LowRider S and Power Vision
Yesterday my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I have experienced rear cylinder deactivation during hot weather so I asked for a Powervision tuner to help with cooling. I ordered one from Fuelmoto (Thanks!) and am wondering what else their canned tune will do for a totally stock bike. I know it'll help if I change the exhaust, which I may do in the future, but what about a stock bike that runs good?

I used the Dynojet "stock improved" tune for my new Road Glide with nothing but an air cleaner and it runs better with a little more pep. Once I put a pipe on, I'll get a proper fuelmoto tune for better improvement. For now, good enough to know I'm not burning it up with the overly lean stock tune.

I don't know about on a Lowrider S, I'd just read of a few bikes that warped their heads by overheating. I believe those did a lot of idling though. My bike does get hot while in traffic so I figured it couldn't hurt.

I have a Powervision pro for my fxdls. Before I bought my fat cat I did the stock upgrade tune. Maybe it was all in my head but I felt more pep. With my fatcat, I had to run autotune and have them modify it for decel popping and the bike feels slower than it did stock, not a big deal now cause I'm doin the 117 kit but at that point I will pay for the dyno tune. I too am worried about overheating and am curious to learn more about the rear cylinder deactivation.

I was riding through a local park and had been stopping here and there for pics without shutting the bike off. Didn't go more than 30 mph or stop for more than 2 minutes and after about 10-15 minutes of this the rear cylinder shut down during a pic. I don't do that anymore. Didn't hurt anything though. I'd hate to get rid of the cat as the bike doesn't stink like my older rejetted sporty did.
