Forgive me if I've posted in the wrong section but I thought I'd get more exposure here. Did alot of mods this winter, but the only motor related were going from V&H staggered straight shots to V&H Big Radius and ditching the football AC cover for a Jersey Customs football cover with the ends cut off and holes added. Same SE air cleaner, hell I didn't even remove it. Now on about every other cold start up I've got a slight backfire which sounds like it's coming from the exhaust. Hit the starter button, pop. Wait a sec, hit it again, fires right up. Runs normal. Doesn't do it when warm.

Pipes have Big City Thunder Monster Baffles. Bike has PC III usb. I've also got a little rust colored spot on the front pipe right before the heat shield. Not blue. Any thoughts?

From this........

This may be the one you need.

 

I bought the bike like you see it in the first pic. Already had the 103" kit installed. I do have all service records and receipts though and from looking at the dyno sheet after install it says "stroker ecm". I have fuel and ignition table copies as well. It also says "ECM CAL #32945-02,USB PC. And has the previous owners name and 805 ADV. MAP after it. This was from 1/5/07. The engine was built in Dec. of '02 so not sure what he was running up to the 1/5/07 date.

 

The bike is an '02.

 

Man that sounds like alot of unknowns. If it was me it woud be time for the dyno.
For around $300 you would know it was tuned perfect.

 

That's my problem. I'm in the Kansas City area and I just don't trust the dealer to do it.

 

Sounds like dyno time, power comander.com has a list of authouized centers I am sure you can find someone of good reputation in the KC area.
Good luck.

 

Yup. Just found one. Not too far either. Gonna make an appointment. Any idea how much I can expect to pay?

 

I've heard to expect 300 bills I was quoted 500 but I found a map for my set up.
Let me know what your damages are.
