NO...but you have to call Vance and Hines.
What they'll do is have you upload your ECM data which will be the stock tune with the 621 firmware that HD just flashed to your bike.
Then they push out a download to you which sits in one of your slots...called something like "CSM Download" or something. I don't really know what that file is, but I assume it overlays with your chosen map and makes it play nicely with the 621 firmware. I think it makes it keep just the hard starting fix from the dealer patch, without erasing the rest of your tune. You'd have to ask VH for the specifics if you're curious.
It only takes about a 5 min call with VH to do it. Just make sure you call them before trying to re map!
I did it right in the dealership parking lot.
just bring the FP3 with you when you go to pick up your bike, along w tools to remove your seat. I never bring my bike to the dealer with a tuner physically plugged into it.

I've been wanting to see a FatBob S. I'd probably trade in my Fatboy S for it.

Just joined this S club
I just bought a 17 Slim S. I have been riding RG's for the last 5 years. Decided I wanted something smaller, easier to handle.
I have read about the first 40 pages of this thread and will finish it up in the next day or so.
I had the dealer put a small set of apes on it and ordered the windshield.
I have a set of Dragos 2-1 pipes coming and will get it dyno tuned by Steve @ GMR
I am real excited about this new bike

Just put a 110 kit on your current bike, a hell of a lot cheaper if youre planning on staying with the same bike

thanks, They are 16's. 72" clutch hose, 38" upper brake hose + ABS adapter. Order from Magnum Shielding. I opted for the 90 degree banjo fittings instead of the 35 degree as spec'd

I'm saying if they made a Street Bob S with the 110 i'd prefer it over the fatboy.

Have you owned a Dyna previously? Ive had one recently, and not again. No contest between the B motor and the A for me. After the M8 makes it into whatever replaces the Dyna, maybe, but I couldnt handle the hand vibes on the Dyna.
