RE: Recall on 07 Harley-Davidsons
I believe what they are meaning when they say 103 download is the the ECM reflash used if you install the 103 kit on the 96er. Yes they are dealers who are using this reflash. I understand that on the 103 kits the download is still EPA compliant, that the 103's still run lean with this download, but use the download on a 96er it just might add enough fuel to eleviate some of the lean condition. After talking to some of the tuners the adding of 10 percent more fuel on the 96ers may not be to much off the mark. These bikes are right on the line when it comes to engine damage from lean conditions. Even some dealers have told me they are not looking forward to the heat of next summer when their customers really begin to ride bikes that are stock. They seem worry about having to deal with the consequences.
The Parade map is not the Heat Management Map. The Parade map is distributed to dealers who service vehicles used by Law Enforcement Agencies. The Map fattens (enriches) the bottom end of the bike (when it is in closed loop mode). They provide this to LE bikes knowing they are used in stop and go traffic, parades, and such. Usually you will have to find a dealer who does service LE bikes. Carolina Harley Davidson in Gastonia NC is one such dealer. Eric the service manager has been installing this map with pretty good results. Not a total solution but at least Eric is willing to help the customer. This may be the map Harley is going to install in this so call recall to try and help the problem with the heat.
