Stage IV (yawn)
No one ever accused me of being the sharpest tool, but I know what I want and hope to find a happy medium here.
I expected a little more from the Stage IV Kit installed in my 2015 RGS. I am a stickler about the sleeper toys I have and like to keep my new RG looking all stock, here is my idea.
What I have now 103 air cooled
Stage IV
SE Breather
4" Rineharts
Remove the CATS
Woods 888 or 999
TTS
Dyno
I'd like to see (as in feel) a bike that looks all stock but most other bikes cannot keep up :-) Something like 105/105 would be nice but more is always better :-)
Let the ideas, insults but mostly the information flow.

That's what i thought. Jim G's stage 4 is up there.
OP Jim G created a thread about his Stage 4 upgrade. He had it dyno tuned at the dealer and it didn't run that great. He took it to a different tuner and it performed in the range you are looking for.
His bike has a "B" engine and a really fat back tire.... Yours may do a little better.

Yes he had his tuned and that could be the trick, but IF I tank the motor the warranty could be void if they find a the footprint on the ECM.

I believe they put it on a dyno and tuned it but they didn't tune it correctly. Not just a download.
Is yours just a download? If so you need to find a "Competent" dyno tuner and get the power you are missing.

jim g went into great detail. Little long but worth the read for what you are experiencing. How was the 888 at low rpm in that stock 103, or was most of the wow factor from 3000-5000 rpm.

A Dyno is on my list once I am sure I have the cams and exhaust flow right.
