Hey all, this is my first post here and I am glad to hear any and all replies to this.
I ride a bone stock fuel injected 2011 Fat Bob and I have noticed it is alot hotter than my carb'd 2006 sporty 1200 (V&H short shots with re-jet).
Yes I know the engine is bigger thus more heat, but I have been reading alot of posts referring to stock HD fuel injection being borderline TOO lean. This acquired info along with the noticeable difference in temp got me to pull the spark plugs and I was shocked at what I saw. They were a beautiful rich tan color as opposed to the near white I was expecting! Are my plugs lying to me? (rhetorical)
Could all of this simply be a case of "times are 'a changin" and "if it dont act like my old bike it must be wrong" -itis? Or did the 'ol HDMOCO not do its homework on this one?
I'm not a HD mechanic, nor do I play one on T.V. but what I'm hearing and what I'm seeing aren't telling the same story.
