Default Backfiring/hesitating in 03 Intruder 800
Folks,

Having an odd issue with my relatively new Intruder. I have a slow patch in my morning commute where I have to drive a sustained 30 MPH or so (no room to pass!) When I do this for a few minutes, the engine will start to ... well ... burp or stumble or hesitate -- describe it as you wish. It's like I dropped the throttle suddenly. It happens every 20-30 seconds or so until I get up to a higher speed or drop down a gear.

Is this a sign I need a tune-up, or is there an adjustment I need to do?

Thanks!

--Mike
