CVO FuelPak??? Or??
« on: January 12, 2009, 06:30:18 PM »
Hi
We just purchased a 09 CVO (110) Softail Springer (Cobalt Blue). Just added V&H Big Radius exhaust,. Have not driven it due to SNOW.

?? is Anyone running the FuelPak on their bike?? Looking for feedback....

Confused as what to get, we will not be doing any further engine mods....

As you may know the 09's come w/ the Heavy Breather AC.....


Thanx

Any suggestions????

Like I said we are going to stick to just the pipe swap on this bike for once ;)

Thats why someone mentioned the FuelPak was sufficient??????
I know they had a bad Rap a couple yrs back, but supposedly have improved/corrected ???

I am not 100% sure but I heard that the fuel pak is only good for over 4000 RPMs and does nothing for the closed loop as far as fuel goes but I could be all wrong, only going by what I have seen and read.  Doc

I used the fuel pak on a '96 inch engine on a street glide and it did fine for what i was trying to accomplish, which was change pipes, let it breathe, up the mileage and COOL IT DOWN!!!!  It was on an '08 so it ran really hot stock.  I put on a big sucker, VH true dual head pipes, rush mufflers, and the fuel pak and it did fine.  I had no problems at all with the fuel pak.  I have no experience with it on the 110's.

This is what I was told by the service mgr at my local HD shop. They did my work when I put on new pipes and a big breather. The Fuel tuner is not the answer. The Screaming Eagle Race Tuner adjust the Fuel and the timing through your ECM. A Power Command can do almost the same thing. However if you ever do any other modifications you will need to get the Race Tuner then. This installed and Dino tested will help you prevent headaches later.

Real quick, the Fuel Pak is for adding fuel only, it only gives you carb type adjustsments.  PC or SERT not only lets you add fuel but also take it away where needed.  So if you are going to invest the money way go halfway?  Just my 2 cents

But on carb bikes, you also were able to manually adjust the timing, and with some ignitions, program your own curve. With FI, you need access to the ECM for that, besides AFR adjustment. Those fuel only adjustment devices on a FI bike are mostly useless if you're looking for a correct tune IMO. ;)

Look at it this way, for the small difference in cost between the Fuel Pak and a real tuning device like a PC, it makes no sense to invest in the Fuel Pak.  As one of those folks who said "I don't intend any mods, so all I need is a cheap DFO", I can relate to you that while it worked "OK", the PCIII I installed a year later worked much better and gives me the latitude for future tuning without further investment in hardware.  Save the price of the Fuel Pak and just get a real tuning device.

I would really like to know if the fuel-pak does anything in the closed loop mode?  Thanks Doc

You may call Vance and Hines tech support.  I understand they're very helpful.
