Stalling and misfiring 03 FLSTFI

Last year my stock Fat Boy started missfiring occassionally. Then it starting cutting out in the curves. Took it in and after considerable nut scratching my dealership says I had a pin hole leak in the fuel line from the tank to my injectors. Only a $10 part. Seemed to fix it except never starts first fire anymore. Have ridden 5000 + miles since and just started doing it again. Quit running coming off the interstate and just misfires occassionally. Thoughts?

I've read that they have a bank angle sensor that's supposed to kill the engine if the bike falls over. Apparently the bracket it mounts on is a bit flimsy and it can break leaving the sensor dangling on the wires thus causing the engine to run erratically on bumps/corners etc. Might be worth checking.

Could be a few things. Throttle position sensor is getting "noisy" from wear and loses its calibration with the map. Also, if you don't wait for the IAC to set itself when you start you can throw the ECU off. Bad connection at the injectors..................... blah blah.
