Got Fi2000 fuel processor?

The bike shop i took my fury to, the mechanic there told me not to buy the Fi2000 that its garbage, to spend the extra money and get the power commander.

Congratulations on your new fuel processor. Now you can read the six thousand posts and different views on this subject and hopefully if your head is still attached by the time you get done you might find a happy medium setting for your bike. I'm running the fi2000 with cobra swepts with baffles in with spike air filter at the default settings 1-2-0. I have played with the settings and I found no difference in performance so I left them at recommended default setting. Check the search button for this subject and view the many reports.

well from what I have read and heard everyone has there own opinion on all of the FC's, so I would just suggest getting the one you can afford and you'll get it tuned in eventually, someone will come by and read this thread and help you out the best they can, but it might be better if you tell everyone what your set-up is so that they know if there FC set-up will help you or not as your not going to have the same setting with cobra pipes that you are with mayhems and it depends on if you have a stock air intake or S & S, I know I seen a thread with people discussing there settings so you could also try a search and see if you can find that thread while waiting around for someone to help you, I could be wrong but I would think you could call the manufacturer and they should be able to help you out also since you bought there product. If I am way off on anything someone please correct me as I don't want to put out bad information.

Really? I thought with the aftermarket air filter, you would need to adjust the settings. That's curious. When I get my Cobra breather, I had planned on adjusting the settings. Of course, I'm assuming that Cobra will give me an idea of what to set it at......I hope!

Oh, and like Dave said, the range of settings in these forums is a wide one indeed. I have Cobra swepts, baffles in, stock breather, 1,2,0 default. I think Richard is up in the 8's and 7's. When I told the guy at Cobra that, he thought those settings were quite a bit high, but I haven't heard Richard say anything about fouling plugs.

SteveO, I thought so to and have played with these setting til the cows come home and have found no difference in performance.You may also find the same result with yours when your cobra intake comes in especially seeing as we both have the same set. It seems to run fine and I've learned over the years not to try and fix anything that aint broke. I'm sure once I get my new inspection sticker and should I decide to pull those baffles out we might be having a different conversation.

Do you even have your fuel processor hooked up, or is it just velcroed in there?

Yeah, I agree about not messing with something when it seems to be working fine. ....and yes, surely you will need to adjust it if you take out your baffles. Let me know what happens.

bought my Power Commander this week to replace my Fi 2000.
Nuff said.

Take it easy folks. I just want the folks who are cool with their processor to give me some info. I appreciate the input, but I just wanted some numbers. Thanks to all the fellas staying on topic.

I don’t know why, but my bike runs the best at 7-8-6. Honda did the install and tuning. I emailed Cobra about my settings and my concern for fouling plugs or washing out the pistons. They sent me an email back essentially saying if the bike was running good, pulling thru the gears etc, then it was fine and not to worry about the numbers. Go strictly off how the bike runs. I posted their email on here somewhere.

I am running Cobra Swepts, baffles removed, and the 90 degree Fuggin air intake. Pics are in the April Fury of the month thread. Hope this helps somebody.

Dumped my FI2000 for a power commander 5 today.
Running Cobra Swepts with no bafflels, S&S air filter, Dynojet Map from S&S.
Sounds great, runs great, all dealer installed, all good.

Right you are, and you gotta love those Cobras, no baffles.
I'm not slammin Cobra products, I love the swepts, I just wanted a MAP for the controller.

Dynoed bike Thurs. have Cobra Swepts w/baffels, & Demon intake. Settings 3-2-2 62 H.P. Bike runs great with FI2000.

NorCal;

The -2-2 sounds right for your set-up, but the 3 is awfully rich for idle and just off-idle; something they wouldn't have been able to pick up with the dyno sniffer. Suggest backing the 3 down to 1 for a better/cleaner idle. Just my two-bits.

Cheers

Thanks for all the good info. fellas!!!
