It does and you can... it also says you should use only harley oil and only harley this and that etc....My bike since i have installed cams will let me do it at 50 mph but i still think it's hard on the engine.. to each their own i guess...

I would pull the seat and the side panels to see if there is an ECM added
I would go to the harley dealer and have them run the VIN in the service dept. If the work was done at harley it should pop up...probably a download

UPDATE... Look what I found.
I pulled the map off it, and it was running the .001 map, which says stock air cleaner, and stock pipes. the bike has a big sucker on it, and it had slip on's, but I put the stock mufflers back on. Dynojet suggested I run map 003, which says vance and hines oval slip ons and screaming eagle intake. I did load that map, and the bike seems to run quite well with it, but I got a feeling I am going to see yet crappier mileage.
2010 Road King here. Pretty consistent 40-42mpg, bone stock motor.

OK, so I bought this bike used, from an auction. I have had a few small issues.... pinging under heavy load, inconsistent idle, o2 sensor code...
Just yanked the PC out, and that fixed EVERYTHING!
Bike runs 100% perfect without out, no pinging, perfect idle, no codes.
Like a brand new bike.
I bet I am gonna see some good mileage now too!
ps... Power Commander for sale LOL!
