Default Installed FP3

Finally installed the FP3 today. No problems at all. Took away the decel pop and the FLHXS is a little more responsive. I can really tell that the bike runs smoother in all the power bands. So far so good..

I have the SERT street tuner. Its my understanding I can not use another device since the SERT is married to my Delphi system? True or false? I like the features of the FP3.

False, the SERT being married to you bike means it can't be used on another bike. The FP3 will overwrite (flash) whatever settings were configured by the SERT. Also, the SERT is a more robust method of tuning. Currently the V&H FP3 has no maps for bikes with upgraded cams.

Thanks you Aviscomi,
Its the street version and not pro...no plans at the present to do anything more. I have had numerous bikes over the years and some very modified. The 2014 SG with the de-catted head pipe, Street Cannons and A/C actually runs fairly strong coupled to the street SERT.

Thanks, but I traded it in on a 2014 Limited...LOL! I've owned 4 SGs in the past and traded in my 2013 SG on the Low Rider; but I just couldn't get comfortable with it.

After installing the FP3, What has happened to gas mileage? I know you can't make more power without using more fuel, but wonder what your results are.

For me, fuel mileage and quiet are two of the most important features of the Rush'...but I'm not against adding a bit more poop either...

Not necessarily, a good tune will not drop your fuel mileage that much, it will some but....
