Fuelpak users --- please help
I finished up the pain in the *** install of the fuelpak on my bike. When I printed the map out from their website, it shows a value for "mode 23". If you're a fuelpak user (and have programmed yours) you know what that is. For the rest of the modes up to 35, it has N/A for my setup. Everything works fine for programming it but when I get to mode 22, and try to go to the next mode, it goes back to mode 1. I can't get to mode 23 and I need to input a value. What I am afraid of is that I have an older version of the fuelpak, can anybody help with this? Guess I won't be riding today.

I think I found my own answer, the version of this thing is 11, so I have to take the damn thing back off the bike now, and send it in to get upgraded to version 12 of the software for $30. Can anybody comment on doing this before, is it pretty straight forward and how long does it take? Dammit am I disgusted right now. If I owned a video camera I'd make a video of me smashing it.

It says something to that effect on their website on the FAQ, if the numbers don't go high enough to program what you need you can call to get a shipping address, and send it in along with $29.95 and they will "upgrade" it to version 12 of the software so it has the additional modes. I'm guessing this is what I'm dealing with here. Man what shitty luck, had I tried this first before installing my pipes and AC I could have removed it and still rode in the mean time, now the bike just has to sit there. This sounds like nothing more than a money making ploy from V&H. This pisses me off.

I'm not going to argue the point of "money-making scheme". They (V&H) have always been very tight-lipped about the settings within the FP. I think that's one reason I would never own it.

Cover half of your air filter with duct tape and ride. It will run OK short of the decel pops.

There are some old fuelpacks out there. Thats why I bought mine from the Harley Dealer in hopes of getting a newer version which I did. I would send it in for upgrade as the old style doesnt have nearly the adjustability of the new ones. The higher modes are needed on many setups on my bike.
