RE: Sweet! I've Got A Flamethrower!
Hi fl_799, I too installed TFI on on my [wifes]Streetbob factory download the bike run good but could not elimate backfire on decell. I have had a SERT and was going to wait to put up some KLM before using. The Dyna's for Australia are not equipped with 02 sensors so I started with a map for a 2006 softail. I retarded the spark and made front & rear cylinders equal [no offset] lowered the idel to 904 RPM. Went for a 600 KLM ride yesterday and fuel milage was 21 KLM/LT,which converts to 52+ miles per gal [imperial gal]. I am totaly happy with the way this bike is running. With the SERT you can change all or only what need to de done.

FL_799,
I took some of your recommendations, fiddled with them and came up with this:
3, 2.5, 1, 6
Ran great at lower RPMS (smooth and no surges) and I didn't get a flame out my a$$ this time. Lower than 3 on the first setting still had the bike inconsistent at lower RPMs.

I had a similar thing happen about 15 years ago. My buddies and I were drinking large quantities of alcohol (and probably smoking something funny) and we had heard that human flatulence was flammable. So my buddy (who was known for his excessive gas) layed on his back and lifted his legs up in the air. I grabbed a lighter and held it up to his ***...I was staring at it like a doctor waiting for a baby to come out. Next thing I know, he ripped it, and the biggest blue flame you ever saw came shooting out straight towards my face. I lost my eyebrows during this incident...which kinda sucked...but it was worse for my friend...who was forever known from then on as dragon ***!

Todd: Good try on hijacking this thread with the flaming *** thing......but seems these guys are on to it and kept talking about the bike problem topic. I'm going to the oil forum.........you can post anything there.

Sounds like you found your sweet spot. If fuel economy goes in the gargage, just tweek cruise/green down .5-1 and you are all set! You could put the third/red setting to 0 and still get more then enough fuel for WOT operation. For peak HP and torque, we actually have to slightly lean out/take away fuel at WOT (w/ SERT) on these bikes; just a safety net HD builds into the maps even with the EPA breathing down their necks. I bet your bike is running like a champ just as it sits. Now it's down to fine tuning efficiency and fuel economy compromise if it needs it at all.

UPDATED INFORMATION...
Okay, I've done some more tweaking of my DFO on top of my Stage 1 Download. I have about 40 miles on this current setup and am now asking to get you wrench types to give me some feedback on my plugs.
What do you think? (pertinent details embedded in photo)

RE: UPDATED INFORMATION...
I had boosted the 2nd and 3rd setting for this experiment. I'll kick them back down a bit and that should get me in the ballpark. The DFO guy recommended 4, 2.5, 2.5, 4. It seems he may have been right on the money for the middle two settings. I'm going to shoot for the following:
3, 2.5, 2, 8.
I don't think I've ever gone wide open throttle, however, I do get on it every once in a while. I couldn't call myself a biker if I didn't.
