Stock setup
Hello all! I have a 2006 Street Glide fuel injected model. After getting a charging issue fixed thanks to a lot of help on here, I wanted to see if I could get help with what I believe would be an easier issue to deal with. I bought this with Rhinehart exhaust installed, along with a round k&n filter that replaced the factory filter. The issue is it doesn't run like I think it should at times. It skips a lot at low speeds at times and will stall at times when traveling in stop and go traffic. I was told it's because there was not a programmer used after the exhaust and air filter were installed. It will blow back through the air filter at times when it skips. To get this to run better would I be better off getting a tune, or would it be easier putting stock parts back on? I do not have any of the stock parts currently. Looking for ideas.

Yes it was. It isn't terrible, and I've put a few thousand miles on, but just thinking about trying to improve it.

I’d take it in and have it checked out.
For a simple stage one the dealer could do a stage one flash and see if that helps.the stalling is likely not tune related. It’s likely running lean due to the exhaust/air cleaner change but stalling may still be related to the charging issue or something else ? iac, fuel filter…
I personally would not continue to ride a bike that’s stalling in traffic!! Get it addressed.

Anytime I change the airflow through an engine, I adjust the tune...
IMHO.... With a basic Stage I Mod as you have, a tune map from a reputable shop like FuelMoto or DynoJet, would most likely suffice.
While there could be other reasons why you have that skip & stall issue (like a dirty/failing IAC), it will run it's best with a new tune, and a new tune would not be wasted money... So I would start there...
If you retune, and the issue still exists, then you know to trouble shoot for another problem...
I hope this information helps...
