RE: WOW! DFO & Big Sucker
Well, it will still help, as you are able to tune your bike more for power/performance, rather than economy and emmissions, which what your bike has now. Most of us are messing with the tuning for the power. If the bike has enough power for you now, as-is, then just leave well enough alone. I like a more performance oriented motor, hence, modifying the EFI, etc.

I'm pretty much a newbie too. A DFO doesn't really do anything for you if you still have stock pipes, does it?

RE: WOW! DFO & Big Sucker
I have been running the TFI unit for a little over a year. I have D&D tuned headers and a big sucker air cleaner along with the stage one download. It does make a difference especially during acceleration and above 4000 RPM's. Also fuel mileage went from 49mpg bone stock to 45mpg with stage one download to 39mpg with TFI. So I installed a switch so I could turn it on for performance and off for economy.

Shoptroll - do the setup instructions go as far as specific pipes and a/c or just generically? I assume these are just starting points to keep from having to start from scratch, right?
Also, where did you mount the unit? Under the seat or somewhere else?
Thanks,
Doug

RE: WOW! DFO & Big Sucker
It just lists settings for stock and stage 1. You have to fine tune it from there to whatever your personal preferences are. Imay start another post to see if I can get everybody that's using one to list the performance mods that they're using and what settings they ended up with.

Thanks - did you mount it under the seat in that little area ahead of the battery?
