Default help with TFI

I have a 05 springer classic with the stage 1 kit and i just bought a TFI because the download the dealer does is junk. Pulled the plugs out and they are white, still f***ing lean. Does anybody know how to tune the TFI, as for as some good setting for the thing.

I've got the TFI on my 06' Standard. I just did what the insturctions say. Bring the motor up to operating temps, bring idle to about 2000 RPMs, then adjust the rest per instruction settings. If you don't have the instructions let me know what mads you have and I will look at my instructions and let you know what it says. Good luck!

The TFI will come with some base line starting points.Start with these and ride it to see where your at.I found info on here that the settings they give you are a little rich.I backed mine off almost one full position on each setting to get it right.If it says 4 try 3 or so.Only on the 3 pots that control fuel not the third one wich is the RPM in wich the main jet comes in. Hope this helps if not PM me and i will try and help some more.
