06 police road king cam? : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

Anyone pulled apart an 06 and know what cam is in it? Some say it is a the same as a non-police model and others have said it is different. Anyone know? I was planning to use a haley ecm map for a SE aircleaner and SE slip-ons, but wasn't sure of the cam.
Thanks

same cam, different map. does your air filter box have holes in the back side? that and a few other goodies mean it has to have a different map, it is richer for idleing.

It is my buddy's bike, so will have to check. I was planning on isntalling a SE air cleaner. He already has has Rinehart slip-ons. I have the techno research direct link software and was going to use harley's map for the SE air cleaner and SE slip-ons. Right now his bike idles so rough that he can't even use his rear view mirrors, which is driving him crazy. I should be able to play with the idle afr to get it to run smoother. I imagine he is already running lean since he has the slip-ons and factory map. He does have the new style injectors with the extra holes. I also thought about throwing in a SE 203 or 204 cam. I am just not very familiar with the police models, but sound like the 06 is the same as a regular harley.
Thanks

Some additional info... He had harley look at the bike to try and fix the rough idle. They had it for over half a day and couldn't find anything wrong with it. They thought it might be the ignition switch, so they replaced the ignition switch (via a recall), but that didn't fix it and now he has two keys, one for the ignition and one for the fork lock. They said his map was dated 2004 and that no new updates were available. This doesn't make sense since he has the new injectors, which I think came out in 2006 and should have a newer map.... Techno research is releasing a new version of there software in a few weeks which will alow the factory map to be backed up and re-used if needed. I plan to back up his map before trying any new maps so that I can go back if needed. Unfortunately I don't have good access to a dyno to check the afr, so will be some trial and error.

A couple of years ago I got stuck when a storm blew through while I was at the HD store so I got the civilian and police parts books and compared parts for several model years. The cams in the civilian and police engines are the same in '06.

A rough idle can very easily be an out of balance crank, one where the counter weights shifted.

I hope that is not it. However, this seems to be a common problem in the new bikes, which is why so many people are pro-plugging and welding their cranks. The excessive runnout on some the pinion shafts I have seen is shamefull, which has been causing so many oil pumps to fail.
