Default HQ 113" up and running

Took it out for the first run tonight, I still have to get the sert flashed with the HQ. map can't get my sert to flash got a apointment at the dealer tomorow tose if its my pc or the sert wen't bad.Just took it for a 3 mile run Im sure the pro tuner will adjust the a/f out right but still want the ignition map flashed. The build has gone good to this point with the exception of the sert. This is my first entire build altough I have done several topends and cams. All the way through the build I must say the guys at H.Q. have been first class helping me with questions returning e-mail (Kevin) and on the phone (Doug). The pro tuner is a very easy to install controler the hardest thing to do is add the bung to the exhaust pipe and took me all of30 min. for complete install. Like I said the map is not right yet and the motor is not broken in but it is very apparent the power is there. The motor is quiet and smooth(atleast quiet comared to my pipes) So far I am competely satisfied with H.Q. build and the experiance of building it myself. If any one is out there on the fence about a H.Q. build of any kind I say do it, I believe you like me will bea happy customer. I did give it enough thorotle to know I better hold on tight if I crank on the thorotle cause it pulled the seat a couple of inches out from under my 240 pound ***.

Congrats on the build---yesterday let me know that HQs is the chit---let my buddy ride my HQs 103 he has more riding skills than me and he has a lot more guts (on his bike and anyone else's) 10mph he hit the throttle in 1st slid the bike side to side --- he then did it in 2nd ---I was very impressed with my bike---he has a HQs 113 being built at this time.

That's GREAT, Chris!

You guys are kill'n me! Jason (Boargaurd) has offered up his FatCat for me to use temporarily, so I may be getting closer to running too.

I'll be eager to hear some more feedback on the ProTuner, once you get the right MAP installed.

congrats!!!!

Maybe you've given it a try, but I remember reading on HQ's support site were some are having problems uploading maps with the SERT when they have the Pro Tuner. Kevin mentioned that if there you have the problem you can bypass the Pro Tuner which will allow you to upload the map.

So who here has over 150HP on their scoot? What's the next magic mark? I have HP envy already.
