  • Doc Harley from the Service Clinic at Low Country Harley-Davidson to help you with the health of your motorcycle! This week he talks about tuners- what questions to ask yourself and the pros/cons of different ones.
    We know there are other tuners out there. These are the tuners Doc has worked with and had available for filming. Like the video says - make sure you talk with your tuner/mechanic about what they are familiar with and able to work with before buying a tuner.

      Maybe you can answer this for me regarding a tuner. I have an 2009 Road King with Vance and Hines power duals, hi-output and screaming eagle high flow air intake. Is was tuned by Harley and ran fine. Now I just installed an S&S 551 cams, pushrods, lifters, oil pump with cam support plate. I tuned it with the V&H Fuelpack with their recommended mapping but is running rich on the rear cylinder and smoked out my left pipe. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

    I bought a 2020 and had a stage 4 kit put in before I got it, with the Harley tuner. The check engine light was constantly coming on. The dealership service department could not figure out what to do, they told me the Harley tuner wasn’t designed for tuning for max power and they recommended I take it to a Dyno tuner. The Dyno tuner told me it was a waste of money to try and tune with the new Harley tuner. So basically Harley took money for an upgrade and tuner that they don’t allow you to use full power. If you go to a tuner that allows you to use full power they flag my warranty. A $5000 “gotcha”from HD. Thanks for the explanation of how they work, very informative.

    Very well explained! Thanks a lot! My 04 Heritage had 2 mufflers installed, that werent ment for this bike, as it didn't use the interference pipe. So it was running terrible. I got stock us mufflers without the catalyst. Bike ran, as it should! Now as i sold it and got a honda fury, which the previous owner had the Powercommander V pfofessionalky installed and which has been tuned on a dyno by a professinal tuner, this bike runs soft and smooth with very little fuel consumption. I got all the documents and diagrams. As I have no clue about all this stuff, i highly recommend, not to tinker like a Teenager on a moped, but go to a professional tuner and let them do the work!

    Excellent advice! After initially changing to mild slip ons and the HD torque cam with the HD tuner I wasn't happy with the results. I did a lot of internet research and thought Thundermax might be the right solution. I ended up going to a local shop and he recommended the TTS tuner and explained why. I changed my setup to a D&D 2-1 pipe, Redshift 472 cam, bigger air cleaner, S&S manifold, etc and went with the recommended TTS tuner. The end result was a bike that runs great and suits my riding style. My takeaway was exactly what was suggested in this video, if you're changing your tune, talk to the person who will be doing the work, they know what works for them.

    I really enjoy hearing and seeing their guys with the exotic bikes. No doubt they are getting a lot out of their machines.
    I believe the design team contemplated most of what a bike could be subjected to by us consumers and planned accordingly. Here in Arizona, a guy could have a long walk if he needed help. Likewise, I have never asked a gunsmith to “improve” a firearm. Sometimes it is good to have dependability as a performance goal.

    @bigdawgqc 4 года назад +9

    For the DYI person, the DynoJet Powervision, ordered from Fuel Moto is the best way to go. They have many more bike, air cleaner/exhaust combo specific canned maps than the FP3. I ran the FP3 on my last two bikes & it's a great product. But not as robust as the Powervision & Fuel Moto gives an extra year of warranty & support is terrific. Just my opinion & experience.

    • @tealbagger
      @tealbagger 4 года назад +4

      I ran a Power Commander and FP3 on my FXDB and eventually went for the Powervision. When I bought my FXDLS the previous owner provided a TTS with it but still I cut the bs and went right for the Powervision this time like you said from FuelMoto. The unlimited map support alone is worth the money. PV is my goto recommendation for anybody regardless of how minimal they plan on going with their upgrades.

    I went with the ThunderMax....the cost of the TTS system plus to get the local dyno expert to tune my bike was very close to the cost of the ThunderMax. I did my research and installed it myself. No dyno required, and it is always searching for the correct fuel/air mixture for whatever conditions or altitude I'm at. From riding Beartooth Highway (14,000 ft) or on the coast it is in tune as opposed to the TTS where it "was in tune" the day you had it installed.

    The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637) is a United States federal law that governs warranties on consumer products. The Act also makes it illegal for companies to void a warranty or deny coverage under the warranty solely because an aftermarket or recycled part was used. An aftermarket part is defined as a part manufactured by a company other than the original vehicle manufacturer or original equipment manufacturer (OEM)

I loaded the generic Stage I, then used to VCI on a test ride, put the results back through the laptop software, its made some changes, I put it back to the bike, and it is running fantastic now, in fact I am shocked how well it is running. Also the V&H is tempting but only good for Stage I no tunes for Stage II.

    Doc , I have a 2013 FXDF 103 and a orange screamin eagle super tuner pro , screamin eagle air cleaner , Vance and Hines pipes and I think my idle is much to high , not happy the local tuner wont's $ 550 to tune it . I don't think so , my Evo is much easier , Quick Silver cab , points , 2 in to one S/ Steel pipes set and forget ( in the photo ) The Fat Bob is my first modern Harley and I'm not use to it yet . I sound like I'm complaining mybe I am , I was so excited when I bought it , I took the 1985 Evo out today and it said up yours and Died , flat battery and I live out in the country and yes I know . love your channel all the best from Down under

      Personally they're sub-standard at best. I "HAD" them in a 18 RGS with a Screamin Eagle Stage 3 build with FuelMoto Jackpot headers. Sound wise...I thought they sucked. Performance wise...eh. I used them plus the Pro Street tuner to stay in warranty and I got 114.3ft lb torque and 105hp. I just came out of factory warranty and installed the Vance & Hines Torquer 450 muffler and Zippers Redshift 468 cam and had it tuned using PowerVision. My numbers changed big time. I'm now pulling 134.97 lbs torque and 118hp. The Street Cannons are a Ford Pinto vs the V&H which are a Ford Mustang GT.

      Think of your engine as a big air pump which is restricting suction with the use of a stock A/C. Just because you add some sound doesn't mean you're pulling in more air. Exhaust only will change scavenging and may even hurt performance, probably not much if any depending on type.

    Warranty makes zero difference. Unless they proof your changes caused the issue they have to cover it. FTC slapped Harleys hand for deceptive warranty as they should. Failure analysis has distinctive failure Moses that are identifiable. This warranty is only as good as your dealership. This is why I only buy bikes from Family owned dealerships and avoid corporate owned Harley dealers. Bottom line since the FTC slapped Harleys hands with their warranty policies applications the game has changed.

      At the 2:15 mark he does start to address the issue of adding exhaust and an air cleaner. He then talks about needing a turner. However, I believe there is a less expensive option that he omits and that is the dealer downloading a possible map directly to the ECM. This is usually less costly than buying a tuner if H-D has created a map for the particular exhaust and air cleaner that you are using. Not sure why Doc didn't elaborate on this option.

    Being as a number of us up here in Minnesota have had to call Harley directly and start an argument about local dealers not wanting to warranty anything out. I'm not too worried about avoiding my warranty anymore. If you don't want to cover anything why should I be worried about it. I wasted a good chunk of change on a 7-year warranty and had to go through the Harley corporate office because local dealers would not warranty simple things.

I do most of my service on my own because of watching people like yourselves and years of watching the guys from Law Abiding Biker and Fix My Hog. I saved for a few years with lots of overtime to pay cash for my 2013 Dyna wide glide, 3in extras and a 7-year warranty. Then at my 3000 mi service I had purchased exhaust, intake and a screamin eagle tuner and stopped in to two dealerships and they both told me it would void my 7-year warranty on pretty much anything that was attached to the electrical and the motor/drivetrain. After talking with Harley-Davidson Corp one of the guys on the phone suggested I bring it to a Dyno shop that was a half mile from my house. I had heard of them at the time but thought they only worked on certain toys. Those guys were great at a great price and Harley Corp told me they would back them with any warranty issues 100%.

      That is partially true. They come with the auto tune feature to dial in your specific configuration on the bike. The neat thing is once you’ve completed the auto tune session(s) you can send it to V&H for them to polish that particular tune. Even better the customer service is great and if needed, they can look at your tune values in real time to see what’s going on while the bike is running. I have one and have played with these features already and love it.
