Default Bike is sluggish

So I've noticed that since I installed the X14iED's a week ago, my bike has been running pretty sluggish. What I mean by that is it feel like I need to hammer on the throttle to get power out of the engine. I just replaced the A/C and spark plugs. Any ideas what it could be? I've put maybe 200 miles on since I put the X14's on. Could it be the ECM adjusting? Thanks!

Start the bike and let it run for a few minutes, then pull your plugs and look at them. Perhaps one of them is bad, or the wire isn't fully seated, or one of the iEDs is defective. This would cause on cylinder to fire poorly, and should be obvious on the plugs. Is it running rough, too, or just sluggish? Is the A/C installed correctly? Do you have another map/tuner installed as well as the iEDs?

Aside from my SE slip ons and the iED, I have no other "performance" mods. I am using the stock AC. I'll pull the ham can off and make sure it is on there correctly. What should I be looking for on the plugs after I pull them?

Check your VIN#. Maybe they put an 883 in your Nightster by accident. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

If a plug is wet, it isn't firing. Otherwise, check the color to determine if you are running rich/lean.

Unhook the X14ieD's and see If things change.
Do hook up the O2's tho.

Call me crazy, but I changed the engine and tranny oil, took off the AC and inspected it, topped her off with some fuel, and she runs completely fine. Not sure what it was that made the bike ride the way it did for that day. Maybe I'm just going crazy. Who knows.
