Default Dk xied

I just put on the the new sensors I'm getting alot of deceleration pop I only did a quick run seems alot more responsive. I'll get some good mile on it it tomorrow 80 miles one way to work. First impression seems good do far. Down is and not only DK but everything I've bought lately no stickers. How is a man supposed to decorate his tool box.

I bought a set of xied's from a vendor on here, and they were a piece of crap on my 2014 Custom.
Had a set on the 2007 and they worked great.
Seems Night Rider doesn't have the newer systems set up correctly.
Bought a Fuel Moto Micro tuner to replace the xied's, and it was night and day difference between the two systems. No more popping and better acceleration.

Look in the package & papers again...there should have been a sticker...if not, email the office and we'll get one out to you.

XiED's take about 200-300 miles, and several ignition cycles to completely adjust the ECM. It will get even more responsive with a bit more riding.

I've read where you've posted this info in many different threads.

My guess is that you received a defective unit. We have hundreds of Customers that are just as happy with their XiED product in their 14's & 15's as they have been with earlier years.

The FM MT is a great product also.

Your company was the vendor. No problem on your end, great service and delivery.
I spoke to Steve @ NightRider several times trying to get my problems resolved. Not once did he offer an exchange or mention a possible defective set. The set on the 2007 ran flawless,the 2014 are a piece of CRAP.
The XIED's kept throwing O2 codes, pipes popped badly, and the bike bogged down heavily if dialed up to high. Even with it dialed up, the pipes still popped badly. This was with V&H slip ons only, and no intake mod at that time.

Same here with my ViEDs (runs great)....I installed the ViEDs when I installed the Outlaw 587 air cleaner and have been using it with three different exhausts (2.5", SEII 3", and Rush 3" with 2" baffle) and they all ran fine. The Rush had minimal decel popping but I will modify the settings (i.e. V as in Variable) after I ride a little more so the unit has time to adjust.
