Can't call my Dealer a Stealer, 1K ser + Inj
Took it in today for the 1k service. After the normal paper filling out...service manger: Any problems? Me: Well, when cold I get some backfiring thru a/c, occaisonal stall, and it idles rough. SM: When did you buy it. Me: Feb 06. SM (to mech, who was nearby listening), check the # (he takes out flashlight and looks at injector from horn side and says "old ones"). SM: We will be doing some warranty work which should solve your problems. The word injector was never mentioned. I just acted dumb (not that hard). My work sheet shows new 25 degree cone spray injectors installed, seal, and down load (all listed as warranty). Had them put synthetic in all holes, $273 out the door.
Huge difference in idle and performance. I had contemplated doing the 1k service myself but as you can see, at least in this instance, it was wiser to let the dealer do the initial.

Ditto..had mine done yesterday. Can definitely feel more power out of the bike and my leg is not burning up either. I am having it dynoed in 2 wks and going to have my idle rpm lowered as well...it seems to be about 850-900 and sounds like a high idle you'd have on a carb'd bike..I dont like it.

That's great. Glad they took the initiative to make the customer happy and the bike run correctly
I took mine in for the 1k mile check-up and mentioned the issues about the injectors and got the reply; " if you didn't receive notification from H-D about a recall or campaign there probably isn't one on your bike. But we'll enter your s/n# and see if there are any."
I had no dying or rough idle symptoms though.
So... I paid $200 for them to go over the bike and check stuff. They also told me the backfire on decel is from the aftermarket pipes and air filter due to unburned fuel igniting in the exhaust and is normal.
I guess it was worth it to document that the bike is okay incase anything goes wrong in the future they can't say it was somthing I did.

You can look at your injectors right behind the horn, if you have the 25 degree injectors, they are stamed as such.. with a 25* clearly marked. A coworker of mine has a RKC and had to have it back 3x for it to be taken care of. He definitely had a problematic bike and it quit on him a few times in very dangerous situations. One time the dealer replaced 'injector gaskets' Total BS IMO..

There have been some posts on how to find the date of manufacture of your bike and when HD switched to new injectors.
Since your bike is at the dealer have them check, especially if you have "symptons".
