Xied's installed hers some word on them

smitty901 · 06-22-2008, 04:48 PM

with the 20 to 25 degree cooler I have measured it would not be possible for a human to feel that little when your talking between 250 and 300 degrees I would think

I find that in most cases a stock bike with some fuel added will offer a good ride and when guys go with the full blown SERT, quite often they end up with a bike that will give them some problems with pinging. It's all in the hands of a good tuner and the way the bike is tuned or set up.
The IED's only work in cruise, why would you only want to richen up one area without dealing with the others even thou you spend most of the time in that area ?
As far as the color of the plugs, with the removal of the tetraethyl lead years ago, the only thing you see from the color of the plug is the fuel additives. If you change fuel brands, the color changes too in many cases.
You can tell the heat range and if it's proper by the color of the ground strap and where it turns color but to use them as a diagnostic feature, it's not like it used to be. Looking deep in the tip of the plug with a 10X magnifier is about the only proper way of getting anything out of plug reading now.

The IED only work in cruise. You need to rethink that. They work from idle to just past 1/2 throttle. Thats where engine spents most time. The ied do same thing as that pc111 but at a better price. And that TFI it is about near to nothing as you can buy.

I for one beleave the TFI is a better way to go if you do a stage 1 ,I am testing these XIED's it will take some time to see how they go.
Temp reduction are something that takes a while to prove and so far the reduction I have measure is not a lot but worth while.
We will still need to see if the codes it thorws are or are not importan
PC111 just take to much work any cash to get right they will give you a bit more if you shooting for the most you can get but at a price.
Leaveing in about an hour this road trip will be a good test for the Xieds.

I for one am not a fan or beleiver of any of this piggy back or add on devices. Am totally against the ones that take the 02s out of play. I have the ied on my WG. If i do any thing else other than the A/C and pipes. It will be SERT all the way.Anything else is a band-aid fix. But for my stage one set up the IEDs are living up to my expecations.

Just got into Lacrosse
I had the Xieds back in for this trip and there is a difference. This is a trip I make often.
The bike is running a bit stronger. little deeper sound if that makes any sence.
As for temps well a little reduction but you have to use the gun to find it.
For sure the difference is no more than 20-25 degrees at any time.
Still throws codes on start up with in abount 60 seconds if cold right away if warm.
No check light.
None of the back fire I got when I rode it real hard the other day, and thats was only a very little.
So far they are doing basicly what Steve at nightrider said they would. But no were near what some have claimed.
They have earned some more time on the bike to see how they do.

I'm riding a 07 FLHTC, 2" Rush slip-ons, K&N 1499 in a modified stock airbox, and XIED's
I just completed a 1400 mile run with this setup and here is what I have to report.
I had no codes either active or logged prior to the start of the trip.
The riding was all interstate travel at speeds of mainly 70-75 MPH
GPS showed the following:
total time 29hrs 33min. running time 20hrs 12 min. running speed average 64.9 MPH
Fuel average for the trip: 41.38 MPG
8 fuel stops, with the highest mileage being 45.6 and the lowest being 34.8
I noticed a slight decel pop when exiting the interstates, coming down from running at speed for an extended period of time. No loud bang or backfire, just a slight pop.
Upon arriving at my destination, I rechecked for codes, and found none.
The bike performed flawlessly. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and at this point, I do not plan on changing a thing.
My feeling on the XIED's is that they have given me exactly the performance that I was initially expecting from this bike.
My temps are lower, the engine runs smoother, throttle response is improved, 6th gear is more useable, and the overall feel of the bikes performance is much more to my liking.
Did the XIED"S give me 10 HP....NO
Did they drop my temperatures 100 degrees....NO
Nor did they make me coffee or give me winning lottery picks
However, for a hundred bucks, they gave me exactly the performance I FEEL the bike should have had from the MOCO.

About the same as what i am see from them so far.
Moco can not do it by law Xieds are not leagel for street use thats why

After installing the XiED's on my '07 FLHTC and riding the motorcycle this weekend I feel that I can agree the motorcycle has slight improved performance, what I expected from it from the start.

Bud White · 06-24-2008, 12:38 AM

Also i notice i have a more consistant Idle from light to light .. some lights it had that harley sound and low idle other times it ran fast .. still no codes on mine

SteveB · 06-24-2008, 02:10 AM

....Also no codes on mine, no decel pop, idle about 1000 rpm a little "deeper" sound (SE Slip-ons) K&N filter Stage one dwnld. Throttle response a little 'quicker'...Gas milage will calibrate and average later...
