Ok. I’ve been a busy boy the last couple of days. Finally got around to doing some of the stuff I should have done last winter when it wasn’t riding weather.
Put on a set of Heritage bars (56623-99). Totally awesome. Much more comfortable now and I think the bike handles better now that I sit up a little more.
While that was all apart I thought it was a good opportunity to stick in an Osram bulb. I’ll find out what a difference it makes on the way to work in the morning.
Also threw on helmet locks and a couple of chrome goodies (my wife was out of town).
The grand finale’ was a TFI (1040ST). Boy what a difference a little fuel makes. I should mention I have the SE Hi Flow and SE Slip ons with dealer download.
Acceleration and throttle response is unbelievable and I think the exhaust even sounds better….BUT, I am having a small problem . When I burp the throttle on downshift I am getting a single backfire or pop. Could this be caused by a too lean or too rich condition? I had quite a bit of popping on decel before and that seems better but this is something new since the TFI was added. I figure it is better to draw on the vast experience present on this forum than to start tinkering and really mess things up.
My settings:
#1 – 3:00
#2 – 2:30
#3 – 3:30
#4 – 4:00 ( I left this one were it was from the box) not really sure what this pot is for anyway.
Any input is greatly appreciated
As a P.S. The Kuryakyn footboard relocators are on order and I finished everything off with a nice Pledge shine.
