Update On Testing Stage 1 AC install Stock Mufflers No Tune...On 2017 Trike M8

[Bill G]

Update on testing......

Update, now that I got in the hills two up with a load on a longer ride with higher weather temps 80 degrees plus.

well I believe the stage 1 without a tune and stock mufflers works well in closed loop and around town stop light to stop light and cooler weather worked great. Plug cuts good and throttle response good.

After going on a long ride two up in warmer weather pulling long grades at higher speeds keeping up with a big group things change a little.

I now feel you will need a tune for long term open loop operation at higher weather temps (under constant load,climbing hills). The throttle response now changes and tends to gets less and leans out in this environment.

The stock AC set up pulls better or has a better feel to me in this environment. So now over all after testing I would say get a tune with the stage 1 upgrade even with stock mufflers to be safe and for best performance without any worries of damaging anything long term.

I proved it to my self just to see, now I know.

Ride Safe All,

I just did your stock mod and while doing so I see some nice chrome behind that A/C. I sure wouls like to show it. Thanks for sharing as I plan on staying stock, I also did the plugs and they look great will only 200 miles on them ,not lean at all.
