Surging at Low Speed
2007 FXSTC with SE AC, V&H Bighshot Staggards and V&H Fuelpack. The bike surges at low speeds regardless of RPM. I'd have to say under 30mph for the most part. Any ideas/suggestions?

RE: Surging at Low Speed
My stock 07 FXSTC does the same thing. Basically it's too lean in those conditions. In my case, 1st ,2nd and 3rd it's noticable in a fixed throttle position, as in a jerky ride. Past that it smooths out.
How do you like the pipes , as that's what I'm planning on ordering? What baffles did you go with?

It surges all the time, mostly in 1st or 2nd gear in a fixed throttle position. It doesn't matter if it's cold, warm or other, it just surges a bit and is unerving.
rbabos: I really like the exhuast - lud but not obnoxious. The baffles are what came with them as I never touched them. The dealership put then on before I took delivery and that was all.

Tmax won't help. I've had one for over seven months and mine surges. I think the problem is the primary chain compensator .... something, somethingdo hicky thingy. Try a search. It's been discussed. But, I wouldn't buy the Tmax just to fix this problem. It's a great product that I highly recommend. But, it won't fix the surging.

I do not have a answer to your problem but if it makes you feel any better maybe it is a common issue with the 07 models? I have a 07 Heritage, SE AC, V&H Big Shot Staggered with a SERT that was tuned by the dealer and I have the same thing going on with mine as you described. I just roll a little bit of throttle on to take it up a few MPH or kick it up one gear higher & that seems to help.
