PCIII map for 2008 Road King

[richjbutler]

I am putting my bike back together after a Baker F6F upgrade and am going back with stage I and rinehart true duals.

I have:
2008 Road King Classic 105th Anniversary
Rinehart true duals
Arlen Ness Big Sucker Stage I
Stock ECM

I downloaded the M818-044 map which is an exact description of my new setup but wanted to know if there are others running this map with success and if not can you provide something better.

Also is anyone using the accelerator pump feature?

Thanks!

It would be helpful for you to try the -044 map and see if there are any areas that you feel need attention. I can suggest changes, but I need a baseline to work from for best results.

For this setup I would leave the accel pump feature turned off.

Thanks, DynoJet. I took the bike out for a 20 mile ride today and everything seems fine but it feels weak when twisting the throttle. By weak I mean less responsive than stock. It also seems a little rich when letting off the throttle. This is based on the dead gurgling sound instead of a lean popping sound. Of course I do not want it to pop but the engine sounds as if it is shutting down completely when letting off the throttle. I downloaded a map you provided for 'ghostryderflhx' for his 2008 flh when he described his as being weak. I can try that in the next couple of days as I get more time on the bike.

Thanks again, I will keep you updated.

Let me know what happens with the other map you plan to try, We can go from there.

I got about 300 miles on this map and it definitely runs much better. I am amazed at how much cooler the left head pipe runs. I guess I will put some more miles on this map.

Thanks for your help DJR!

Great news. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey Dynojet, I have burned a couple of tanks of gas with the map I got from the forum. I uploaded it hoping you could take a look and do a "sanity check". The rear cylinder seems to be leaner than the front(See attached pics). I wiped the carbon with my finger to better show the difference. These pics are after wiping the pipes clean and riding 60 miles of mixed riding. I tried bumping the cylinder trim up +5% on the rear and -2% on the front but did not see a significant difference. Also was not sure if the cylinder trim function works on an advanced map. I think the bike is running good without having anything to compare it to but stock. I have not checked the fuel mileage yet but it looks to be quite a bit lower than the stock 42 mpg judging by the miles versus the fuel left in the tank.

Thanks for your support!!

There is no way I can base fuel mapping from "pipe soot". If the bike is running well and you have previously said that the temp is down, then I would leave it as it is. If you are really that concerned the only real way to verify it is to either take it to a dyno and have it checked or purchase a Wide Band O2 monitor and check each pipe.

If we start tweaking the map to try and increase fuel mileage we are going to go back the other way in terms of temp and "leanness"

Sounds reasonable, Thanks!
