Evening guys and ladies,
I recently purchased a 2011 Wide Glide with about 6,500 miles. It has Vance and Hines Short Shots and a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather. I have put about 1,000 miles on it in the last few weeks, and twice it has "hiccuped." I'll be riding along, 50 - 55 mph, and I'll here a "hiss" come out of the breather, and the engine will completely lose power for about a second, and then will return to normal.
Not sure what tune it has. Looked at it last night, and didn't see any onboard tuners or any Fuelpaks. Seems as if maybe there's not even a tune on it? Certainly a dealership wouldn't resell a bike with those upgrades without seeing if there's a tube. Or maybe I'm just naive!
What should I expect to pay for a dealer tune? Or would a tuner work? Definitely looking for more reliability than having it tuned to get the last .01 lb of torque out of it.
