Well, I am the one that originally started this and happy to see that others are checking it out and telling their story. I recently got mine back from the dealership (there were two there with the same problem). The fix was sent by the MoCo on a flash module and I actually saw the module. It had SE Race Flags on it! Not sure what was in the module but the bike seems to run better throughout the band.
The dealership told me that the MoCo had told them "if this doesn't work, we will authorize a Race Tuner kit". At that point I was hoping it wouldn't but it seems to have solved the problem. This was the 5th visit to the shop and I am happy to be done with it. I agree Magic1 is very lucky to get an RT for free, I have one for my SERK and love it.
Hope everyone is getting the same kind of support I am!
Cheers,  [smiley=drink.gif]

Call HD yesterday to complain about the cold idle and performance issue when cold really got no where except that he gave me a ref# and said have the dealer call.  Well call the service manager today and gave him the ref# and he said he would call tech support and maybe they would get back to him in a few days.  Well about 2hrs after I talked to the service manager he calls back and says they have a fix coming and sould be out soon(not sure what that means) but at least they are working on a fix.

It will be interesting to see what the "fix" is.

[magicl1]

Hopefully not the latter. That's why I'm so reluctant to take mine in for the fix... I don't want it to come out worse than when it went in. I spoke to my local HD service guy about this and he thought the [highlight]bolts on the intake gasket needed tightening  [/highlight][smiley=nixweiss.gif]

That almost sounds too simple!  Wouldn't that be something...  From the documentation in the RT manual related to Warmup enrichment and other areas coupled with the "EPA Lean" set up from the factory, I am inclined to believe it is more than that but it could still be a combination of things.  It is funny how this affects many, but the symptoms are not always exactly the same.  Does your engine cut out and stall about 2 minutes into the warm up when you first start it up in the mornings?

It does cough and sputter intermittently in the 1st 3 minutes of operation when the engine is cold. Has not stalled for a while but I also haven't had much chance to ride it lately due to winter weather. What scares me is I've started riding after I've given it a 3 minute warm up and it has stalled in the middle of an intersection while I was turning. Almost dropped the bike.

Yukla95..... Did you get a copy of the workorder that has what they did/replaced to accomplish your fix? I'd like a copy of that to take to my service guy to show him what your fix was. Thanks!

That happened to me when I first picked up the bike and was turning around in the parking lot.

[SEULTRA]

I stalled mine right off the bat at the dealer, sales guy just standing there lookin at me, I laughed and said "Ha, it's a Hydraulic Clutch".

[FR8TRN]

Thanks for the chuckle this AM!

Thanks Jerry! Nothing like the voice of experience.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

IF you have the SERT, this file reflects the changes to Calibration 36 to clear up my cold start problems.


I attached the adjusted file for Calibration 36 the dealer prepared for the cold start problems on my bike.  If you open it, you can check the changes made to the AFR and VE (front and rear) tables.  While on the respective table, click on Table Comparison > Compare Edits To Reference and it will reflect the difference in values between the adjusted copy and the original #36.  Who knows, maybe just the stock #36 would clear the cold start issues.

I didn't get the part # other than it was the lastest B version download.  It dies every morning as its warming up after 1min or so and will continue to die 4-5 more time before I ride off.
