Default RE: question for all fi bikes

When warm my ’06 Ultra is just under 1,000. I’m pretty sure I read in the book that it will idle at 1,200 for a while and then drop down between 950 and 1,000.

I read where someone installed a 203 cam, does yours run rough at idle? Mine shakes me worse than an old shovel!

I just had a PCIIIUSB installed and checked the idle. Started out around 1150-1200 then settled down to about 1000 rpm's.

Depends on when it is popping, and who set the FuelPak up......

Lean Pop is the most common.....

On decel, you will hear a pop or crack out of the exhaust.....

If your bike is Rich, it will be belching Black soot out of the pipes....

If your bike is too lean, you will burn your valves and pistons...

Too rich and you are washing the lubrication off of the cylinder walls, sooting up the plugs (Adding Resistance), over-contaminating the oil, and wasting $$$$$$
