The plugs were just sooty black and I changed them bc idk why the bike isn’t making powerWhy did you change the plugs? How did the plugs look , dry and yellow/white,soot black? Sooty wet glack.etc.How was the bike before ?
By stumble do you mean not going anywhere? It will crank and drive but not like a 1800 in the slightest bit it’s lost all its powerAre you saying it has power until you crack the throttle and then it stumbles?
1800So, this is an 1800?
Not a 1300?
Very important difference!
it happened going down the roadCheck simple things first, like an animals' nest or food storage inside the air cleaner blocking airflow. They can nest overnight. Happened to my 1100 Shadow years ago. It would start fine, idle fine, but when giving throttle, took forever to get up to highway speeds.
Could it be from a bad exhaust flange? There is liquid all around my rear exhaust
Also I looked into the air intake after starting it there was smoke in there
Would lack of antifreeze make it loose powerThats a leak from coolant. swipe your finger and smell it. Is it antifreeze? If yes you have to check clamp tightness and check all hoses for mini-cracks.
