Tuner for 1996 Road King injection
I am having some backfiring (decel) and idle settings problems with my 1996 RK injection. Have fitted Rinehart exhausts and plan to fit a stage 1 breather once I can find a tuner to sort out the problems.
I know the 1996 is a bit of an oddball and finding a tuner that works is hard.
Anyone, have any experience of fitting a tuner to this year/model. Was looking at the Dobeck Gen 3 or the more expensive Cobra Fi2000 powrpro..???
Living out here in Thailand, no chance of finding a local dyno or tuning service, so I need something that is easy to install.

I have an injected 98 RK, so I feel your pain. My bike runs great right now, but I too have a bit of a decel pop issue and a somewhat erratic idle (usually fine, sometimes low). At some point soon, I will be doing a carb conversion--might be something worth looking into for you, especially add your resources are so limited there. Might be easier than trying to chase your tail with an aftermarket tuner.

My knowledge of years/models isn't great and the registration book is all in Thai. I believe it's a 96 FLHRI, but will check the Vin number when I get back from work next month.

If you have a few hand tools and know righty tighty lefty loosey you can do it yourself.

Actually, this idea would probably work out cheaper than sending the bike down to the HD main dealership in Bangkok..lol
Just fill your suitcases with all the spare parts needed.
