Acceleration Issues - Page 2

Hey Guys,

I'm on the verge of tears! For the the last week, every time I ride my 2003 1500 Nomad FI, I noticed the acceleration is TERRIBLE. It seems as if the bike takes forever to warm up, even after just riding it an hour earlier. The acceleration only slightly picks up after riding for 20 min. And trust me, I know the Nomads are slow as hell, but this is different. I'll be trying to pull out into the street and I'll "redline" in first gear and be creeping along. I have no idea what the issue could be:
Fuel injection? It has recently gotten hotter and humid (here in Indiana) and maybe its running too rich? Clutch problems?

Thanks for the help guys!
