May want to get in touch with H-D customer service, but not sure what good that will do.
Keep us informed about what you find.

Sub-range (but not tripping codes) electronics is my call but which one without collecting perfectly good used parts at full retail + labor to R&R.

I'd settle for the dyno numbers if the damn thing came off idle nice and run up the RPM better.

Nothing worse then seeing Bob shake his head at 2000 RPM all the way to 6000 (for the 2nd time).

4k miles on the 259's. 150.00

I don't know just thinking of something odd happening here. Also doubt it would run as good as it does but are the cams a tooth off. Hope you get it dialed in soon.
Compression tested at 195 front, 196 rear. I'll have it checked again before replacing the throttle control (flybywire). Off to RC tomorrow and then H-D Wednesday.

Good deal, rich tuned my bike, and did the cams. Wyotech grad who really likes tuning with the powervision. Bob can tune in his sleep probably. Hope you get her hammered out. When you do those 888 out to sound and run great.

Bob made 115/116. TTS program recommended larger injectors. SE injectors and SE's #1 rated air cleaner installed today. Going back with all the AF that build should ever need. Guess I have to live with the flat off idle through 3k RPM.

The 103 Stage IV Bob tuned before my bike made 123/126 (with SE injectors).
