Hey folks!
I bought a 2018 RE Classic Chrome a few weeks ago and decided to take it out for a quick ride yesterday despite it being very cold (like 40?) for riding.
So I let the bike warm up on the center stand for something like 5-10 minutes as I got ready, and rolled out easy onto the road. But when I turned on to the local highway (not interstate, like a 55-65mph highway) and tried to get up to speed the engine, uh, resisted the notion.
Basically it felt like if I rolled on the throttle too hard the engine would sputter and threaten to die. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior (All my previous bikes have been sporty so I might be riding wrong) or if I should consider further troubleshooting to sort out a problem.
After I was riding for a few minutes I noticed that if I slowly roll up the throttle (very slowly) it doesn't seem to hit the same problem. But if I roll too hard, it consistently happens.
Any thoughts? Do I need to just adjust my riding habits?
