pay the shop to guess for an HR or 2.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #204035 slyguy (User) What happens in the garage stays in the garage.

What if its not the coil? then you're out $112. Don't think they'll take it back.   Logged     2004 Road Star Silverado (original owner), over 48K mostly trouble-free miles Patriot Guard Rider, IBA Member, Star Touring & Riding   The administrator has disabled public write access. #205239 hoadman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:cold weather problems 2 Years, 7 Months ago   they told me last night its back ordered, but might be in by july 12 or so. wrong answer. i told them to keep it and orderd a pair of dyna coils and wires on line. $152 deliverd. 4 working days or less. so an upgrade wont hurt. and i can check for leaks when i put them in.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #206451 hoadman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:cold weather problems 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Installed new coils no more fouling on the front cylinder grate! Now I got the dreaded SVS on the back. I suppose it was loading up a bit. well I have seen that movie before so. . . sea foam and an oil change here we go. And back to the stock plugs. Thanks for letting me kick it around a bit and for all the help.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
