     Hi Guys....

    I have a 2007 Street Bob... 70K on the dial and have TTS. Also had the fuel filter changed after 40K. Last service at around 1K ago.

    Last light on the way home and again this morning every time I gave the throttle a quick twist, even for just a 1/4 to half turn it dies. The engine light does not illuminate and there are no engine codes.

    The only thing I have done different is I ran Shell for the last refill and just filled again with BP and put in 15L (18L tank) so it's not a lack of fuel. 

    If I don't crack the throttle it runs ok.

    Any thoughts as I don't want issues on the ride on Sunday :|

    Thanks.....

    could be few things a blocked in jector from shit shell or maybe a sensor has decided to die a slow death
    if it idles ok an when ya give it a quik twist n dies sounds like lack of fuel maybe injector bit blocked an cant get enough fuel out for when ya rev it just a thought easy enough to take em out an get em cleaned have had em bloked after 30k

    shell has the highest ICI additive an will cause more carbon build up on valves ect lowest is caltex an the bp usein premium also makes your bike run hotter yes it gets beetter milage an also burns cleaner but has more shit in it ..even in 10to 1 motors with cams ect i used normal unleaded NOT E10 lol and never had problems if you tune a motor to certain octanes its ok but once you change octane then you get probs .a mate runs normal unleaded in his twinkie and gets great fuel ecomony an keeps up with the best of em spose its like havin a smaoke lol smoke high miligrams an then swap to a low tastes like shit hey
