I have an 06 FLHTCUI with a thundermax auto tuner. I recently installed santee drag pipes on the bike, got a new basemap from thundermax and installed it. Have done a couple of autotunes on it.
My issue is after about 20 min or so of riding in town or highway makes no difference, my oil temp maxes out. bike still runs fine and i don't feel excessive engine heat.
Not sure what to do to get oil temp back to normal. didn't have this issue until i went with baffless drag pipes
As a side note, unbaffled drags are horrible performing pipes and may be causing lean and rich spots affecting your bike. Might be a contributing factor.
I would get in and check what the autotune has mapped, verify your tune. Could be having a tough time with the pipes and it's out of whack. Was it like this with the canned map before autotuning it?
