I just had the factory Indian reflash done to fix the cold start stall.My situation drew criticism on the FB forum. My 2019 base was purchased used with 500 miles. The previous owner kept the catalytic converter but added a Toce slip on and Lloydz Garage tune. (hand held device) My bike ran great for 150 miles then when into misfire mode- Flashing service engine light and 2 codes I dont remember but they were "cylinder misfire" none the less. I took it in to my dealer and I did fully disclosed the aftermarket tune. Their diagnosis was the tune was not completely compatible and was the cause of my misfiring. They down loaded their REVISED Indian tune and my bike runs excellent. This cost me $130 obviously not covered under warranty. Have put over 1,000 fun miles on it since the revised tune was installed. The critics on FB forum said I should have re loaded the original 2019 tune before taking in it. 1: In this modern age automobile and motorcycle techs can see whats been installed and or uninstalled. These are computers and leave a trail. 2 Its been proven that in some bikes- not alot but some the hand held tune can cause issues. From my involvement on forums its not alot of bikes that act up. The Sending in your ECU for reprogramming is the best option. I was told this by Ryan Randall in an email. I am considering sending him my ECU but really my bike does run great and I may put that $500 toward a luggage rack and other goodies.
On the way home when I was down shifting from second to 1st to stop at a set of lights it stalled once which was quite a surprise, however so far I’ve done about 150 k’s and it seems to be going okay however I do get the occasional backfire through the standard exhaust which is leading me to believe that it’s running a bit rich mind you I do ride fkn pants off it.
