Title: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: rodgersd on October 16, 2010, 04:21:13 AM
Just picked up my black and orange Street Glide today. I'm from Australia and owner's manuals were not shipped with the bikes and just hoping you guys can tell me what the recommended tyre pressure is for the front and rear.  I had a Road King but guessed that because of the 19" front wheel the pressures would be different.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dean
Congrats on picking up the new ride - I pick up my new CVO next Thursday - I've also bee informed that the owners manuals did not arrive & will follow up later.
All the best
Glen.

Hi Dean & Glen,

I'm in the same boat as you guys. Picked up my 2011 Black Cvo Street Glide about 2 weeks ago (no manual supplied and dealer is waiting for shipment).

Running 36 psi in front & 40 psi in the rear (solo riding).

How are you guys coping with the "hot foot syndrome to the right leg" due to the catalytic converter in the header pipe?

Waiting for my new V&H Power duels and hi output slip ons. Dealer has also talked me into getting the SE Pro 110 Performance upgrade kit (page 24 of SE catalogue, due in on 25th October).

Rudy T, I am about to pick up my CVOSG next week from Frasers in Newcastle.  How bad is the heat issue on the right foot?  I am trading my 2010 Road King classic in that also obviously had the cat in the same location and no heat probs whatsoever.  Is it really that much worse on the 110?  I have also heard that our bikes are tuned differently to the US makes and run richer and cooler (when stock).  Also no need for a SERT, that the ECM will handle the pro tuner and high flows OK?  Any comments guys.  Also!!!!!! :worthless:

I've gone for the V&H high output slip ons, race tuner & decent dyno tune - My shop tells me not to bother with the power duels unless I start chasing more power with cams etc. Will report on any undue heat if the issue arises - My dealer assured me that I'll not have the same issues as our brethren in the US as the bike are in a different state of tune.

Cheers
Glen

PS - a few pics of the bike awaiting me at the dealer - slips ons fitted - they appear very open - the sound is tops.

Yep , I took delivery of my FLHXSE about  2 weeks ago and same deal - no owners manual!
But for the PD the guys at the bike shop  had ut 36psi front and 39psi rear and the bike feels OK so far . Safe riding!

Hey Glen, these pipes look awesome ! Hope they sound as good as they look!
I really liked the look of the original pipes on my bike , but it sounded way too tame.
I got Peter Turner at Motorcycle Exhaust Professionals in Brisbane to modify the original pipes for a nice deep rumble and that true Harley sound. He did a great job on them , albeit that they are bit louder than I normally run , and the cost was significantly less.
It would be great to see how you go with your pipes after a few longer runs.
Safe Riding.

Dave

Hey Dave
My father in law used Peter Turner to modify his stock exhausts on his softail deluxe - he did a great job - I highly recommend this guy - Looking forward to picking up the bike this Thursday & trying those pipes out.
Cheers

As you know the weather has not been that hot in Sydney lately. After about 10 mins of riding I can feel my right calf getting uncomfortably hot. I'm only wearing my normal riding shoes and not high leather boots. Still this heat issue never arose on my 15th Anniversary Fatty (it didnt have a cat in the exhaust period).

Dealer is fitting the V&H High Output slip on's tomorrow (like Glen's in the photos). Still waiting for my Power Duals to arrive at the end of month. Hopefully that will solve the "hotfoot syndrome".

Good news, my bike manual has arrived at the dealer today.

Hey Rudy, once you get out on the road with just the slip ons, can you give us a feel for the heat  as well as the performance issues.  I would dearly like to get away with only fitting the H/O slips ons and no other mods (after $46K!!), but am keen not to do any damage in terms of lean running, but also see if the heat issue goes away.

Lance

Post by: Dave H on October 19, 2010, 02:08:42 AM
Guys I also felt the hot right calf affect  when I first picked up my bike, but made the assumption that some of the heat was radiating through the metal of the air filter cover (?) , as it was getting pretty warm to touch.
But now I have the "new" pipes on that Peter Turner modified for me, the heat is not as bad. I haven't touched the Cat in the header pipe.
I went for a 350km run yesterday , and I didn't notice the  hot right leg at all!
 It was a fantastic day to ride , clear blue sky and about 24 degrees with a light SW breeze.
It does get much warmer up here in QLD so I will let you know how it goes as summer sets in.
I will post a couple of picks of my pipes in the next day or so , and try to show the new baffles. The pipes externally are the original equipment , but  you cant see the core pipe as easy . But they sound great!!!
They still don't look as good as Glens pipes though!!!! They are awesome !! ;D

Post by: lance100 on October 19, 2010, 05:05:32 AM
Guys, if you want a set of pipes like Glen's, you can get them through M&M cycles in the US for $509 US, which with our $ so high, is a pretty good deal.  Maybe not as cheap as Pete in Brisbane, but a pretty good deal for the that quality of H/O slip ons!

Title: Re: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: Dave H on October 19, 2010, 05:27:09 AM
Thanks for the info Lance , I'll have a look at M&M Cycles.
As you say with $ value at the moment the price is right.
Cheers
Title: Re: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: glenpick on October 19, 2010, 05:27:38 AM
Was going to buy the pipes through the US until my dealer told me that I would immediately void my warranty if they were not supplied & fitted by the local dealer - I found no point in arguing any further as they were adamant that a voided warranty would be the outcome - that's part of the reason i did not get the power duels - I'll await the warranty to be over & then buy them - I wonder if owners in the US get the same hassle? I offered to supply all the parts to my dealer so that they could fit them & conduct the dyno tune - but the same steely response was given.

Sucks big time as I had to pay $999 for the same pipes. Yes I got a discount but.......

Will be interesting to see how Harley new prices will hold given the US / AUS $$ parity. Should we still pay $46K here for the same CVO Street Glide???

On the heat issue - my dealer has also fitted the race tuner in conjunction with the HO slip ons & dyno tuned the bike - according to the dealer there is now no issue with the bike running lean & should mostly eliminate the heat issue - the ability to alter the fuel curve via the race tuner via the dyno tune is the key here.
There are issues in fitting the slip ons only without the race or similar tuner i.e power commander, V&H fuelpack.

All will be revealed in 2 days when I finally pick mine up.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Glen

Post by: Dave H on October 19, 2010, 05:33:42 AM
Mate that would be a bummer if the warranty was voided.!
And I wonder what the freight from the US would be , maybe when you weigh that up the $990 odd you paid isnt too bad!
I cant imagine Harley Oz making too much of a price adjustment even tho AUD$ is strong.
Title: Re: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: lance100 on October 19, 2010, 05:59:56 AM
Guys, freight on my last shipment of V&H slips ons for my Road King last year was approx $95.  So in essence around $600ish landed.  My dealer was happy for me to get them from the US and did not void warranty on my last bike and it would be the same now with the HO slip ons. :orange:  To say that if you get them in from the US will void the warranty (exactly what they do) is a bit rich I think!!

Forgot to add, I originally enquired about the Power Duals, H/O slips ons and the race tuner (including cable kit to laptop, CD ROM and tuner training CD)- $1598 all up delivered from M&M! We get ripped!

Very true that we get ripped Lance - my quote for exactly what you were quoted below was an even $3000. My price also included fitting & the dyno tune but geez this hurts!!
Anyways that the price of ownership we pay here.

Guys, can anyone answer the question - if i just fit H/O slip ons and no tuner or headers, will it damage the bike (run too lean)?
Title: Re: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: Dave H on October 21, 2010, 05:33:18 AM
Hi Lance. Mate I can't  answer that question , I just dont much about that sort of thing. I would ask my mechanic if I were you . I am lucky to have a great mechanic up here in QLD , but he is hols until the end of next week, but I can ask him when he returns.
I think that V&H have a question and answer section on their website ? Have a look there.

Picked up my bike today - fairly warmish day - as you know I have the V&H high output slip ons, race tuner with base map (bike will be dyno tuned once it goes in for the first service @ 1600kms) - gotta say I had no issues with heat at all compared to other high capacity twins I have owned. Spent 20 minutes in heavy traffic getting home - no discomfort at all.

Hope this helps answer a few questions. Still awaiting my owners manual - not in as yet. I had no idea all the goodies that came with the bike - leather backpack & booker holder, CVO bike cover, Jiffy stand, cleaning kit, gold key, tshirts, key rings, pins, ripper tool kit, plus other stuff I cant remember - all gratefully accepted. Other guys were picking up their stockers at the same time - wasnt good me picking mine up at the same time - many envious faces. :cucumber: :bananarock: :orange:

Hey Glen, congrats on the pick up mate.  I get mine this afternoon (still stock exhaust).  Will see how it goes and will order the slip ons/tuner etc over the next week or so (once 'she who must be obeyed' gets over the initial sticker shock of the bike purchase!).  Like the accessories line up - I am assuming this is the standard deliverable for all Aussie models.  How does the bike sound with the V&Hs? :2vrolijk_21:

Are you going to the national HOG rally at Mt Buller in December - if so I will keep an eye out for you?

Post by: glenpick on October 21, 2010, 05:05:22 PM
Hey Lance
Seems we will all be picking ours up in a similar times frame. The pipes just sound great with a real meaty bark - hope the sphincter police like the sound also! To be honest I'm very overwhelmed with it in my garage - I'd been saving for 5 years to buy a stock street glide (only way to get approval from the minister for war & finance) but never thought I'd be in a position to get this grand bike.

I work most weekends but am aiming to be at the Hog rally - would be good to catch up.
Life is indeed good
Cheers

Hi Dave

I got the V & H Hi Outputs fitted with SE race tuner and I love the deep rumble. 800 klms on the clock now, so its run in according to the manual. Bike goes great. Still waiting for the SE upgrade kit to arrive and the V&H Power Duels (bike is booked in for 1st November - advised about 4 days turnaround).

Still get the "burning inner right calf" when riding, even short distances. Feet ok, knee ok, leg ok but very hot inner right calf (it's easy to spot me riding on the road, I have to keep sticking my right leg out like Rossi to let it cool). Sure hope the V&H Power Duels solve this issue.

Recommended retail price ride away in the Sydney metro area is $47,250 for the CVo Street Glide (if you got it cheaper, dont tell the wife and spend the extra on the upgrade kit like me). These motors are "sleeping giants and can be woken up" with minor mods as in the SE booklet (page 24 bottom left side).

Getting back on topic...............

I had great wear on my last set of Dunlops running the max pressure listed on the tires 42 rear, and 41 front.

I use the Dyna Beads for balancing, got just under 15k on the front tire. Center was still good, outer sides of the tire were worn out. The rear had just a tick under 14k on it. Still had probably 3 - 4k left on it, but it was cupped so bad I decided to replace it when I did the front.

Post by: lance100 on October 23, 2010, 03:26:35 PM
Guys, just starting the run in process.  You doing anything in particular or just normal riding?  I have always run in my standard Harleys as follows:

1.  Get it warmed up and then start in in 3rd or 4th with 3 to 4 runs from 2000 rpm to 4000 rpm and let it back of back to 2000 rpm or so and then do it again.
2.  Do this through the gears up and until you are well over the legal limit and then you naturally have to back off.
3.  No cruise at constant rpm until the 500 mile mark
4.  Around town nothing over 3rd gear and just ride it normally

Fair approach with this engine as well do you think? :2vrolijk_21:

I am running 40psi in the front and 42psi in the back.

Post by: Wheelsnkeels on October 23, 2010, 06:30:57 PM
The rings will seat in the first 20 miles unlike what the dealer will tell you they need to be run hard in this period to seat properly. I run mine to redline right from delivery to seat the rings properly. No steady speed ro cruise control in the initial 500 miles.

For general reference any low rpm lugging the motor in this period is a major no no!

If they do not seat properly in the initial period they will remain that way.

Change the oil at 500 miles and stick to Synthetic I prefer Redline fluids but not siure what you have available?

Title: Re: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: lance100 on October 23, 2010, 06:51:16 PM
Wheels, thanks mate.  I usually run them hard initially for that exact reason (up to 4500rpm) but not to the redline.  No lugging (got that)!

Lance

Boys added a few photo's as well.  Altered the back of the Aussie version with that ugly red tail light.  Put on the HD black LED and removed the reflector - makes it a bit more reasonable!  Will add a few more.

Guys, went ahead and ordered the V&H HO slips ons and the tuner yesterday.  For the additional outlay, do you thing the power duals or another set of headers is worth the money in terms of making an additional significant improvement over just the tuner and the SERT (or is it another way of getting rid of the CAT).  Lance

Thanks for the heads up on the SE book - I'll chase this up with the dealer - I'm a Melbourne boy - great riding weather here yesterday but I had to work. I think I'm the only based se2 owner around at present as 5 bikes (3 orange, 2 crimson) were delivered to the dealer but all others are still sitting on the floor sold but not delivered.

Hi Lance
I went exactly the same route- I let the dealer talk me out of the power duels & in retrospect should of just had them fitted so the bike was delivered complete in my mind. the dealer said I did not need them at this stage but in my opinion now in my mind the bike is not complete. The veteran view here is that they make a huge difference.
Cheers

Glen, many thanks mate.  For the extra $400 (what they cost delivered from the US), it is worth it I think!  Lance

Glen, how is your system performing on the bike?  The V&H slips ons too loud or OK for you at cruising speed?  Lance

Hey Lance
Have only done 150 Kays since picking her up but love this system - sounds great but not overly loud which is what I was after. Can easily hear the stereo over the exhaust when doing 100 kms on the highway. Just love it - incredible bike all round.

Hi Guys
Got some days off so I have got in some good short rides in good weather. I now have 1400km on the clock and the first service is  booked in next week. Think I will go for some  V&H power duals and HO slipons and a tuner. Mainly trying to reduce the right thigh heat. I have only noticed this on the last couple of rides with the temperature over 29 degrees, but since I  live in QLD this will only get hotter!
No other problems at all!
These bikes are awesome. !!
I tried to add some photos but think they were too big ? Will try again with lower pix.
Safe riding Guys

good to see a few aussie cvo owners out there, pity we have to pay about 10k more than the us , but ,,,,, as another infamous aussie once said. " such is life"
pick mine up in about two weeks, not the glide but a softail convertible, have yet to see one in the flesh , again similar issues will arrive especially the exhaust, love the look of the standard exhaust ,
will have a chat to chris at harley city to see what he recomends, its a toss up between looks and grunt, have been done to msny times on the fxstc for noise , should have a quick release on the slip ons.

The softail convertible will be a great bike I'm thinking - you must be a Melb lad, so we should meet at Highway 31 once you take delivery so I can take a look.
Cheers

This is my first Harley so I am not a hog member. I have filled out paperwork at the dealership, so should see something about hog membership soon

as much as i would like to attend this rally, it is my bussiest time of the year being a retailer, i cannot make it,
done an awful lot of rallies though,
glen what chapter are you joining , i am in oz hog melbourne since 96

maybe us aussie owners should start a separate cvo group ride once a month :bananarock:

Am in sales myself so am also gearing up for a busy period. Have not given any thought about a Hog chapter so the Melb chapter will do me fine. Some frequent gatherings for us Oz CVO owners is a mighty fine idea.
Cheers
Glen

Guys, it will also be a close thing for me to get there after returning from OS, but I will try.  I like the idea of the CVO riders getting together on a semi regular basis.  There may be an opportunity to do that early next year.  Our HOG chapter (Broadmeadow) is hosting the NSW state HOG rally from 22 to 25 April 2011 here in Newcastle.  That might be an opportunity for us to host a number of CVO riders as well if your schedules permit.  Link to our site with details of the rally attached:

Hi Guys .
Just had my 1600km service done and fitted V&H Power duals and High Ouput Slip-ons fitted  and a tune with a  PC5 . What a difference !! I thought this SESG was  awesome before , but now its even better. Right thigh heat issue completely resolved too !! .  :pepper:  :pepper:

Title: Re: Tyre pressure for 2011 CVO Street Glide
Post by: Dave H on November 11, 2010, 06:41:32 AM
Lance the power difference is quite noticable. The bike just breathes better and the accelleration is "crisper" ,with no hesitation and linear all the way to red line. Mate I will post a few pics over weekend .
I think I will get a good dyno tune , but I have to travel about an hour and a half to do this , so just need to organise a day off.
The bigg difference is the decrease in heat from the rear cylinder.
Its sounds great - a real deep rumble - and you can still hear the stereo at cruise on highway , but I would rather listen to the glorious Harley rumble!  :2vrolijk_21:

Hey Dave
You're the colonial trailblazer with those mods - based on your positive news I'll definitely be fitting the power duels at 1600 kms. I see you have fitted a PC5 - was this fitted by your dealer? My stealer was adamant I would void my warranty if I went this route - I had no choice but to fit a HD race tuner for 700 clams, but that included the dyno tune at 1600kms when the girl is somewhat broken in.
Cheers
Glen

Hi Glen , (and others)
Mate that's a good question about voiding the warranty and the definitive answer is - YES , thats right , fitting the PC5 technically voids the drive train warranty.
However I have an extremely good relationship with my dealer ( Bundaberg Motorcycles  :2vrolijk_21: ).
This is the 5th Harley I have purchased from them and I think last count my 8th bike ( I also like Triumphs  :) ) in 6 years.
When we discussed this issue they said technically the PC 5 voids the warranty , but because I am a long term and regular customer , and because they do ALL my mechanical work etc. they would always look after me.
I made the decision to take their word - they have never let me down in the past - and go ahead with the PC 5 instead of the SE unit . The PC5 gives a lot more options in the future and is easier to set up ( ? )
I will give a big plug now for the team and BUNDABERG MOTORCYCLES  :2vrolijk_21:
These guys are by far the best dealer I have dealt with ! They follow through with any enquires and always deliver on their promise . Thats been my experience anyway! So this was my personal decision and I am a very happy customer.
Dave
ps pics to follow ( hopefully )
