Managed to goober up the threads on the rear cylinder spark plug. Yes I used anti-seize and yes I used a brand new torque wrench set to 13ft lbs. I was checking the plugs after running 3 tanks of gas through after a retune. Time to learn to Time-Sert a cylinder head I guess.
That stinks, you might want to put a borescope camera down the plug hole and inspect inside the cylinder. They make them now that plug into your cell phone. I have one and it works great for inspecting inside the cylinders.
Got the PV3 set up and the Stage 1 tune flashed to the ECU.
First ride to check it out will be to work in the morning.
My ‘seat of the pants’ evidence of being better than without it will be how hot the rear pipe gets by the time I get there.
The previous PCIII tuner had it under control until it failed.
Figured if I needed a tuner to help adjust AFR, might as well get one that is able to grow with the bike…
Installed a grease zerk in primary where the shifter shaft goes through. Also added some Belleville washers to tighten up the rattling in the whole assembly.
Results are TBD.
That sounds like a great idea. I can’t picture where it would be installed that you could get at it. Where/how did you install it? Pic?

The old HD service manuals always called for anti-seize, but this is starting to be a thing of the past, service manuals no longer call for anti-seize, my `19 and later service manuals call for clean dry threads.
