this site helped me with what jets and needle to buy for my RK. I saved a lot of time and money taking away alot of the guess work out of it.

Okay, i have to ask...how and where do you get these codes? If someone would give me a link or point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

I get a check engine light for a couple of seconds when I turn the ignition on, then it goes off and never comes back on...until I turn the ignition back on.

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth".(!)..That's the way (that light) is supposed to work during it's self diagnostics upon start up.

To retrieve codes, just google "how to retrieve codes on a 20__ ( your year,) Harley"

On my bike, it's a combination of toggling the speedometer reset while turning on the ignition switch.

NICE! Thanks for the feedback, I couldn't agree more that the Forum is the first resort for any information, not the stealerships!

Oh! I didn't know that it did that. I was worried since the first 1000 miles, it never came on. Good to know. Thanks!

And I'll Google that code thing.

I can't tell you how much "good poop" I've gotten over the years to answer questions I've had, and save me $$. Good post.

This forum has been very helpful. At the dealer, there are 5-10 smart, knowledgeable people. On this forum there are literally hundreds. If it wasn't for the huge thread on the Dynojet Powervision and the information posted there from many people, but especially Jamie at Fuel Moto, I'd never have bought one (plus pipes and air cleaner, all from FM.) Same with Howard Messner at Motorcycle Metal and my new JRI 13" B shocks. Or my J&S jack. All came from lots of favorable references and detailed, knoweldgeable discussions here. All of us together are smarter than any of us alone.
