Active exhaust and the flap

Active Intake and the flap

[Tros]

Good afternoon Jacques.  Thanks for the pictures & info.  I didn't know about the intake flap either.   Are these exhaust & intake flaps only on the CVO models?

[bisounours]

Hello Tros,

The flap in the exhaust is on the Buell since 2 or 3 years.
Only the 2007 models, stock and CVO are mounted with the active system.

Our problem is when we wish to upgrade in Stage I ( Exhaust, A/C).
And we need that for to ride with a real HD (HP, torque and sound)
It seems that the only way is to put a ThundeMax with Autotune and to forget the warranty.
Actually we have not a SE Stage I US map for update our ECM.
With tyoe of map, we'll not have the management of DTC error codes because our flaps will be dismounted or disconnected.

So, I have a 2007 SERK with about 500 miles on it. Apart from the fact that it had some initial problems (gas gauge malfunction, main fuse to ECU blew), it has been OK. But is it the consensus of the group that to fix this excessive heat issue I need to change out the stock exhaust (to what,  like V & H duals?) and have the remapping download? Do I need to add a power commander or some other device like that? Will all of this really solve the problem? (my concern is that I do all of this and then the engine blows and I am told that the warranty is void because of the mods).

What to do???

I'me a relatively new member and I've been through the same thing as you are looking at. I posted a link yesterday about a guy who bought his wife a new HD RoadKing. Here's the link.

It's rather lengthy but to me, It was worth the time to read it. Especially the part about the anonymous person who emailed him. To me, some pretty informative writings. You may want to check it out! Good Luck!

all I've done to mine, is changed the mufflers(got a new set on ebay for $100 shipped)
just had the PCIII installed so the dealer could richen it up a bit.  should now run cooler. and my dealer will see to it that my warrantee is good.

Very interesting site.  I sent them my story about quality, excessice heat even with an oil cooler, and with a much higher price tag!

Which seller on E bays did you buy from?  There are several.  Which Mod did you select 1,2,3?  How does it sound?  Quality?

Thanks

 Too bad these upgrades can't be done before we buy, but we do end up with our own individual bike no matter how small the upgrade is. And sometimes we end up with not only a better looking machine, but a much better running one.

I was at my dealer today and asked about the "HOT" engine problem. SM said the update seems to help, but they do run lean. He said they can download sofware that will cut the ignition on the rear cyl. to fire only every four times while leaving the injector active if it overheats in traffic. The fuel will cool the cylinder. MOCO will pay to have the update installed, and if you don't like it, they will uninstall it one time. Anybody tried this?? Upstate NY, I'm a few weeks away from trying anything not having to do with snow.
 

[harleyteam]

your cheapest way around the lean and heat,, is what I did as stated above.

you can try the moco fix,  but think about it.  if the fuel is still pumping (and cooling-so they say)
where does that unburned fuel go???

It will put a nice fine slimy film all over the back of your bike.

I would imagine some of the unburned fuel from the non-firing cylinder would also end up getting past the rings and into the oil.

I think they shut the injector off so no fuel (burned or unburned) goes in at idle thus  no heat generated....sitting to long  head temp goes up from heat transfer from working cylinder and injector comes back on and makes fuel squirt and cool again   or so there   wackey  idea  is supposed to work.  I dunno  but   rube goldberg  and the game mouse trap come to mind.... and that squrriel  in the cage  too....   things to think of at a stop lite in the south maybe?
