    Default 2008 Spyder poor performance

    my Spyder has been running great, except now when it warms up, it seems to be missing /hesitating, if I stay in a lower gear. when i come to a stop it seems to hesitate on acceleration
    its a 990 semi automatic, I have replaced the fuel filter, change oil as required, the issue reminds me of leaking intake manifold gaskets on an air cooled V twin, but it doesn't start acting up until the motor heats up to operating temperature, but the symptoms are reversed.
    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

    Default WELL - MAYBE

    Do to the age .... it could be the VACUUM hoses , they develop micro cracks that are almost invisible ....re-place with Silicone ones of the same size.......OR the plug wires are very fragile and don't age well either re-place with some from BAJARON they will last forever...... Check the hoses first .......Mike

    Pinch off the purge line at the valve and take it for a ride.

    with Mike...
    Could it be those original Sparkplug wires?
    Contact BajaRon, and get yourself a set of wires that is worthy of your ride!
