'05 Superchicken Hesitating when it's Hot outside!
So, the last 2 times it's been about 30+ Celsius outside and I have been in stop and go traffic for a few minutes my Superhawk REALLY hesitates when I crack the throttle, the first time it happened I thought it was the clutch slipping, but this week when it happened again I knew it definitely wasn't the clutch slipping. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this? I've had the bike for 3 years now and I've never ran into this issue before, and like I said it's only when it's really hot outside. Thanks!

mine sputters and stalls when its hot. apparantly its normal for the v twins to act like that when its real hot out. runs great in regular temps but once i was seeing over 30 outside especially in stop and go situations she hated it

1. What altitude do you live at?
2. Do you do you own maintenance and have you kept up with it?
3. When was the last time you had you carbs synced?
Try going into the same situation where you are having the problem but with the choke pulled out half way. If it gets better or worse this will tell you if you are running rich or lean.
