New in SC area
« on: January 07, 2007, 09:32:36 AM »
Got my First SE Ultra model in between Christmas and New Years.  This is my 3rd HD and looking forward to many miles on this bike.  Looking to do a Stage I once the 500 miles are on the bike. Any advice on how to keep it out of the dealership and on the road would be great.  I read alot about the 110 engine in the Ultras here on this site, are having problems.  Sure doesn't give that warm and fuzzy feeling for the trips I have planned over the next year.
Thanks,
TimBone

Tim,
Congrats on the arrival of your new scooter. Welcome to the site, we are glad to have you join us. You will find a great bunch of members here that will be more then willing to answer questions, offer advice, and assistance. We also have been known to help members spend money on their bikes also. ;D

Sounds like you've already started doing your homework and know of some of the problems that are being experienced by the 110's. Keep reading what the other owners are doing, and what you need to look out for so you can have many fun and safe miles on your new bike.

TimBone,

Welcome to the site.

You've got a great bike there, but then again I'm biased because I've got the same one, color and everything.

My advice is, do the stage one now and richen up the bike ASAP. They do run hot, and getting some extra fuel to the motor will help a lot.

I left here yesterday for my first real ride on the bike. It had only 32 miles on it. I got home with 313 miles on it. I really like it and think the MoCo really made some great improvements since my 99 FLHTC was born.

Man, this thing really wants to run, and that 6th gear Woo Hoo. Man, is that sweet!!!

Enjoy your bike and hide your wallet, because this place will get you spending your loot real fast.

Timbone, Welcome to the site and good looking steed. No problems with my 110. Runs great and a real improvement over the 04 seeg. Best advice to give you is get the restrictive mufflers off asap. I did mines within 200 miles and never a heat issue or any other issue like some here are having. Goodluck [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Tim, welcome to the site.  You'll learn everything that you ever wanted to know about CVO's or your model in particular.  That happens to be my favorite color of the 07's......got to see them up close at Sturgis this past Aug.

I also took the liberty of re-sizing your photos so that it can be easily seen.  The ideal size for viewing is 800x600 (or vica versa, if it's an up and down pick).  Congratulations on the new ride.

Welcome TB. Spend a couple of hours going back thru the topics form the last 4 months. You should get a real good idea of what's going on and what's best to do to the '07s. Good luck with the new scoot! ;) Hoist!  8-)

Welcome aboard!!
I think it is a little early to be calling the 110 troublesome....
There is a few things that need to be "optimized" by us.
As suggeseted earlier, get the intake and exhaust to breathe better, richen up the mixture and if you still need more power, there is lots of people working on the perfect cam/head combo!!

Brad,

I'm glad the automotive folks don't think that way - can you imagine having to re-tune your new 4 wheeled vehicle to keep it from melting down?  I somehow think that manufacturer would be out of business rather quickly.

BTW - I don't think you can blame the EPA regs for these TC110 engine issues.  The regs for '07 are the same as those for '06.  Put the blame squarely where it belongs, the MoCo.
