The 84 AspencadeI picked up recently is very sluggishat highway speeds. My last bike was an 80 FLT Tour Glidethat seemed like it hadmuch more power.Ihad the FLT in Ohio butlive in the mountains at 5000ft el. now. She seems to start fine every day, no hesitation. I'vejust started using the sea-foam (140 miles) and it has shown some improvement. It has 107,000 miles on her, but doesn't smoke any! The last tank of gas, I got 28 mpg in the mountains with my wife aboard.It doesn'tsound like it'smissing. I can be doing 65 in OD, and will have to d/s to 4th to keep any speed up going up any inclines. I can even lose speed going up inclines in 4th when I'm cruising at 55!!You'd think just cracking the throttle would be enough, but I can full throttle and lose speed. Is it the bike or am I expecting too much? I'll run a few more tanks of sea-foam mix through herandsee ifit helps.
