Need Help Seeking Knowledgeable Tuner From Iowa/Illinois
I'll spare ya the long story but the problem with my 15 Limited has turned into a fight between my dealer's service department and Vance and Hines. I have a FP3 and dealer says it's the tuner and V&H says it's something else. Dealer wants to put a SERT on it with no guarantee that the problem will be resolved. Consequently, I'd be on the hook for about $500 because it marries to the VIN (as does the FP3). Anyway, I need someone who knows WTF they're doing and talking about between central Iowa and central Illinois. I'm on the border between the two states and am willing to go half way across either to get this resolved. Thanks,
Mike

I, for one, would like to hear the long story. I have an FP3 and if the dealer is saying the FP3 caused an issue that they won't cover under warranty, I'll bet there are a lot of FP3 owners who would like to know hear the long story, too.

It's not a warranty issue so much as it's they can't get it running correctly. I have a post on here with a Youtube video I took showing the problem. I can post the long version in a few hours when I get back if you want to have something to read before bed Usually I go into TOO much detail and ramble on....but it's free therapy for me.

EITMS is disabled, the O2 sensors are in the correct locations, no exhaust or intake leaks. I metered the plug wire on the rear cylinder and it was within spec according to the service manual...along with countless FP3 adjustments with Chris Neely. Thanks for listening to my story and maybe someone can shed some light on the issue

I know it would be a pain in the ***, but did the dealer ever suggest putting the bike back to stock? Chances are, even if you did put it back to stock and doing so didn't change anything, they'd claim the engine was damaged due to the aftermarket head pipes, mufflers and FP3. I think you're between a rock and a hard place. I feel for ya, dude. I wish you the best.

Definitely something to consider. I'd hate to pull it out of the dealer and take it up to Fuelmoto only to have them tell me it wasn't tuner related...which would be my luck. If I can get it nailed down 100% that it's in the tuning that could be the answer
