Harely Davidson bikes have the best exhaust sound! It is music to my ears every single time.

Thanks for this video! I just bought a 2019 that came with Stage 1 and I wasn’t sure what that meant. My HD dealer told me the three parts, but this video really explained the reason

that mass sensor is for the air coming in and the o2 sensors measure what the levels air\fuel exiting the engine. the ecm can make the change for intake and mufflers without a tune. It has enough perimeters to do that without getting a tune.

A $30,000 to $40,000 motorcyle should have all of this already included from the factory!

Bought a 2012 Fatboy brand new in 2012 and of course did an immediate stage 1. Heavy breather intake, 2 into 1 Vance & Hines exhaust and Screamin' Eagle Super Tuner. I gotta say, I feel like it did a LOT more than a 10% increase. But now that I've had my fun with it for 7 years, I decided to upgrade to a stage 2 255 cam. It's currently in the shop now so I'm just waiting for the call that it's done and can't wait to see what it's got now!

I think the FZ/MT 09 would be a good start it's only $9000 and doesn't need any mods to give it the power it should have come with.

Interesting, how much is each of these stages?

Thank you for your answer

I purchased back in June of 2022 a brand new Street Glide Special 114. 8 months later, I am considering a 131 Stage IV kit instead of a 135 Crate Engine replacement. Is a 131 now cheaper since the 135 is being produced? The wait for my area in Pennsylvania for a 135 is likely up to December or later when it is officially released for here compared to scheduling a 131 kit upgrade next week. I am just trying to weigh my options. Looking for any comments, thoughts, or suggestions for this upgrade. Stage I, II,III, IV, or wait for the 135 crate engine?

As a tech I thought you may have an opinion on this... I have a 2021 Harley Fat Boy. You may know that it comes from the factory with a high performance air cleaner, but I ordered an upgrade to that ("extreme" Screamin' Eagle air kit) which is 40% more efficient. My question is; if I plan to install a basic full exhaust on this Fat Boy (whatever brand) and that's it, is there a downside to having this upgraded air kit (like it can't be tuned properly, poor gas millage, poor performance, won't work well with typical exhausts like Big Shots V&H pipes, etc...)? I understand that the advantage is that it will work better with a cam installation later on if elected, correct?

I have a 17 FLHTCU. It has 21k Miles on it. I have put stage 1, then stage IV on it. Had to replace engine at 12K miles due to oil pump failure. Had to fight Harley to replace just the bottom half, and I paid for the Stage IV because I didnt trust anything that had oil failure to last. Dealer replaced oil pump first, then after it failed I got them (it took over a month) to replace bottom half. Now I was going to pay for the new Stage IV, but when they opened it up, you guessed it, Cam housing full of metal shavings. It seems the oil pump they put in as a fix was still defective. So now I need whole new motor. It's cheaper for me to replace motor with 131 crate than to repair what I already had. So yeah, I am going to consult a lawyer. South Carolina has Lemon Laws that work for the consumer, and this definitely falls under that statute.

Does Harley have a sheet that tells you which items are matched to provide the desired results? One dealer tells me one thing the other something else. I know that everything has to be matched or you will lose power.

Their department is right along with the engineers when designing the engines. I run all Harley parts and they work well while I have heard the stories of people chasing gremlins when they go with competitor parts. If you are seeking insane drag racing power for competition then it's a whole different ball game and the cost going with high grade 3rd party performance parts is going to be very, very expensive. But the V&H bagger finished 2nd in King of the Bagger race running a stock Harley 131 Big Bore engine with a V&H air filter and exhaust. Some of those others didn't finish the race. Plus, it is covered under warranty and extended service plan when running all Harley parts.

So you say that if you do either slip ons or intake you need the tuner. Well if that were the case and damage would occur if you didn’t have a tuner then why doesn’t the check engine light come on after installing only slip ons? That was one of the first things I did. Actually I drilled out the baffles first and no engine light. My ride is a 2018 road glide ultra. I can see tuning if you do both intake and slip ons maybe. But unless you put on a free flowing head pipe along with intake, exhaust slip ons I’m not so sure the tune is needed. But I will tune mine when I put on my new intake soon to go along with my slip ons. Harley is always trying to trick people into buying more crap than they need because they just assume people that can afford their bikes are stupid when it comes to anything mechanical. When I go into my dealership wanting to buy a specific part those parts guys are always trying to push a more expensive equivalent part that I was wanting. I already KNOW what I want so shut your hole!

How does moving a single catalytic converter that's closer to the cylinder heads (and the combustion process) to two catalytic converters further from the cylinder heads increase flow? Different substrate material? And on touring models where the left side exhaust flows less cfm, doesn't this create a flow bottleneck? And how does this affect O2 sensor placement? Too many questions left unanswered on a process that seems it should be engineered as a part of Stages 2, 3, and 4 rather than just a standalone kit. Maybe I'm wrong...Harley has a whole team of engineers for this. But, it just doesn't seem to add up. I'd like to see a Stage 1 dyno using the stock exhaust OR slipons and the high flow air filter with the SEPST up against the Stage 1 with the high flow air filter, SEPST and the $1400 full exhaust. I'd be willing to bet it's the exact same torque. Maybe +1 or +2 horsepower difference if I'm wrong. And I've been wrong before...a lot.

You pay really good money for a Harley Davidson to begin with, and then the ski is the limit on the upgrades that are available. That was around 2017 or so, and you know that Harley Davidson wasn't even done yet. Now let's get into the really fast V-Twin motors, like the 121ci, the badass 128"/ 131ci screaming eagles , and then finishing off the arsenal of power is the SS -T143. Now when you are pushing 160 plus HP and 150lbs torque that's close to super bike numbers , so anyway you look at it that's one hella accomplishment! Like I said each individual has a personal preference, wether it be for a car, clothes, or motorcycle. The best thing that you can do is try a couple of different types, don't rush into buying the first thing that you ride unless it's all you can afford. Ohh there's no shame in having to do that whatsoever, that's the way I bought my first street bike ever. I was working at Taco Bell after school "well I would go to football practice for a couple of hours,then shower and go to work at taco bell until midnight. My parents told me that they would co-sign with me to get my own transportation, so I thought I was going to go down to the Yamaha dealership to get a new FJ -1100 hahaha. I had to choose between a 1987 Yugo, or a 1987 Kawasaki 440 Ltd. I loved that bike. I have never bought anything that I was satisfied with from the factory, I have always done something extra, to every bike or car that I have ever had. Wich is why I sold my entire fleet of Simi Trucks , Warehouse, and the rest of my business and equipment. I decided that I wanted to build Bikes, not just for me but for anyone who wanted me to make their bikes the way that they really wished that they would have come from the factory like. Sorry for going on and on about this, but I am very compassionate about the Motorcycle industry.

Grow up guys that keep arguing a $$$ point. It’s Harley-Davidson. When have a ever heard of Harley-Davidson been cheap? If you want all that stuff from the factory, go out and buy some of the other junk out there like a Honda or Indian.

And any Japanese 600cc super sport puts more power to the rear wheel. O yeah and torque it's just that torque is above 10k rpm at the wheel than any Harley 1200+cc engine that is a 40 year old design. Dyno my 600 against multiple Harleys my bike always put down bigger numbers and cost less than 10k out the door with better brakes, suspension, frame, transmission, swingarm, liquid cool engine that many people have gotten over 150k miles without a problem. Some with more and 300k and never rebuilt try that on a Harley. There's a reason you are dying as a company

Go to the Harley dealer you can hear all you want

Riddle me this. How come this isn't from the factory? $$$$$$ The American way

Hi I’ll save you from wasting your money, call fuel MOTO and blow any CVO or stage 4 kit off the road, all this HD SE stuff is designed to work together with epa regulations and them keeping the catalytic converter . And the street tuner is a joke. Power vision is the way to go they’ll load their custom tune based on what you have done. Go to fuelMOTO.com and go to dyno sheets. these kits are a joke still using a catalyst. The dealers don’t even truly dyno your bike they download a tune from SE website and charge you for a 3hr dyno session, with a DD fat cat and intake on a 17 SG and I make 109hp 114tq. so show me how much a stage 4 kit is supposed to make .....I’ll wait

A Millennial will ask "why do I have to buy a performance upgrade for a bike I just paid $25,000+ for?" H-D is not about motorcycles. They are about getting every dollar in your wallet.

@@JR-bj3uf I have owned a Honda and a Yamaha; they do the same thing. I imagine German bikes are the same too. I know they are the same because that is the nature of business.

Harley stock been in a steep nose dive last 7 years. People are fed up pouring money into these engines which are designed to fail. People not paying 20 to 30 thousand dollars for new bikes... I predict this company will be bankrupt inside of 5 years from now..... We have access to company balance sheets, showing the company way over extended on existing loans and credit to the tune of almost 500 million dollars. This motor company not have that kind of cash to pay back..........Is only a matter of time now, before banks start calling these notes back over-due for payment............

Its like its all planned ahead to screw hardly owners even more! What a joke.

Have you ridden an M8 107 or 114?

A big waste of materials as well. As once you upgrade, the old exhaust and intake is worthless junk. In stock form, the only way a Harley will pass emission requirements is run them supper lean. You have to purchase the balls to you new motorcycle later for an additional thousand.

Spend all that bread & still have a cat restricting the exhaust gas flow. I don't think so. 😒

you're still going slow just going slow a little faster

i call bullshit

Funny how they keep draining the pockets of its customers. Indian motorcycle rolls out of the crate with more horsepower and torque with out any mods. Then with mods Indian thunder stroke still comes out on top. Get more for your money with Indian. I know firsthand I own a Indian and the 107 Harley and well Harley is being put up for sale.

They're Crap

It's not perfect from the factory. He just lied through his teeth
