A likely cause may be that the enricher knob has been left in a pulled out position or not pushed back in all the way and the engine is now running too rich. I had this happen years ago with a carbed Sporty and it only took a couple of times for me to realize that once the engine was warmed up, the enricher knob should be pushed all the way in for the bike to run properly from there on. There are many other reasons this could be happening but that is the first thing to check for IMHO............

How do you charge a battery on a 2006 harley-davidson sportster 1200 custom?

the bike should be equiped with a battery tender attachment hidden just under the lower left hand side of the gas tank. once you find it just hook up the battery charger with the battery charger attachment and your ready to go. Otherwise you can purchase a battery charger with tender attachment at Sears for $19.95 and hook up the battery tender to the battery yourself if it didn't already come with one. I have a 2006 883 and just found it two days ago, it came with it.

Where do you add primary oil in a 2001 sportster 1200?

Make sure the bike is completely upright. Once you have drained the old primary fluid and cleaned off the magnetic plug, re-insert the plug. Pop off the derby cover and add the new primary fluid through this hole. It's tough to do without a funnel due to the angle but I've been able to do it before.

Where to put the oil in on a 2002 sportster?

A Sportster has two oil reservoirs: the engine oil box is just under your seat. That big silver cap that gets really hot against your right thigh while riding? There. The second oil reservoir is the Primary/Transmission oil. Once you've removed the old oil, you pour one quart of Sport-Trans into the primary case in the opening left by removing the derby cover. Consult your Service Manual for your machine; it is worth the fifty dollar investment.

Where is the oil drain plug on a 2006 Harley Davidson Sportster?

If you look under the motor on the 2006 HD Sportster you will find a hose with a plug and hose clamp. Loosen the clamp, the gently pull on the plug (there is a place where you can grab it), then drain the oil out. Make sure that you take the oil tank cap off to allow the oil to flow easily. When you put the plug and cap back on and fill the oil tank, make sure that you remove any air in the hose with the plug. Once filled, take the plug and slightly allow just a little bit of oil to flow out, then re-tighten the hose clamp and you're done.
