Stage 1 Problem
I have a 2004 Ultra Classic that I just recently installed a set of Wild Pig Slip Ons, a K & N filter and had a local HD dealer do a stage 1 download. Since having the stage 1 download the bike will occasionally hesitate (miss) when taking off from a stop. Since it doesn't do this after every start the dealer doesn't seem to be able to find the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion how to correct this problem.
It pisses me off when you spend a grip of your hard earned money and you are all excited to put it on and sh** like this happens. Had more than my share of this. Hope it all works out for ya. Give the dealer some sh** for me.

if the dealer can't figure it out i'd say that dealer is pretty worthless. what kind of service manager let's a customers bike leave the shop with a diagnosis of "can't figure it out"? i'd be PISSED

Yea it was the $150 download and I agree with taking it back to dealer except the dealer is in Gattlinburg Tn and I am in Florida. I had this done while on a road trip to replace a defective module that was on the bike when I bought it. This was the best option at the time since I was 500 miles from home. I guess my only option now is to take it to a dealer here in Florida and see what they can do.

When the boss lady's RKC was brand new she had the download and it ran poorly and they just made a bunch of excuses. Anyway I installed a Power Commander I happened to have and I did have to dick with changing maps but haven't looked back since.
I have an 07 they did the download and after 20,00 the plugs looked like the were put in the day before so maybe a tad on the leans side but runs great.
