I bought my 09 Fat Bob from a Private Seller. It was equipped with a Screamin' Eagle Pro Air Cleaner. He gave me a little box and told me I would need to take it in after the first 500 miles to have it tuned, recalibrated, checked out. . .bottom line is I don't remember.

So I called HD to schedule this thing I'm suppose to be doing. I did not get the warm and fuzzy from the female that works in the Service Department. She started talking about changing the filter and 1000 mile service.

Does anyone know what exactly needs to be done here? I do not want to pay for something I do not need done yet.

Thanks,

 

This might be too obvious...but I'd call the guy you bought the bike from and get the details (unless he's in Nigeria or something). What's in the little box? Based on what information you've given so far, you're probably only going to get guesses here. OK, here's my guess (it's free, and worth every penny)...you need to recalibrate the ECM to compensate for the high-flow A/C. As to what needs to be done at 500 mi, look in your manual. Not all Harleys get their first service at 1,000 mi, some indeed get it at 500 mi. Read the book, call the guy you bought the bike from, and take care of that little box...you don't seem to know what's in it.

 

The little black box, i'd bet is the HD pro race tuner. Which you need to do any tuning to your bike.

The screamin eagle motors have the pro race tuner on them stock and a new motor will be tuned for what they call low speed tune, after breakin they give them what they call a high speed tune.

I was told to do the retune at 1000mile service.

 

If you should happen to sell the bike again, that little box needs to go with the bike for the future owner. If it's lost and you need a tune, well you are screwed.
