Thumbs up New here and need help
Been lurking for a while and you guys seem to be very helpful. So here is my problem I have an 06 flhxi with a thunder max tuner, wimmer intake, rush headers, and tommy gun exhaust. The bike idles real low around 800, runs out well but I get slight hesitation at steady speed around 30mph. Any thoughts?

What do you mean by hesitation? It hesitates when you roll on the throttle or it lurches or appears to stumble when going a steady 30 mph? If it is lurching at a steady speed your primary chain probably needs adjusting. Welcome to the forum.

You may have a corruption in your tune. You will probably have to reload a map to the tuner.

You mean reload the same map or find a different one?

Not sure how your tuner works- but if you have a copy of the original tune try reloading it. Or the Thundermax people may be able to send a tune file to you to try.
