Back Fires and vapor lock make for an interesting ride

Dick Fitz said 2008-05-27 00:56

Help... I have a 2003 1200 XL and the bike just started acting up, I have ~7500 m on it. On a cold start after 5 - 7 miles I get back fires and then the bike stalls. When I attempt a restart it just churns. If I wait about 15 min it starts right up and will run fine for the rest of the ride... Any body else with this problem?? Any suggestions for a cure??
