    Hi mate I brought it off the stealership as a demo bike came with v&h big radius exhaust,  se heavy breather and se super pro tuner they told me it had been re mapped already.

    Your bike needs the 621 strategy update.

    in the "S" models, HD forgot to switch the ACR's to on believe it or not. Even toggling them in SERT/Powervision etc does nothing.

    When the update is done, you will hear a audible "click" when the ACR is engaged.

    There really should be a recall on this, HD Usa has done one but nothing here.

    Once the update is done, the bike will start like it's on a jumper pack.

    I did mine via Powervision. Dynojet or Fuel moto can convert your current tune to 621 spec.

    As for SERT. Last time I checked 621 wasn't out for "stage 1" but there was a "stock" map floating around. You could in theory pick up the 621 tune and copy your VE/timing and everything else to the new map.

    If it's a new bike and under warranty don't stuff around on here just take it back and make them fix it under warranty. For the amount of money they cost they should be able to start under water

     They know about the issue, it takes 30 seconds to flash the update.

    But, when I last checked the SERT 621 update was for stock bikes (not stage 1)
