Stage 1 download?
I have a 06 SG stock motor S E intake kit with a set of wild pig slip ons. Have a slight hesitation issue. Called local HD dealer they recommended a stage 1 download. I asked why not a dyno tune with a tuner and he said not necessary with the minor stuff on my bike. My question is has anyone done the stage 1 download and did it work or make any difference?
Thanks

I have the stage 1 download on my 09 Ultra , and I'm quite happy with it.
The stage 1 assumes a screaming eagle air intake and SE mufflers.
This worked with my S&S intake and S&S SPO mufflers with quiet baffle just fine.
Performance is better and the fuel mileage went up , I never had a heat problem up in the northeast , and my bike never had catalytic converters.
I looked up the specs for my download , and it didn't add much fuel , but advanced the timing a bunch , I guess that was enough for my combo.

put duals on wifes 04 Heritage and has a stage 1 on it , had se slip ons , talked to my dealer and he recomended the same thing just a down load which it may allready have they will have to check history of the bike , I bought it used , any way if you are just wanting it to run and sound good try the down load , if you are trying to get every thing out of it thats posible the dyno might be the way to go , have heard some bikes being dynoed and personally I would not put my bike thruogh it , or as a last resort

I have the Stage One DL with the SE slip-ons and AC; works great. You can get a more dialed in tune with a tuner/dyno but of course there is a much larger cost to that. My buddy has an '09 as well with the SERT/pipes/ac. His bike is faster than mine but he gets 5mpg less and there really isn't that much performance difference. I've also not noticed his bike running any cooler than mine (mine doesn't run hot either) which is what a lot of people say is the reason for a tuner.

Wild Pigs Pipes + Fuelmoto A/C on my 09 RK. Vacillated for a while whether to get HD DL or PCV. Read a lot of forum discussions about this topic. In my case, bit the bullet and bought a PCV from Jamie at FM.

What range do these downloads cost? I have a PCV, not that I need a DL, just curious myself what the price of a DL costs compared to a dyno. My dealer charges $325 for a dyno run.
