Default Sometimes hot on my leg

I mentioned before that I have V&H slip-on mufflers and a big air cleaner on my 07 Heritage. I had Harley run the stage one program on it because it seemed to be running hot (I could feel it on my leg). For a few days it appeared to run fine but now my leg is on fire again. Is it possible for it to loose that program? I'm not sure what to do or think. As soon as the weather clears I'm going to head up the shop to have them recheck things. I was thinking of switching back to the stock air intake but I'm not sure what will happen since it was programmed with the big one on.

The dealer download is crap. Buy a proper tuner such as a fuel Pack or power commander etc. As mentioned above you can also try a crotch cooler. Finally...stay away from the dealer.

You have a bad tune.

Either put it on the dyno and hope the operator knows what they are doing or get a self tuning ECM like Thundermax.

Agree ? Take it in and have mapped out. ECM is also a good idea.

Tuner and Captain itch crotch cooler. We have both on our '12 Heritage and my wife loves the difference. No more fried right foot.

What part of your right leg is getting hot?
When does it occur? Are you spending a lot of time in stop-and-go traffic?
