So I went for a ride yesterday and got a serious case of swamp a&% in about an hour. I didn't want to do it but I think I will have to cool it down. I am doing no mods. Bone stock all the way, including air filter. All I care about is heat. Which product will more readily cure the problem the V&H Fuel Pak or Power Commander?

Thanks

 

Which problem.....Swamp A$$ or the Engine Heat.....

 

If you're not going to do anything to it, why not let the dealer do a stage 1 download? that should make it run a bit cooler and better too. Also, changing to a good oil will help. amsoil ot mobile 1 works wonders.

 

Not sure if I'd agree on the stage 1......the bike will still be running considerably lean, which equals heat. Honestly, I'd consider mods (true duals, a/c kit).....less heat, better running bike, more enjoyable (without being loud if that's a concern). Out of the two options you've given....I know that the PCIII is easy to tweak on after installation.

 

I already did the Mobile 1 syn. I don't like the Stage 1 stuff. I have not heard good stuff and don't like having to pay for the uploads. I have a mimum budget I can squeeze by the wife. That is the basis for the options. Unfortunately the wife likes the sound. Also, if I can't get a handle on the heat with a simple process like the PCIII or the V&H FuelPak, I may sell and forget riding. The wife doesn't want me to sell but has already complained and it wasn't even hot outside yet. As far as the air filter, it is my understanding that without a freer flowing exhaust a free flowing air filter is pretty much a waste of time. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

 

here's a couple things that will help... under armor drawers, gold bond powder... even with heat reduction these things make riding for more comfy

 

Lot's of folks have had nothing but good to say about the Rjsoriginals.com heat deflectors. Just bolt them on and reduce the heat. Should fit your budget, leaves your bike stockand helps with the heat for you and your wife.

 

Do it right! get a Thundermax. You won't be sorry!

 

If your making no mods, buy those heat deflectors for 139.00 and ride on.

have you tried an oil cooler? you don't say what kind of bike you have, but if you cut to muchwind flow to the rider on any bike it's gonna get hot
