Default IDS Installed Today

Here's the report.&nbsp\\; The bike is much smoother now.&nbsp\\; No 5th gear whine.&nbsp\\; The really great improvement is 20 mph head wind, 6th gear, 70 mph, uphill, NO ENGINE NOISE!&nbsp\\; Also, I am now able to ride 55 mph in 6th at 2K rpm, no lugging, no noise.&nbsp\\; A great improvement.&nbsp\\;

Yep - an' when HD starts (rightfully) denying warranty claims caused by luggin' the engine, don't complain.&nbsp\\; You ARE luggin' an engine under 70 mph in 6th gear.&nbsp\\; You may not hear the noise any longer, but that's because they are masking the symptoms - period.

Well thats one hell of a mask!

Install the IDS if you haven't already done so on an 07. It will make you fall in love with your bike all over again.

BTW, they've been putting thse things on MC's for years.... Seems to be a durable mask too.

George Help me out on this one
I m obviously (see sig) a big IDS fan
If the IDS masks the symptoms what other symptoms/problems would indicate a motor has been lugged

I didn't do a very good job of asking that question
What type of&nbsp\\;warranty claims would you expect to see if a 96" motor is run in 6th gear between 60-70 mph
&nbsp\\;
Any info will be appreciated
