Bad day at the dealership
#57
Took it home, busted out the laptop and tuned it by the butt. Took about 6 five minute rides. Ran great ever since, check plugs every now and then, they look fine...not white, not blackened.

Ok, well while we're waiting I'd like to chime in on the dyno bash. Had it on there 3 times...first time it would barely run and throwing codes (how the hell did an "expert" not hear or feel that?), second time it ran a little better but a blah pig at highway speeds, last time was little or no change and bike was producing right around stock numbers, less that the first time it was tuned and throwing codes.

sorry for the late response. i have been busy with work and family life. now the outcome. i went to Finks HD and it comes to find when i changed my cams, i had a sprocket tooth off align from the cam gear. not sure how that happend, but they looked align when i did it. They said each tooth was about 5 degrees and it was too much advance timing. they treated me well and explained what happened and after see the before and after dyno runs, well yep it was my faught. i gained 20 hp and 15 ft-lbs and ended up with 88.6 hp and 104.7 tq.
well im happy with it right now, but things can always change, but ill have a professional do it next time (engine mods i mean). t ired it and messed up, but i got a learning experience and found what not to do with a tuner and my mechanical skills.

1. Glad they got it figured out.
2. Anyone can make a mistake, but few own up to them.
Glad this story had a happy ending !! Sounds like FINS HARLEY DAVIDSON in Zanesville did a solid job for you !!
