Had a weird problem with mine. When it was cold the ECM would not let the fuel pump run. Local dealer doubted me and pulled the ECM and put it in the refrigerator overnight, next morning the thing would not start because of no fuel pressure. They said they had seen this problem only one other time. Just my luck.

My FXSTC had way too much back-pressure. Opened the exhaust up and it now runs great. Didn't even have to retune it. I still don't care for the noise made by the counterbalancers when you decelerate (gear down).

What noise do the counterbalancers make?

Had an oil leak issue, was leaking at the seam behind the rear cylinder. So I brought it to the dealer and they told me they needed to split the case to re seal it. The reason was a **** poor silicone job with air bubbles that finally popped at 4K. Other than that all is good.
