Default Ultra woes..

Have an 06 Ultra with stage one and rheinharts. Was running very rough at low speed, coughing etc. I had the old injectors so dealer switched over to new ones and seemed to solve the problem. Was also getting alot of decel popping. I have put on about 5k since and the problem seems to be returning. Runs like crap in first and second but great at highway speeds. Still pops on decel. Had it dynoed and all the numbers seem to be better than average and air fuel mix is right on. I don't have a sert or pc111 or a dfo...any advice appreciated.

THATS YOUR PROBLEM. IT WILL NEVER RUN RIGHT WITHOUT A SERT,PC3 OR TERMINAL VOLOCITY.

A PCIII IS a NO BRAINER mod with your set-up. Don't ya wanna see how good your bike can really run? It's all about the TUNE!

Ditto. YOU NEED A PCIII OR SERT. Your bike cannot run right without modifying the fuel curve after changing these critical parts. It's a wonder it runs at all.....


nogood o~`o

You must have a dealer installed download at least, PCIII or even vance and hines fuel pack would cure all that, download works good on the SE mufflers but Rhinhardts are way more open and the dealer download is not going to work good.

I almost puked when I rode away from the stealership on my new $22M '05 Ultra - sluggish, quiet, not what I wanted in performance.

SOLUTION: PCIII

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! You gotta get one.

Now I can pop wheelies and keep up with those Hayabusa crotch rockets

Dealer install PC3?? You gettin' it dyno'd too? Why pay them to do something this simple. If you can connect a printer to a computer, you can install your own PC.

The only thing the dealer download is good for is removing cash from your bank account.
