I have 2 buddys that got powercommander with auto tune from fuel moto and both had issues with it. I run the sert,heavy breather,and h.o. propipe and it runs way better. That stock headpipe with cat kills the power. Dragos is a sponser on choppedbaggers.com

 

The big question though is 'did you buy it in a slow colour'?

 

I had the Harley Stage 1 flash done on my bike but didn't like the results. A good tuner is the way to go. I put in a Power Commander. Much Much better than the Stage 1 flash.
My bike ran way too lean and too hot with the Stage 1 Flash.

 

Gotta @least put it @ a stage 1.
Pipes, A/C, tuner get rid of the cat.. All that..
You will be a lot happier then..

 

I had the same experience. Without the cams.......... I cannot wait to see what the cams add...

Did Python True Duals (V&H Dresser Duals basically), 3 1/2" slip-on's, SE open element air cleaner, and Screaming Eagle Super Tuner Pro with a canned map from it.

World of difference. Mileage is up, better power, sounds like a Harley.....
I have think I have about 1300-1400 in my stage one...... Did all the work myself.

Mileage is always in the low 40's and have hit the mid 40's in the last few tanks. I run a mix of highway (10 to 15 over), side roads (no more than 8 over) and am very happy....

I beleive I could have not done better for all new parts and I did look for deals (did not pay list for anything).

 

I agree.... Stay away from an EPA stage 1 flash...... at that cost you are 1/3 to a super tuner or about 1/2 way to a PC V.

 

I agree. I did this with my bike and it sure seems to have a lot more pull.

 

if you do nothing else....and only could choose one thing I would suggest a good tuner...pcv, power vision or whatever else you like that is programmable for future changes....even without a air filter and muffler change the programmer will greatly improve the way the bike runs...that being said (I have a '11 flhrc w/103) headers, mufflers and ac will help a ton, and cams will help even more...with all these changes on my bike it is a different bike, if you twist it hard from a stop it will snap you head back if you are not careful, and it finds the rev. limiter real fast through first, second, third and forth...at which point it time to slow down....BUT, at 70 in 6th, it just floats along very civilized getting good gas milage and waiting for you to twist the grip...

 

On my motorcycle I did the heavy breather and SE street performance mufflers with the HD stage one download.

It was alright as it was my first HD experience.

I eventually changed the stock cams for an Andrews 26H cam at the Indy 's suggestion. They were coupled with a TTS and tune by Lonewolf. That netted me 100 ft-lb, 89 HP.

Really, it was enough, but I'm retarded.

Enter the 120r.

The 120r and Rivera Primo clutch, and a new
Supertrapp supermeg 2:1. The Heavy Breather still there. From the dealer the motorcycle was producing 123HP and 118 ft-lb. SAD

Took it over to Lonewolf and after the addition of discs and his tune it made 132 HP, 131 ft-lb.

The clutch can be a bit of a dog, and I wonder if a supercharger would be the way to go. Maybe I should add a supercharger. Ha ha

Long story short, those were the paths I took. My stock motor sits on the buffet in the dining room. (I love my OL). It is ready to go if need be.

Mine isn't the only or best route, but I have two motors I suppose.

Best of luck. Ride safe, and consider a brake and suspension upgrade if you're really pumping the power output up.

On my 11 limited I put a se ac and sepst with canned map Rush Big Louie slipons and removed the cat. It definatley woke it up with more torque pulling up hills.
