    Has anybody had any heat and clutch fade problems , bike is a 09 Fatbob,sespt,se 204cams,se heavy breather,d&d fatcat,se clutch spring have had bike dyno tuned and got 90.4hp /103.6ftlbs torque but still stumbles and appears to fuel up just off idle .Was in heavy traffic on Sunday and bike seemed to get very hot inside of legs burning hot then clutch lever started to get excessive play in it , only got worse to the point where engine started to over ride clutch couldnt get out of gear and bike stalled , this happened a couple of times beore I found somewhere to stop and let cool down .After cooling down check clutch operation was back to normal slight play in lever so limped home ,bike has under 2000ks on it and will have to get it back to a dyno to get stumble sorted out any thoughts on problem would be appreciated.

    Scotty as far as I know tuned but will ask them on Tuesday and see what they say.Retsurht who did you get to do yours , I am a motor mechanic by trade for 20 years have worked on and tuned many injected cars over the years but my hands are tied at the moment until I set my self up at home as no software supplied with sespt and first injected harley, thanks for your input.

    Thanks for the info. Retsurht I thought the problem might of had something to do with the tune causing excessive heat that caused my clutch to overheat.Was down at wintersun when this happened and loosing the clutch in the traffic sucked will see what the clowns that tuned it say ,if I get no joy from them will check out Doc at Custom Central.Will be buying another bike near the end of the year so will check out what parts you have for sale when I start next project.Thanks Rowdy
