Check to see if it has the auto tune feature, if it does you'll have 02 sensor's, if not it will need to be tuned or install a canned map. The auto tune can be programed by you with a laptop. All you would need to do is go to the zipper's web site and download the pdf manual. Then just follow the instruction's. It's easy!

I have it on my 06 and love it. No auto tune on mine.
It was not available at the time I bought it.

Thanks for the info. I haven't heard of them before. How's the reliability?

I had one on my '07 Deuce. Mine had the autotune. Absolutely the one best addition I did. Cooler, smoother, faster, etc etc etc. I have '10 Ultra and as soon as I find $1000, I will have one on it. KW

i have one on my 2011 RG and my wife has one on her 06 SG and i like em makes a big differance on the bike. like someone stated earlier if it has 02 sensors its auto tune zippers has good customer service they can walk u through the whole thing its a little frustrating at first but once u learn it you can do anything u want to with your motor.lots of differant opinions on here but u do what u want.

Had one with auto tune. Kept fighting timing issues... went back to racetuner. If you never had a tuner, any will work on properly tuned... wasn't a significant gain over the racetuner tune I had...

I've had two of them, one for three years on a previous bike and the most recent for 1-1/2 and no problems with reliability so far. I've also been very satisified with performance and tuning flexibility.
