Yep dyno. You can plug a lap top into your PCV and tweak it yourself. Idealy you would want to dyno tune it but if you can't do it now I would try and self tweak it. Fortunately, I don't have to pay for dyno time. A friend is an indy with a dyno.

Lucky dog!
Maybe I should plug in mine to see about some tweaking. Is this an easy thing to figure out/do? I'm pulling 40-44 mpg mixed right now. So I don't think I'm running TOO rich. I get a tiny bit of blubbering on decel if I chop the throttle closed immediately.
I do plan to get it dyno tuned after break in and I figure out a full exhaust/cam/head work I want to do, but that is a bit down the road for me. I'd like to perfect it myself as much as possible...

Yes I know, that's the same point I was making to reiterate your point.

Correct me if I'm wrong but minimum epa requirements is the whole reason our fuel injected bikes run so hot. I have the HD D/L and a pcV. My last fill up I got exactly my old mileage right on,mind you I was riding with the ole'ady and she is a scardy cat So the whole day was no faster than 60 mph,and no quick acceleration. Keith (FM) just got through telling me at cruising the maps are designed to run economically,but if your having fun and darting around and going 70 -80 -90 mph it will take more fuel,but who cares your having fun right? Even when I'm beating he crap outta my bike I'm only losing 4 or 5 mpG.
Sorry to hijack the thread,but if your going to spend 1000 to 2000 $$ for a 103 build why the heck not get a dyno and have it running spot on!?

The popping is only cool if it doesn't sound like a shotgun blast everytime you slow down. That's what mine sounded like and I actually had a guy duck for cover at the beach one time.
I played with the map at 0% throttle position and added fuel and it diminished the popping greatly. It rarely pops now and when it does it isn't loud as hell. I like it like it is now.
