I need some tuning help . . . So I installed my Gen 3.5, and ran it for about a week with a stock replacement K&N and the stock plastic backplate opened up for additional airflow. So far so good . . . The bike certainly ran cooler, no decel pop, no hesitation . . . very nice.
Just this last Sunday I completed my Stage One upgrade. Here are the list of changes:
0) The motorcycle is a 2011 FXDC Super Glide Custom - no engine mods.
1) Dewey's Customs Rammer Air Cleaner + Element. This is a high flow element; I believe similar to the Arlen Ness big sucker?
2) SuperTrapp Internal Disc Series Slip On Mufflers w/16 Discs Installed
3) TFI EJK Gen 3 currently at 'Nominal Stage One' settings as received from the factory.
I took my motorcycle out on the street just after a heavy rain here in San Antonio, TX - Wow! Certainly a lot more power, I was afraid to 'open it up' because of the wet/slick streets . . . so don't have a really good idea on how she runs in all phases. I did notice, however, that she does have a very minor decel pop in what appears to be all gears that I tested - 1-4. Never got into 5th or 6th. The decel pop is barely audible - but I do wear full hemet. Also, it appeared, especially in 1st and 2nd gear - that there was a bit of hesitation - especially when cold. The hesitation seem top become less as the bike warmed up. Also, the engine feels like its running a tad bit hotter than when I had only the modfified stock aircleaner . . and about the same as pre-EJK installation - maybe a bit cooler.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
