On hot days like over 90 degrees my bike will sputter a little bit at around 3 to 4000 RPM. Is this normal for the RSV? I have had my valves adjusted and still the same thing. Only when it's hot out though. Can anyone help.

Thank you I will begin checking hoses
always - always check all vacuum lines / hoses . With age they harden and crack. But usually this effects idle - let us know you fix it
present
Buell S2 Nallin Stage 3
Last RSVR to a good home
5 past Apes and other rides too numerous to mention
Will do
Do any of the following affect the problem: Throttle position, gear position, road speed, engine load, engine tempOriginally Posted by Wharewolf
Gear position 1st and 2nd at about 3500 to 4100 RPM.
check generator output.

So you are talking about amperage for battery? I Checked hoses and they were not cracked or damaged, all were in place. I have ordered a new better as my bike is going on three years with its original. Thanks every one for the suggestions.
As a first test just the voltage with the engine not running and at idle.

Alright,
Not running I got 11.3 and running when warmed up was 13.5.
that sounds ok. could be a small vacuum leak.

Mine does the same thing. For the record - it's a 2007 that was un-crated last April. Has 3100 miles (5000kms). Leo Vince slip-ons, Map2. I won't have a chance to check on hoses for a while, but I'll keep checking this thread to see if there is any resolve. I'd be surprised if there are bad hoses on a bike that only has 3100 miles. Granted they're 5 yrs old, but they weren't subjected to any engine heat or other abuse until this time last year.
Could not find any hose damage. the weird thing is that it will stop after a while. maybe it has to do with engine temperature. I will keep looking for answer.
Are you saying that this only occurs in 1st and 2nd gear and that engine load, throttle position, and engine temperature have no apparent effect on this issue?
Also rate the stutter on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being "runs perfect" and 10 being "stopped running".
