ECM Flash
I have a 08 Softail custom with Rush 1.75 slip ons and running xieds. I was wondering if I removed the xieds and install a high flow air filter if the ecm flash would adjust back to factory specs .Since I am running the rush mufflers on it I think its still running lean with out the xieds. And after the ecm flash I would reinstall the xieds and get back to a more rich running condition.does any of this make sense or would I be wasting time and money.
Thanks for any input.

I guess I was trying to go as economical as I could. My thinking was that the rush slip ons make a lean bike leaner and a flash would solve that I thought. And then reinstalling the xieds to bring it back to a richer run condition.Question is do I do the flash only or do the flash with the A/C upgrade also. Just checking since Im on a budget .

On a budget I install the high flow AC and keep the XIED's. But if performance is in my long term plans I take some steps to get some other fuel managment in the future that can access some of those performance enhancing features your XIED's aren't going to get ya.
My 2 cents, but I bet if you do a search over in the ECM section you'll find others who are doing exactly what you want to do and could let you know if their haveing any problems with that set up.

I had the stage 1 air cleaner & download done to my bike when I bought it.I added pipes later myself.Ran ok but I had alot of heat.I got a pair of xied's and that cooled it down.Run's a little better too.I do have some decel popping though.This is temporary as I will get some sort of fuel management next year.Hopefully the Tmax set up.The download raises the rev limiter and Adds 5% more fuel to match the airflow from the open air cleaner,so i"ve heard.
