Where have I ever mentioned excessive pinging? Cold you please show me where all these other problems and "stuff" wrong with my bike?? I seriously doubt you can. You're the only one to claim I have a host of "stuff" wrong, or issues with the bike. Cruiser, your a good guy, but I think your reading into something that isn't there. There isn't any, aside from occasional ping. I'm also re teaching myself to ride this thing, where as, to take the R's higher in the gear before grabbing the next and rolling it on. If I recall, even you had suggested this to me... As mentioned before, my EXIDE's are sitting on the bench, for awhile. I will install them again, just for $hit and giggles and see what becomes..

You're a passionate individual, there is something to be said for that!

 

Well, I think I know what you mean, but put this way it makes one wonder: if the bike is "running right", why would I add this device? Surely you mean, as stated somewhere on the Nightrider site, that the bike shouldn't have major problems and the *IED may help with some symptoms of stock lean conditions on some bikes - there is too much variation to be sure, but at the price it may be worth a try before going the more expensive SERT/SEST/TTS (etc.) route.

Yes, a lot of passion in this thread. Quite entertaining.

 

Also post 2653 and 2660. You came up here with a Pinging problem that we have all tried to help you with. I'm glad to hear your dealer is getting a grip on it. Once the Bike is fixed put the XIED's on and give them a couple of hundred miles and see if your opinion doesn't change.

Just a Happy Customer

 

Thanks for correcting me you are quite right. The Bike shouldn't have a major problem. XIED's, or a Race Tuner won't fix a broken part.

Thanks...

Just a Happy Customer...

 

Once again, the occasional ping, is my only situation I have ever had, period! I'm still not seeing any other "stuff" that is wrong with my bike. Post 2687, means exactly that, if the ETH flash doesn't help, I would suggest to the dealer for a re program of the OEM program. Hasn't come to that.

My bike has NO major problems as you wish to suggest, the EXIDE's claim to help reduce ping, they did NOT.

 

Let's just call it a missunderstanding. I do have good intentions and only tried to help you.

The XIED's can reduce pinging of course that depends on what is the underlying cause.

 

On a hot day, my stock bike pinged like a can of marbles before I went to the ViEDs. Now I can't get it to knock. The only thing that was wrong was the stock tune and a lack of cooling.

 

Just curious how do you like the VIED's? What adjustment works best for your Bike?

Thanks,

Dave

 

I like them.

About 14.0 or about the middle setting. I am reluctant to explain how I came to my setting procedure for fear of a keyboard lashing.

Cruiser, no problem. I know you have good intentions!! On a side note, there is NO underlying issue! It is what it is because, of EPA. They are all to lean, hence the heat issues and surge. This is nothing, wait till the 2010's come out, then I wouldn't be surprised it is at least a 103" motor!!
