Morning Greg , Mark, Dan. Easy weeding the garden after a good rain. Tomatoes are growing like mad.

No tomatoes here but we have 9 pumpkins of various sizes growing out back. Hoping they get big enough for the kids to carve them for Halloween. I think it would be neat for them to grow their own, harvest and carve them.

No garden here, but not many people need to be watering them up here. One guy said he measured 19" of rain since May, not including the 18" of heavy spring snow we got.

They could bake their own pumpkin seeds too.

Maybe it is a "Buy a new bike" warning light. I wonder if my wife will fall for that
I would just get the "It run just fine until you started taking things apart and adding all those speed parts"...again.

I'm going to wing it for a bit.

Yep, that is why I do not discuss bike parts with my wife. She doesn't understand.

I have already replaced plugs, wires and the leaking slip-on with the ones from coastie56. When I put a different tune on the PC III the light came on more often and stayed on longer. It was a leaner tune than what I had. FM sent me 2 tunes...1 for Screamin Eagle air cleaner and slip ons, and the second the same except I asked them to whip up a tune for one with a Stage 1 ECM flash. That one, when compared to the first in their app, definitely adds more fuel in most RPM ranges and throttle positions. And it is noticeable on the butt dyno, too! I went back to the 2nd tune, with the ECM flash and replaced the air filter yesterday. I just need to get out there and road test it over a distance.

Good morning again fellers.


I used to raise a pretty good size garden, but haven't in a few years.


I get a lot of veg from the neighbor.

A couple questions Marcus...


Did you purchase a program to put on your computer to do this with?


Do you have to use a pre-canned tune or can you mess with it yourself?
