Default 2017 fxdls setup
Hi all, i just bought a 17 fxdls and wanted opinions about which setup would be the best for me. I just changed my stock exhaust for a bassani road rage 2/1 and i noticed a few backfires when i downshift in too high revs. First of all i got a picture of my spark plug to know if i can still run it like this or i must either take it to the dealer so they can set ot up for me or buy a fuel pack or any other ones.

I dont ride a lot, 2000km per year and i dont plan into changing any engine parts ot any other upgrades.

thanks

Running way too lean. Pick up a tuner to give it the fuel it needs. FuelPak 3 or PowerVision is your best choice.

Go with FP3 very simple to install and probably the cheapest way to get the best out of your stage 1.
got same exhaust and FP3 and absolutely no decel pop at all

An FP3 will sort it
Well worth the investment

Have all you guys with the fp3 on your LRS use auto tune or just a canned map?

Just use a canned map to the set up of the bike (pipes, filter, etc). Works very well.
im not fussed by the auto tune process personally, but you could give it a try.
