carbon build up..you need to blow it out the old fashioned way on a regular basis...they are designed to be run up to 5500 rpms safely, and it's healthy for your top end to wring them out often..true story

Do you ever go over 35 mph?

My 2013 EG Ultra Classic with stage 1 is the happiest at 2800-3100 rpms at 38-39 MPG in 6th gear.

2600 in 6th gear is over 70mph, if I remember.

3000 rpm is well over 80 mph, lol! Seriously, stage 2 on a 114 is the best bang for the buck you can get. My dealer does a 20% off deal very winter and I already had the dbx 45 slipons. I stuck with the Harley cam, ventilator and the download for the combo from moco. Bike became so much more fun to wind up.
