i have a 09 cityx. 2,300 miles, i been ridding fine all last week, and the bike sat for the weekend. i started it this morrning to go to work and it took 2 trys to start and once started it ran for like 30 sec then stalled out. then i restarted and had to blip the throttle a few times to keep it going. then it ran fine. on the way to work it hesitated a little but cleared out. and on the decell slowing down it popped a lot louder and more pronounced than before. i did a tps reset before i rode but after the hard starting. what would be some things i need to look for if it continues. the bike is stock |

Fouled plug from the stall would be my first guess. |

Blipping the throttle while the bike is cold is not a good idea. |

Yeah, sounds fouled. Go out and ride the snot out of it, do some high rpm stuff, see if it clears up. May have to reset the AFV. |

thanks i am about to head home and i will get on it. i cant imagine why a plug would go with so low millage. the afv is that something i can do like the tps reset or does the dealer have to do it. i wonder if i bring it in will the warranty cover it. unless they dont find anything then they charge me for wasting their time |

If they are a good dealer, and it is under warranty, then they may be willing to look at it for no charge. |

Gotta love that the solution to our most common problem is to rod on the bike for a few minutes. ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

i rode home today and romped on it with rpms around 4 to 5 grand and let it get low then get it hard up to 6 1/2 a few times. it rode normal again. it even started fine after sitting all day at work. ill keep a eye on it and if it does it again i will go to talk with dealer |

The iridium plugs have been good to me so far even though I almost always mistreat it when I start it. |

I'm not 100% sure it's the same on the newer models, but on my '03, you reset the AFV by riding at 3000 rpm for 30 seconds in 3rd gear. Works. I go up and down a lot of mountains here and so it gets out of whack and will start backfiring on me until I reset it. |
