Well drewpy called me earlier... I spoke to him...

Bike at idle and in neutral = fine
revvin bike in neural = fine
under load = cutting out and not fine

It all started after a po-dunc (sp?) gas fill up.

I tell it how I think...

disconnect the battery to ensure there are no funky codes stored in the ECM

However, my first gut is that with this 8300 mile Buell its a clogged fuel filter. Its nearing its PM time anyway but a dirty fill up would speed up its end. I told Drewpy sense its fuel in the frame to back track it from the throttle body to the frame. There has to be a filter somewhere. Pull it, check it, blow thru it if you must. If clogged, you can't replace (note to others, this is why you replace with a pingle re-useable filter over the paper filter units) the paper buell unit (unless you find an open HD dealer on Sunday which is VERY possible.). Just poke a hole thru the paper element, re-attach and go. But BEWARE that you have no filtration now... and you don't want to clog an injector.

I also reminded him that it takes me 5 mins to pull the Pingle fuel filter or to pull a jet... clean and re-install. "Keep it simple stupid"

He's going to pull the battery tonight and let it sit over night... start on the other main problem in the morning...
