Default What can we expect...

to happen to the performance of our Ultra Classic going from sea level to the top (10,000'+ elevation) of the Beartooth Hwy in Montana? We've added Fuelmoto's complete stage 1 package and we're wondering if the autotune might help keep her running strong at elevation. Is this necessary with fuel injected bikes? Your thoughts are appreciated.

The FI systems have a baromeric sensor that adjusts to changes in elevation. You will be fine.

We've been all over Rockies from NM to Wy several times, even pulling camping trailer, and bike always ran great.

You won't experience any problems at all. EFI will take care of it. I've ridden from sea level to 10,000 feet many times, without any ill effects.

You can expect your MPG to rise around 10 mpg, that's what mine does anyway.
