[QUOTE="Brad to the BONE, post: 1442495, member: 92908"] Have an 04'. I have had 2 problems over the years which caused "sputtering" or rough or barely running conditions. 1) Bike was running fine. Suddenly it was stricken with a bad miss and intermittent stumbles. As I rode it home in the dark, (hoping I would make it), I noticed a light show down inside the fairing. Closer inspection showed the plug wire arcing across to the head. New plug wires. FIXED! 2) Riding down the road. I think in my head "MAN, this bikes just runs so SWEET"! 10 miles later, it is barely running, and I limp home. 4 days from a cross country trip.... A trip thru the forum got me a guy who said, "Check the big white connector, just behind the steering stem, in front/on top of the valve cover." cleaned it up and applied some magic contact cleaner. BINGO! FIXED! (Have since done this to every connector I could find on this 90K bike). Brad [/QUOTE]
