Too many projects to complete this year before I am able to buy a dyno.
I need to do my research before I spend any money so I can get compatible components for everything to sync properly.

scj I see you are from Chili, I normally make it up around your way a few times a month, we need to hook up and ride sometime. I think there is a motocross at the fair grounds next weekend, If I'm not working, I'll be up there. I'll have my buddy take my mx bike, so I can ride the harley up.

During the "break-in" of my 120R w/Dragula exhaust I used the SEPST for 2/1 exhaust. I did notice a few flat spots around 3300-3500 RPMs, but I perfromed various Smart Tunes and they smoothed out. I didn't have any issues with idle, but I had to adjust the cranking fuel at various temps.
Did you have to take fuel out?
90% of the time it starts just fine but occasionally, it has to crank for up to 6 to 7 seconds before it starts. I tried adding more fuel this morning and it did not help.
Other than that, my bike absolutely runs flawlessly.
Yes, I had to take fuel out.
Get a VPC, it'll help with the clutch pull when the torque strats to "kick in".

aviscomi,
Thanks! I've been taking a little out at a time and I think I have it now.
HDFUserName,
I have the SE version of the VPC plus the SE 37951-98 diaphragm spring.
Clutch pull is just slightly stiffer than stock and it does not slip.

I gave up the dirt bikes this past February and so far I've been too busy to miss them.
PM me next time you head this way.
