Default 883 help!!!

I got my sportster about two years ago new!!now and I feel like I'm experiencing a problem with throttle I have changed the pipes and Air take and I knew that would create a problem so I bought Xides is and I thought that was going to solve the problem before and started everything is installed and now all of a sudden it seems like there is a use throttle leg I do not understand why.. I'm almost at my 5000 mile service but I also don't think that has anything to do with it I think the bike is in really good shape maybe I'm just too heavy for the bike now I am 300 plus pounds any help would be greatly appreciated thank you very much!!!!

Your weight won't affect how well your engine runs, only how quick you are at the drag strip! There is also no reason why it should run just fine. However diagnosing things like that isn't easy on the internet. Do you have a local indy who can tune it for you? It is possible the Xieds are not man enough for the job, so your bike may run better with a more tunable device instead.

The xied's might not be cutting it anymore. I had to get rid of mine and get a proper tuner.
