Got The Bike Back Today

Some may recall I posted about High oil pressure. Always running at 60 PSI.
Well they had also done a tune on it and my fuel mileage was 35 highway. Took it to another dealer and they did a stage 11 Harley download over riding the SE tune. I had told the dealer who did the SE tune about it. Well, last week they asked if they could look at the issue of the tune and also do the recall on the stop switch.
They then also got concerned again about the high oil pressure, especially when they started checking into it. They drained the oil at the engine sump and got 18 oz of oil when they should have only gotten 6-8 oz of oil. Crankcase was sumping, pulled the cam compartment and found the oil pressure relief valve was sticking. They polished the valve and valve chamber then cleared out all passages. They inspected the crank run out .007". Found a o-ring that had a edge partially lifted and replaced it. Installed new spring. Tested with mechanical gauge and motor at 210 F oil pressure at idle was 20 PSI and at full throttle under power 50 PSI. HP 88 and torque 104. Bike runs good and sounds really good. They tested the fuel mileage and said its in the 40's. So all is good now.

Yep, they did good

When I was in electronics school many years ago I had to take a class called machine language. It's the language a programmer would input into the system so that the computer would understand the commands. Boy you talk about confusion, not the computer but me. I was just about as lost as JB is with his carb.:roflmao:

I remember those punch cards but I wasnt in college
I was in junior high LOL

Sumping causes the engine flywheels to drag in oil
and kills power and your mileage.

glad they found the issue, yep you should be in 40's easy.

Got 44 the other day on my 110, granted I was
taking it easy, on the interstate at 80 it gets about 38
so I'll do a little mapificatioin in that zone.

Great thing about EFI tuning with the right
app and some work you can work specific
areas and improve power and mileage

Hard to do that with a carb

Good to here they fixed it , long after your cross caounty trip , but fixed non the less , did you ask why they wanted to recheck into it after all this time ?

Because they found out I took it to another dealer and had em download a stage 11 download over the top of their first Dyno tune that was no good. They didn't realize then about the sumping issue. But they, sure worked hard on it to make it right.

Retuned it with the SE tuner and now that it's no longer sumping should be good.

OlBill said it sounds crisp. Felt close to the stage 2 download. If I were to do it all over again I would not do the SE tune but would just do the stage 2 download. Did the trip around the country with just the Stage 2 download and the bike ran really good. Not trying to be like JB where I need to get that 1-2 more HP out of it.

You could wind up with a bad tune from a bad tuner while on a dyno. He could set it to lean. Happened to me once on a 03 bagger I had.

That sounds about the right price. No labor charge is really good. I know several including olBill that have just the stage 1 download and they are happy with it.
