[Old Harley Dude]

Dustingaunder,

I agree. Steve knows what he is doing.  The problem is I have a setup with 2-3" funneled cores (CFRs) that he has not had any time on a dyno. I am currently running a map he sent me a few days ago but it still is not dialed in.

Old Harley Dude,

I've used Will up at Pokerville Ironworks in Blue Mounds, WI for all my work.  He has a Dyno guy that he uses on the east side of Madison that he swears by.  Call up Will at 608-437-2453, or stop by his Trailer at Quaker Steak and Lube on Wednesday nights and tell him I sent you to him.  I've got the only 2010 FLHXSE that he's worked on, so he'll know who you're talking about.  Otherwise, you can send me an email off line if you want to talk further.

He's a great guy and really will work hard to keep your business.

Mike

  Thanks Mike.  I'll give him a call.  OHD

Has anyone else had problems with the gauge nuts coming loose and falling out of the fairing?  I had 3 of them laying in the cover that is just below the fairing above the fork sliders. This piece is the color matched piece I have no clue what it is called.  Anyway, I took it in today and they said that there was another one missing and that every single gauge nut was loose.  I had them blue loc-tite them all back in place and they replaced the missing nut.  I love my dealer, but the people that built my bike have more than pissed me off a little.

Read through this and it might answer the question about the sixth gear light. Doc

                                                   http://onlyharley.net/2010_model.pdf

From the PDF:
•Upgrading to helical 5this Not Retrofitable
–Results of upgrading to the helical 5thgear
•Vehicle Speed slower than indicated by speedometer
•The 6thgear light may not function correctly
•No plan for new calibration

That is a warning against upgrading an earlier transmission to the new 5th gear.

Has anyone gotten any answer on why the 6th gear light works intermittently and the cruise control quits when the light goes out?

Here's a new one...how about the license frame wires rubbing against the rear tire!  That's right, nothing between the wires and the rear tire, found out when I put on the new Kuryakin frame.  Classic!

I can understand that.

I decided that when I did the Kury frame I would reroute the wire over to the right tail light and make a small wiring harness with a zip tie.

I just am not comfortable with the stock wire route as you are/were OR with that cover box with a long screw in it. I have visions of the stud going through my rear tire.

They way I read it, it applies to non oem gears or transmissions.
My 6th gear light does not work.

Before you get too excited, see if it continues to work every time for a significant amount of time, such as weeks or months.  It's pretty rare for something to fix itself permanently; much more likely that a poor connection started making better contact due to something moving.  If that's the case, and that something moves again, you could be back to square one.  Fortunately, it's a pretty simple circuit so tracing it shouldn't be a huge deal, even for a Harley shop.

Now Jerry, you know these CVO scooters are MAGIC.  Ya just got them negative vibes going and that's only going to inject the reality that'll kill the magic.  har.  spyder

  You have to ride it fast enough? 

[Badger Mike]

My bike is driving me crazy   The cruise control cuts out on its own, the 6th gear light goes out at the same time.  My left blinker doesn't work, and all the while that we have been going back and forth with the dealer on these issues they NOW inform me that my clutch pin was broken somehow during the 1000k maintenance.

I wonder if any of the other electrical problems have anything to do with some bad wiring in the left side handlebar?  The dealer has been blaming all the electical problems on the Power Commander, and Power Commander keeps telling them that there is no way their system can be causing these problems

I just want to ride...

[michaelbmenaker]

The short in the left turn signal is a known issue (I had it too)...can't say much about the rest. However, highly unlikely it's the Power Commander.
However, that's why I chose a Pro SERT and had the dealer do the dyno tune. No way to point fingers.

with all that I have read here about the SESG,  I'm glad I held on to my 04.    hmmm,,,  no issues...what do I do now?
