now I know what stage 1 means all about...and I'm sorry to hear about your experienced thou... too bad I dont want that to happen on my bike. I hope you settle down with your dealer.

I'm interested to know what kind of bike you riding? and is this a brand new? I hope is not Iron883N

Had slight Decel pop but that was from leaking exhaust gasket....got that fixed today and it's like a brand new bike.
Aha. I had that decel pop going too. I pulled the pipes to tape them, changed the exhaust seals when I did it. No more decel pop. Thanks.

I have an 09 Iron that was delivered to me new with V&H SS, SE Stage1 and Dealer re-flash of ECM.

I got a $1000 gift card when I bought the bike, the above was $800.

I have never had an issue with how my bike runs, no popping, no lag, no too hot, no high idle, nothing but a clean runnin bike.

I think stage 1 is a waste of money for Sportster 2010 to up models. According to my HD dealer...there's no stage 1 program yet that available for models 2010 and up. I was a little bit surprised..is this true? But it's good the service guy who I talked to is straight forward, not like other dealer they only after making money...and screw ther customer.
It's good there's a x14iED for my bike...awesome performance!
thanks guy's!
