Should have been a grand total of 3 reflashes on the 08's, FYI.
First one, no real change in performance, lessened run time on fans. Second, slight map change to *try* to cool down running temps. Also made it so fans could run independantly. Third, finally fixed low end chugging. Slight loss in top end power, but low end driveablility perfected made it worth it. Keep on enjoyin man, and now they HD has checked it out once, do the rest of the services yourself. If you haven't yet, pick up a service manual. It is really well written. Last major issue, watch your rear turns. They are notorious for going out on the 08's. Both of mine have gone already. Also had my cluster replaced as it would fog when I rode in temps below 40 degrees. Now I have an 09 cluster, so I gained a gear indicator!

Thanks for the tips Cutty! I had mine back in the shop today for the brake line reroute/recall. I was real happy with the last 'flash, cured the low rpm chugging and surging. I have never experienced the heat issue despite Arkansas is July and Aug.
Did have one strange momonet when I thought my low beams were off. I rode on hi until I could pull over but the were on by then. Mighta just been a bad reflection from the cars ahead.? Anyways I am really enjoying it and trying to get the

suspension dialed in for my style and weight. I will watch those turn signals and I suppose the cluster as fall approaches. Overall I am still in love with the sweet handling chassis and torque.

Smiles...the owners manual provides a pretty good base for suspension settings. I trust you've read through that though.

Ndeed Marko I have. It is more helpful than most owners manuals concerning set up. I also have Sportriders settings for the 1125r and the Roadracing World 1125R and CR track day notes. I have a good baseine now, but am trying to work out perfection...
