Stage 1 download

I put in the KN high flow filter, hole-sawed the center plug on my stock mufflers and added Xieds. Got error codes one time, cleared them and they have not appeared again. IMHO the bike idles smoother, gas mileage average dropped about 2 mpg sometimes it is the same or better but that depends on my riding aggressiveness and has a better response throughout throttle range.....like I said IMHO with butt dyno readings. As a side note, my wife asked if I got it tuned up after I installed them. I did wait until first service was done and green-lighted the full warranty into effect. The only thing is the dealer would have to prove the Xied caused a problem if one were to occur. I am at 5,000 plus and no issues at all. Just my experience.

Thanks for the advice, but I did the download anyway. I wanted to wait until my warranty was expired before I did any major changing on the bike. It worked out ok, the bike runs a whole lot better with the screamin eagle air filter and home modified baffles! If it runs this good now, I can't wait to see what it does with better engine management, a thunderheader and a dyno tune!

I have been running my bike with stage one download for over 4 years with no problems. I know it can run better though so finally bit the bullet and ordered a Power Vision. I have read a lot of posts saying that all the down load does is alter timinng and up the rev limiter and I think that is BS. It also changes the VE tables slightly to compensate for the less restrictive intake. You should be fine with it until you decide what you want to do, just ride it and have fun...

+1 I have been running the download for 5 years now and I have no complaints about how my bike runs. I know I could get more power by adding a tuner, but if power was an issue for me a would have bought a metric bike for half the cost that would walk away from anything we can do to a Harley.

The indy shops say all Harley cares about is hitting the EPA #s, not trouble after the warranty.
Just don't know if the controller can add any new issues or just happy, trouble free riding?
