Hello all,

I have a 2005 BA with the Triumph OR longs on and it seams that it runs rough...that is at first crack of the throtle it bogs, spits, and clunks before you roll thru the rough spot. With the engin cold it is as smooth as can be in the same spot (provided the choke is on) the bike still has the stock setup with the exception of the pipes...when I asked my dealer for the stock pipes and jets he said that "according to the manufacturer" those pipes could use the stock jets as they offer the same back preasure and that the bike would smooth out once I had some time in the seat (it only has 88 miles on it....come on spring!) also it back fires, just a little tiny "whoomp" when I shut her down...my first thought was (due to the back fireing and the spitting at down shift) that she was to rich....but with the marked improvement while choked maybe too lean.....the last bonnie I had was a 1979 750 with dunstills and a rejet (and no electric start)and the damm thing never ran right, but its been years since I wrenched on a bike, please don't tell me I'm back where I was with the 79...I thought these new trumpets were "bullet proof"
I love the new BA but don't want to spend my time wrenching it I want to RIDE it and leave the wrenching to the cold winter months dreaming about a shopping spree with Brent and adding all that new shiny stuff!
