I will say it again, my harley sounded like a large pocorn maker (or a metric cruiser with a sh*tty exhaust system) and I was embarrased to say the least.

The fact of the matter is that parade mode does shut the injector to the rear cylinder off, so no fuel is being injected into the cylinder. It just doesn't make sense to think that the ecm would shut down the spark and allow raw fuel to continue through the cylinder and on to the exhaust. That would mean raw fuel in the exhaust which would explode when the ignition came back on. We used to do that with cars...kill the ignition momentarily and then turn it back on. The result was a loud bang, and if done enough, would destroy the muffler. So much mis-information on this. The dealer has to enable the parade mode which then allows the rider to turn the function on or off by rolling the throttle back and holding it for a few seconds until the cruise light turned either green or red.

I can see all that unburnt fuel in the chamber,ports,and exhaust now and find it hard to believe I didnt catch on.

If you go to Harley Davidson's website and look under the "owners" tab you'll find digital manuals for most bikes in their lineup. It helps with questions like this.
