Default Running Lean and Hot!!!

I just bought 2011 FXDC custom. It has V&H Sideshots and stock hd air cleaner. As I rode couple of miles, it is not smooth at all on acceleration, lack power. and plugs are white, which indicates leaner mix.
Problem is we have no tuner in region. Can it be possible to solve problem in this situation?

Since you have no tuner around can you get a power vision delivered to your country?

Get rid of the Sideshots exhaust to start with. Its the worst possible type of exhaust for anything other than making noise.

Look at this post. The user Barnoff is also from Tbilisi, Georgia with the same model bike and has / had a similiar issue. You might be able to PM each other and share some local knowledge. Just a thought.

He's the same guy.

Dynojet has a distributor listed in Istanbul Turkey on their website: https://www.dynojet.com/distributors

For the record, I have never been to Tbilisi, Georgia and I know nothing about the deadman missing a shoe, scar under right ear, behind the bar on Zigzagi ST. near the police station.

With that being said, are you able to post a picture of your bike, would like to see what it looks like with some scene of Tbilisi in the background, if it's not running a picture of it sitting as is will do
