The pipe issue is a fairly common one unless you have true duals. The gas smell is something else.

So, any ideas?
I had exactly the same problem.....I had them remove the Down load and the bike ran as designed. Only problem was I had to buy a PCV from Jamie. The dealer did refund the money for the Stage 1 down load, they said that there has been several issues with the down load on the 09s.

Hope this helps.

I'd take it back to the dealer. I have the exact same setup on my '09 Street Glide and it runs great.

Does one size fit all? So why would a canned download fit all? The only thing consistent about a downloaded map from the dealer is that the cash register goes kaaa-ching!
