Answers:
- i did put new louder mufflers on it but other than that no mods. was told by a harley mechanic that mufflers wouldnt affect it only if i repiped it and put an air cleaner kit on. and yes its still under warranty i wanted to see what you guys had to say so i could tell them hacks at the dealership some things to look for. they dont seem to have a clue.

- sorry can't give any info on FI bikes if it were carbed I would tell you to change the low speed jet but all 08s are fuel injected so? By: greybeard77 on: 6-5-2009
- thanks to all who helped me with this problem i truly appreciate your time. oh and poster #5 go fuck yourself By: roymech427 on: 6-8-2009
- First off he said he changed the MUFFLERS and not the entire PIPES....secondly all the EFI model harleys i have owned dont run a manual choke....its all done thru the open/closed loop system controlled by the compter.....you gave him good advice if it was carb and not EFI By: lucifer2005 on: 6-11-2009
- poster #10 could you pm me with more details i think you may be onto something.........thank you.....roymech By: roymech427 on: 6-12-2009
- Guests can't use the PM feature. By: 47Knuckle-Dragger on: 6-13-2009
- Private Message feature. A PM is a message between 2 members that is hidden from public viewing. Being a "Guest" leaves you with limited access to BNN features. Only takes a few minutes to create an actual membership here and post with a member ID. A membership here requires nothing more than a valid e-mail address to confirm you're interest.

- i will be running it in to the dealer i bought it from in mid august i will let you guys know how it goes thanks all for the help By: roymech427 on: 6-25-2009
- first all i can't tell if it's FI or carb. if carb it's not adjusted right. if FI you need a power commander if this has been done then you need to dyno and have peramerters rechecked, it's also possable you got a bad icu or power commander. i HAVE FOund a power commander better suited the harley's icu for pipes By: ecsjr1 on: 6-30-2009
