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.

Once warmed up (10 minutes or so) it runs great...Anybody else have these issues?

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.
