Really?? I got it.....You don't!! A dyno tune will eliminate the starting problem and probably give you even more power.....Go to Burger King....have it your way.

you can not do a good tune without doing the dyno, not sure by your post if they had already done that, if they did not you did not get a tune but rather a canned download so if you got new cams/big bore it will be needed. You got the supertuner so all you need is to spend a bit more and get it tuned properly. Did you check for an intake leak?
Can you be more specific.....checking for intake leaks????
I understand about the dyno tune.......a dyno was not part of the upgrade done by the Harley shop.....
i do not want to spend 350 bucks for a dyno.....
But I do think that it should not be backfiring through the throttle body either.
canned download?????....did they use the super tuner I bought to do the canned download? Why is it called a super tuner if it doesn't tune the bike properly?

if your intake is leaking where the manifold mates to the heads and/or tb and/or aircleaner you get backfire thru the air cleaner as it sucks in cold air and causes a lean mixture. anytime the tb has been removed there is that chance. it is easy to check.

So what you're saying is that purchasing a super tuner so the harley shop could tune it was a complete waste of my money right?
And I'm sure you are right the dyno would solve the problem....
But should I have a problem in the first place? that's what I was asking originally...
We all know that a dyno is what you want ot do to get 101% out of your bike.....I;m satisfied with it's performance capabilities as it is right now...... What I want to know is ...Should it be backfiring after a good tune from the Harley shop?
