Default Cold Blooded!!!
Before i did the Stage1 it was pretty warm blooded actually, but now it stumbles pretty badly and backfires quite a bit before it's warm.

Something is wrong with the map, if you bought it from fuelmoto get jamie to send you a new map.

I was thinking the same thing. Funny thing is, when I got it the was for 883 and there were no o@ Eliminators in the package. I called and he said it WAS the Correct kit but that it should have had the Eliminators so he sent me some.
I think I'll go to dynojet.com and download the map for 1200 with SE air cleaner and Short Shot Pipes.
