RENBACK, gonna try to save you some trouble down the road.....dont go with the 10,5:1 set-up. you'll be fighting PING big time. unless your planning on a bunch of other stuff. bigtime tuning, (retarding timing) either via controller or 4* gear. better get comp. releases while your getting the heads done. and if you decide to skip the releases, you'll be in the market for a starter. go with a nice flat-top build and not too much comp. you'll be better off and much happier in the long haul. steve
Sorted! Headwork Will be done. (black diamond valves and stronger springs) and of course compression releases. Pushrods etc So timing should not be an issue.
Also flowtest of the ports. I use well known tuners for this stuff.
On the other hand, I do not know what "ping" is...
And yeah, The only petrol avaliable in Sweden is 95octane and 98 octane. Is low octane fuel (87) causing ping?
Oh yeah?
Anyhow. Sorted a map for my setup. (SE Stage 1. Supertrapp 2:1. SE airfilter)
Anyone know a way via mapnumber to see if the map is Amerikan or European?
95 Octane RON equals to 90 Octane US AKI. Still a bit higher here in europe then.
"Regular sold in much of Europe corresponds to premium sold in the United States"
As I understand it octane rating is a value of the resistance of "knocking"
I "knocking" equal to "Pinging"?
Anyhow. Powercommander installed. Still can´t get the seat on properly but i´ll sort that out.
My Fat Boy runs very well with map downloaded. Not as hot as before. Plugs looks ok. Better torque. No spluttering, hesitation etc. Also a little bit lower RPM on Idle. So I am very happy!
Seems like I don´t need to dyno it before my build which saves me some money!

What's it idling at? You don't want it any lower than 950, preferably a bit higher.

Something like that. Sounds normal. Was a tad to high before. Haven´t got an RPM meter and I did the programming of the powercommander with it disconnected from the bike. I guess I could find out if you like to?
Does not sound like it´s under 850.
