I installed all of these mods myself and I have messed with the plugs to clean them before. I guess this weekend Ill tear the freakin bike apart and get new gaskets and overlook everything AGAIN. If the bike is still missing after that then I guess I will try the $200 dynotune.

I would not tear it apart,,,maybe just the Intake side,,,
Pop yer stock airfilter in and start It the next am,,,,,

Its prolly sumthin soooo simple you'll freak when ya find it.

Go back to the website and see If they have fuel setups that are a bit richer.
Do they list the parameters,,,the AFR In closed and open loop ???

If there was a leak would the dynotune for sure find it?. If so I will stop being cheap and definitely get that done. My worry is that it could possibly be a leak.

If you would like to check to see if your intake seals are leaking, @ idle(even if you have to hold the throttle) just take a can of contact/brake clean and put the little red straw on the can trigger and shoot a couple of shots directly on the front then rear intakes and if the idle changes rmp levels either way, your intakes are toast.....

I like to do my own work but I don't want to damage my engine messing with fuel tables.
That saying Ive read on here before "this isn't rocket science its a Harley" doesn't work anymore. These EFI bikes are pretty tricky. I'm just going to save up some money and take it to the stealership.
