Default Heritage softail classic 2012 upgrade

Hi to all in this great forum
I have a tech question
At the shop that I used to come over they change the distribution sistem by a s&s 510g kit my bike has 55000km on it and after I check the distribution tensioner I notice
that was almost time to replace them so I decide to upgrade
as soon as I start the bike it sound really diferent, went for a ride and notice that at low speed the bike was running bad the idle fell down and engine went down
at medium and high speed the bike was running right
Do I need to remap?
I hope my english is good enough to you to understand me
thanks a lot

If distribution system you mean S&S cams, yes you need to remap. Good luck, Ride safe.
