Default Vance and Hines Fuelpak Problems

Harley service is saying a V & H Fuekpak can screw up your engine, anyone have this problem?

The dealer told Mr that as well. I doubt it will, but I did get sold on the sespt instead because it's a re flash tuner rather than a piggyback. It allows tons more tunable variables for around a couple hundred extra dollars.

I don't think it can hurt your engine but it may not do as good a job as a real tuner. Of course, Harley wants you to buy their product, so that's no surprise.

That is complete BS. They are telling you that so you can buy their Stage 1, which is useless.

The FuelPak is a very good buy. No way it can hurt your bike.

Default v&h fp4

ive had 2 fp3's on my fatboy and deluxe never any issues i loved them, thats why i bought a fp4 for my 22 electra glide standard, i just installed it and flashed my bike now my check engine light came on and my bike wont start its flashing a code P1608, all electronics work but it wont start, now i have to have my 3 week old motorcycle towed to harley dealer, i did reinstall factory program, not sure why this new version took a dump, i will call V&H tech support today, i tried calling them 10 minutes before they closed and was put on hold then hung up on, not a happy Rider.

FP3 was good for my Stage1. I could not get dialed in with Stage 2 having tried multiple tunes from VH. Getting resolved by someone else doing Dyno would have been fruitless as few use or support. DynoJet with map from FuelMoto got it way ahead from where I was and a few auto tunes has running great.
