Hi There,
I have an 08 Nightrods special that I recently did a couple of mods to.
Firstly I went semi topless (removed the snorkel) and drilled 6 holes around each of the baffles.
The bike was sounding sweet and running pretty well. (lost a little power but nothing major).
This bike is pretty much standard apart from a Screamin Eagle Race tuner.
I decided to put it in to be dynoed and make sure it is tuned into the mods and went to pick it up and I think they have wrecked my bike.
Firstly they took the airbox cover off (without being asked to) and it now sounds like a drowning cow and secondly what ever they have done makes it idle like (EDIT) and the power feels like it has gone backwards.(although the dyno report says it has gone from 77.38 to 82.73 of torque and max power from112.37 to 119.68.
That certainly does not feel like the case when I rode it.
The bike coughs and splutters and wont idle without being revved...
At this point, I am not going to mention the name of the dealer (as they tell me it will be fixed).
Is this a normal problem, I would have thought that spending $300 on a dyno tune should have the bike running nicely.
Any feedback or recomendations would be appreciated.
Cheers
Chris
