    Get a Thundermax ECU or similar or SE Race tuner etc, and have it remapped/tuned, your bike is running lean. There are hundreds of threads on the subject, try doing a search.

    The new bikes running lean is a government regulation problem but, they could supply a tuneable ECU with their bikes but then how would they rip us off ???? They can make and supply them as after market products but will they put them in their new bikes ?? I don't think so !!!! Harley would have us believe that they love their customers and so supply us with all the Hog magazines and other shit to make us feel part of their "so called" FAMILY ?? What a crock of shit that is, why don't they put spokes in their wheels that don't rust in 6 months and supply quality seats on their bikes from new and make master cylinders that don't leak and put some decent brakes on  etc,etc,etc. They certainly don't have a problem charging premium money for their bikes. I love my HOG but it has nothing to do with being part of the family, i just happen to love the style and feel of riding one and the simple design of the engine. Oh yeah, just for comparison, i also own a Triumph Speed Triple and Triumph have improved every aspect of their bikes from day one. I haven't bought a new one but i was told that a new bike comes with a complaint form for the owner to fill out and send back to Triumph so they can keep improving with each model. And they have. Whinge over.
