Hello new member here. Own a 2008 VStar 1300 with 6k miles. This past week I am having an issue with really bad bucking and rough riding when rolling on the throttle especially in first and second gear at low speeds. Also when I start to bike up it is running rough and sounds like it is about to lose power and stall out and then will kind of rev up again with the RPMs to a steadier idle and just repeat doing that even once it's warmed up. I can't pinpoint exactly when this happened but I'm wondering if I got a bad tank of gas somehow. I added some fuel cleaner into the tank and went out for a ride yesterday and it seems like it had improved especially once I got up to my speeds but when I got back into my neighborhood, all of the bucking and hesitating started over again. It feels awful. Any ideas would be really appreciated!
