07 running hot
Gents
My 07 FLHT is running hot was wondering what I could do. Yesterday a friend of mine who bought an 07 Ultra was told by the salesman that there was a recall out and anybody who wanted they would change the chip so the motor would run cooler. What chip are they talking about ? I was told that was done free of charge.

RE: 07 running hot
Chip is wrong term, no chips in your hd, there is a ECM (electronic control module) this can be reprogramed by the dealer by downloading a different program. There are a few downloads said to help the heat, one reduces the rear cyl. temp by 60 degrees and gives 11% more power, the other is a parade download that cuts the the fire to the rear cyl. after it idles for awhile( this caues raw gas smell and not many want it) but the other might help. Or add a PCIII by dynojet and heat will be no more than previous years, but understand all air cooled v-twins get hot standing still. But the bigger 96inch and it running leaner is a heat producer.

Do you know what the download - 11% more power and 60 degree r.c temp. reduction, is called? A part number maybe? This sounds interesting, I may give it a try.

I dont, the general manager at Earl Smalls HD in smyrna georgia told me about it, most of these downloads are on the harley dealer network website but you must be a dealer rto access. Might give them a call and ask, 770-919-0000

... Not sure why people refer to this as the "parade" download. According to HD's internal training documentation, "Vehicle must be at idle and not moving to activate"

But I've also heard references to, but not verified, a "Parade Map" which provides a richer mixture for the first 10% of throttle opening. Sounds logical, although it wouldn't help lean condition at higher speeds.
