Hey guys i just bought a very sick bobbed iron 883. However it will miss when at steady low RPM's. It will not do it when accelerating hard. The bike came with an aftermarket air cleaner and aftermarket exhaust, (virtually straight pipes). I replaced the plugs and they are chalky, and the bike is running lean. My best guess is that it needs re maped. Thanks and let me know what you pro's think. thanks and peace

 

get some type of tuner/ x14ied/vied bike is running lean.. get a alot of lean pop on decel?

 

It needs more fuel, don't bother with a dealer remap...expensive and it will still be lean.

You can go with an expensive tuner like a PC or PowerVision, or if you are sticking with just Stage 1 on the engine (pipes and A/C) the XiED's will make it a happy motor.

What is the best XIED product for my Sportster?

We recommend the X14iED for general use on all Sportsters. This provides the best all around performance.


For Riders that want to experiment with fuel mixtures, the VIED allows a range of fuel mixtures from 14.3 to 13.7:1. This is our recommend alternative to the X14ED. It gives you the chance to try the 14.0:1 and 13.8:1 AFR's, making the final setting based on your riding style.


For Riders with a Bar Hopper riding style (in town), the XiED can be used. Its slightly richer fuel mixture than the X14iED is well suited for in-town riding, but not high RPM, high speed riding.
Contrary to popular belief, richer is not alway better, only richer. For normal cruising in closed loop, there is a diminishing return as the fuel ratio gets richer than 14.2:1. The X14iED is set at 14.0:1 which as proven to be an excellent all around fuel mixture, especially when taking into account the adaptive nature of the HD Delphi ECM.

 

Well my bike i usually only go on 30 mile rides tops and will hardly ever touch 60mph, i cruze around 45-50 and like to rip round town. So it sounds like you recomend the Xied for me? Or should i buy the X14ied? i just wana make sure it is not going to be hard on my engine and will not kill my gas milage. Thanks for the quick reply guys!

 

I dont get a lot of pop, no more than some other harleys i have herd around town. It does sound a little strange when on decel though.

 

I run the XiED on my Iron and no issues here. It didn't kill my gas mileage either. Depending on how I ride, my fuel light comes on at around the 90 mile mark.

 

So before I was running the stock AC and some Rush slipons with the X14s. I would always get decel popping with this set up. I just added the SE stage 1 AC kit and now my decel popping is the same. Seem normal to you guys?

 

Post up a picture of your bobber. I love that style bike. My next bike will be to turn into a bobber.
