Alright, some of you know this story...well I had the story up and pretty much bashed
SEMINOLE POWEERSPORTS because they were incompetent and tried to rip me off.
Blaming my bike for being "heavily modified" they couldnt fix the bike and couldnt tune
it. They didnt listen to anything I had to say and totally dropped the ball.......long story
short, I paid the money to get my bike back and was totally uncertain of my next steps.
Well, this is what has transpired in the mean time......I called the service manager Ken
Ward, and he said to bring the bike in for a free hour of diagnosis.....well, I thought about
it then decided to call around. They charged me some ridiculous fees for unauthorized
work and given a little communication, this would have been avoided.....this is including
a rear brake job and R and R of my custom front fender, that they scratched and put on
wrong. I decided to cancel my check paid to them and try and figure the stalling problem
on our own.
We fixed the running and stalling problem, that they were supposed to fix, by spraying
Sea Foam into the throttle bodies, cleaned the spark plugs, and cleaned the vent lines
and fuel lines. Running fine still.........so, we were told by SEMINOLE POWERSPORTS that
my PCV wouldnt accept the custom MAP they tried to put in....this was another charge I
got pinned with. We called Power Commander to troubleshoot, something I asked SP if
they tried, and Power Commander spent ample time with us and found that the unit was
ok. Now on to the next step....
Finding another dyno tuner, I went to Motorcycle Clinic and spoke with them. I didnt like
the lines of his dynos, so we found Cycle Performance Center. He found a MAP in my PCV
for a bagger with Road Rage 3 step pipes and the bike was running rich, he got a base
MAP put in and it immediately leaned it out. Later on we discovered the problem with the
PCV unit as he found that the firmware needed upgrading and he was able to get a custom
MAP put in.....gear by gear and each cylinder......I ended up with 93hp and 121 ft lbs of torque
