i just bought a used styker and i believe i got a **** of deal with all the accessories that came on the bike. One **** of an upgrade coming from an 86 vulcan 750. One of the accessories happens to be the cobra fi2000 or fi2000r, the bike has on it a cobra intake and the 4 inch slip on. I was actually able to ride it for a half hr or so and noticed that when cruising that the bike does not want to be in a gear above what is actually needed IE riding in 4th but kicked it up to 5th (to keep rpms down) now i know that you will not have instant acceleration when you roll the throttle but it seemed kind of long before the bike got up and went it also seemed to be somewhat bogging when just giving it enough throttle to keep a pace. Is this normal and i am not used to it or should i tune the module? the module is set to the cobra factory settings for a slip on exhaust. anyone with the same or similar set up can help me out i would appreciate it. FYI I DID SEARCH.

What rpm range are you rolling on the throttle and getting a bog? Low, mid, or high rpm range. I'm assuming low? Also what tire is on the rear?

Low to mid just cruising, i have the sticker on

It should open up fairly quick. If you are above the rpm that the engine would lug if throttled then it is very responsive. You may want to have a tech ensure that the correct map is loaded and also check air filter to make sure it is clean. If you just bought it then you don't know what shape the filter is in. My recommendation against popular opinion is that you should run regular unleaded fuel. It burns more completely and more instantly so you will get better performance. I can actually hear my exhaust note flatten out a little when running mid or high grade.

Note: Didn't mean to insult you by saying get a tech to check map. You may be capable of doing it yourself :tsk:
