tfi

O.K. I hope this isn't a dumb question. Where are most of you installing the TFI, under the seat? If so, then it sounds like you set the pod's, put the seat on, take it for a ride, remove the seat, change the pods, replace the seat, and take it for another ride. Is this the only way to find the right settings???

I installed my under the seat and run wires along the main harness to under the fuel tank.

Basically yes, you'll have to remove the seat on each run to make some adjustment and on my bike,remove the seat take roughly 10-15 seconds.

On most bike, the chart that came with the kit is very close to "set it and forget it" if you know what came with yours, I bought my bike used and I did not know if mine has been remap from the first owner or not so I have to play with it to get it where I wanted it.

The best part about the TFI is you can tune/retune your bike what and whenever you like, if you want to put on another set of pipes or different air cleaner later on, all you have to do is remove the seat, pop the cover off and it's right there, tune it 'till you want it without return to the dealer and pay for them to do it.

The TFI comes with a list of recommened setting ,in most cases they are the ones you will go with.
However there are times when different mixes of parts and riding style rider may want to adjust these settings.
For the most part once you have it set unless you make some changes to your bike you do not mess with it any more.

Easiest way is to use a piece of the stick on velcro and put it on the dash or air cleaner cover until the adjusting is done. Run all the wires and such but leave the excess at the units end of the wires so when you are done you make a nice bundle and another piece of velcro and attach it permanent under the seat.There's enough length in the harness to do that.

I have the new HD super tuner and screamin eagle breather on my 09 ultra. It is still running HOT. Would i do any good installing the TFI also?

smitty901

first all Big Vtwin air cooled engine get hot. Thats ok they can handel it.
The most important thing you can do to reduce engine temps and protect it is get some QUIALTY 100% true sny engine oil in it and some 100% true sny gear lube in the tranmission. (SNY 3 is not one of them)
You already have a fuel manager the super tuner so no reason to change to a TFI.
