I just bought a new 2005 Honda 1300 VTX R last Thursday. I´ve put about a 100 mile on it. Yesterday, it started missing, sputtering even though I had started it with the choke out and let it warm up for approx. 5 min. Today I rode it 7 mi. to work after I had let it warm up for 10 min. It bucked and sputtered the whole way. Of course the dealer is closed today (Monday). I´m hoping that I´m not doing any harm to it by riding it home.
Oh dear, what could the matter be? It didn´t run like this the first few days . Of course it´s under warranty, but it is very disheartening. This is my third new Honda and I´ve never had one act like this before.
