But definitely throw the FuelPak away. You don't need it and its garbage. If at some point you do need an actual tuner get a Dynojet or a Thundermax.that's all I'm really seeing too. The FP1, pipes, and air is just the standard Stage 1 they were selling in 2010 I'd imagine.
Major help. I should have listened from the start, but I learned quite a bit.
yea, its unplugged on the shop floor.

They're not cheap, but they work. The dealer here has a separate "Speed Shop" on site because Harley voids warranties on new bikes with a tuner. He still chargers about $500 for dyno pulls and a tune. If you have a friend with a Dynojet you can buy a license and use his to tune your bike. I don't know a lot about those Rally tuners, seems sus that they do it for that cheap, but maybe its a volume deal and a lot of canned tunes at the ready.
yea, that's how I understand they work. I've been once and the wait was hours. Few guys I know had it done and they couldn't be happier.
Definitely spend it elsewhere. If you're not jugging it or adding cams you really don't need a tuner.
Ohlins is on the list.
Don't do this. Most dealers and those guys at bike week just make one or two Dyno pulls, flash it and call it done,and you don't get a proper tune or your money's worth. Take it to someone who will spend all day with it on the Dyno getting it perfect.
yea, I may go that route. who knows. I'm not there yet. only reason I was going to do the tune was for the air and exhaust work. but if I can get way without it, I'll just run it. I don't want to screw anything up is the thing though.
And you pay accordingly
guy tried selling me one. It was like $280 then I needed a special charger? Went with the standard OEM.
Yea, I over think everything. Its a habit of mine.
Ohlins are nice, but I can't feel the difference between them and Fox. My wallet can though.
I've got Ohlins on the GSXF. That thing floats. Smoothest bike I've owned. I don't feel a thing cruising over frost heaves at 70. So I'm sort of bias with it.
Thanks brother, I'm just glad you have the bike up and running. I've seen people waste so much time and money chasing starting issues like that because they refuse to believe that their newly purchased battery is the rot cause. A little tip for anybody with a efi Harley especially with ride by wire, unless it is absolutely necessary try to avoid giving the bike a boost because you have a very good chance of damaging the ecm/throttle actuator.Pukemaggots your red skull is on me. I appreciate man.
yea, the battery barely has 1000 miles on it. maybe two months old. then again, I bought my truck battery from them, and once it got to single digits it would barely start. that's my last battery from them.
The dealer had the Li batteries but that came uncharged. They sold "a certain charger for Lithium batteries" for $60. I thought maybe it was like the LiPo batteries for my r/c stuff. They do require a different charging system I think. I passed though. I was looking at almost $400 for the battery and charger, then the starter clutch on top of that, and I had just gassed my truck up on my way over for $120.
A few italian bikes over the years have exhibited strange behavior when put on lithium. Immobilizer issues etc. Back to lead acid and they behave. YMMV...
The batteries come charged, but the lithium batteries go into hibernation mode when not used for a certain periods of time, and yes lithium batteries require a special charger to wake them up or charge them when discharged.
