I had to let you know that I appreciate your staff of professionals, an excellent product that brought my 2010 Iron 883 to life, and made it feel like a whole new machine! I can't believe how much harder it pulls through the gears, eliminated the "lug" at low mph, and greatly improved the responsiveness of the bike with the DK Customs Air Cleaner assembly kit and Screaming Eagle Slip-ons! I'm stoked and would recommend your product to anyone looking to improve the performance of their Sportster. Thank you for the quality product, cool stickers, and fast shipping.

When an individual's motorcycle exhibits annoying and/or irritating conditions such as stumbling idle and surging at low to medium cruise speeds, it detracts from the pleasure of riding. These problems existed with my 2012 HD XL1200V in the strictly stock condition. The addition of HD Screamin Eagle street legal cans did not make any noticeable difference in performance and there was no popping as some owners have reported. However, the sound was a definite improvement.
In an effort to solve the idle/surging conditions, researching of the various EFI controllers from different manufactures was started. The Cobra Fi2000 PowerPro Auto Tune was considered but was soon disregarded as this one has no memory. With this tuner, whenever the bike is shut down, all learned settings are lost and on the next startup, the learning process begins all over. How long does this take? Three blocks? A half mile? A mile?
The Dobeck Performance EJK GEN 3.5 was selected because of the excellent reviews, performance, value, ease of installation and operation. This unit provides tuning options in six different modes. In addition to the generic installation guide, a guide specific to the Sportster was included which made the install a snap. At the time of the EJK install, an HD Screamin Eagle Stage One air cleaner was also installed.
The test ride: Whoa!!! This fuel starved, EPA compliant, oversized lawn mower engine was awakened. Out of the box, the annoying/irritating conditions were gone. Cruise at all speeds is very smooth, this bike is now a pleasure to ride as it should be.
Thanks Dobeck Performance

Thanks to the Dobeck team for the undivided attention they gave me when i was up there. That was one of the highlights of my trip. It's companies like yours that stand out from the rest with your outstanding customer service. You will always have my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a tuning system.

I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the EJK for the 2009 1700 Vulcan Nomad. The install was simple and straight forward. Having read the instructions prior to delivery, I knew where I was going to start with the settings and think I hit the mark pretty well, but few more rides may will tell. During my ride today, I noticed that the idle is smoother, acceleration through the gears is far better and the bike runs cooler without sacrificing milage. The bike feels new and much improved!
I have had the Cobra FI2000 PowerPro and DynaJet Power Commander and neither of those had the same result. The Cobra was one size fits all, as long as you had a size 10 shoe. The Power Commander is really meant to be dyno'd but having used maps from same year bikes and equipment that had been dyno'd and was not impressed with the results and I was reluctant to invest in any more in the process.
Thank you for the excellent product and lightening fast shipment.

I called in for support and they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The tech had answers to every question and even had setup advice as to how I should set it up. Your product does exactly what it should do and then some. My fuel mileage has improved slightly, the power is better and the bike is smoother running. The bottom is where I always thought the torque needed help and your programmer gave it to me. It feels like a different bike especially when I lug it down.

Thank you for the Military discount and an even bigger thanks for such a fine product. I recently installed the TFI unit on my 2009 HD FLTC and although the main reason I installed it was to reduce the heat coming off the motor, I was really surprised by the increase in power. I've no dyno figures to compare, but it feels like I found a substantial amount of additional Torque and a few more ponies along the way. Wish I would have done this sooner.

I have a 05 Ultra Classic HD converted to a trike this year. I went with the Champion trike kit with the reverse kit. The bike has the stage two 95 kit with race turner and 203 cams. With the trike kit installed the fuel economy has not been the greatest. It has ranged from 23 to 27 MPG. (The new factory trike gets about 35.) It is not as good as it was when it had 2 wheels. I was about to sell the trike before I talked with the people that installed the trike kit. They told me to get in touch with Dobeck Performance and see if he could help me out. After talking with him I had the Dobeck GEN 4 installed. I have traveled just over 12K this year through multiple states with the trike kit. The fuel economy has ranged from 33 to as high as 46 MPG. Traveling has been on back roads, mountain passes, and some freeway ( as little as possible). Travel speeds ranged from 25 MPH to as high as 80 MPH. Dobeck has been a great support in the installation and taken care of any problems that I have had to improve the fuel economy on this trike. Thanks for all your help.

Recently purchased and installed your controller, FI-1047ST, on my 06 Ducati 800ss. I find that it is a rare occasion when a performance upgrade lives up to its advertising claims. What a pleasant surprise, everything you say about your product is absolutely true. Installation was quick and easy. Riding the bike is now a much more enjoyable experience. Gone is the near complete lack of power below 3K RPM, replaced by actual throttle response. The bike is much smoother at all speeds and now pulls like a tractor any time I whack the throttle.
Just wanted to congratulate you on a truly great product.

His motor is stock with a K&N highflow aircleaner and Thunderheaders for exhaust. I installed the TFI, set the pots to the recommended settings. The bike fired right up, no issues. The customer took his bike out for a test ride after install and when he came back to the shop, the grin on his face was evident. His comment, "this is the best this bike has ever run!!".

I have a 2008 96ci Dynaglide that has the HD stage 1. This engine idle was choppy and has always surged at low rpm and ran extremely hot and it would ping and backfire. The performance was better that stock but not what I thought it should be and it was getting 44mpg. I did a lot of research on tuners and found the Techlusion which is what I was looking for. I wanted to be able to easily tune the engine before I made any modifications. The installation was easy and the baseline settings were close, with only some slight tweaking to get it where I wanted.This engine is like night and day. The idle is smoother, it is running much cooler,no more low rpm surging,pinging or backfire and there is a noticeable power increase,it now jumps when the throttle is slammed,response is excellent.I can run it down to 40mph in 6th gear and the engine pulls fine and I can accelerate without it bucking.My mileage increased from 44 to over 48mpg. I am telling other riders about this product. I also have a 2004 Electra Glide Classic with the 88ci engine that has some of the same problems.I will be ordering the TFI contoller for this bike also.

I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I have run a Cobra fuel processor since I bought the bike in 2007. I had to make adjustments when my elevation severly changed and when the weather changed. I had a backfire that i just couldn't tune out. Well i evidently placed the unit in a bad spot under my seat, because it finally shorted out blowing my fuel pump fuse. After about 100 websites and 100 phone calls, I chose the Doebeck product. Installation was frustrating at best, my American man hands don't fit well inside Japanese equipment. After installing it, I got the unit set with the minimum settings remommended by Doebeck (gas is $4.11 per gal)My test run ride was a 600 mile ride down to Ensenada Mexico and back. I hardly recognized my bike,the response was so much better, it seems like the TFI has even stretched the "Power Band" I find myself shifting gears a lot less often on surface streets there is actually power at low speeds in second gear without lugging, and the mileage... 48mpg on the highway average speed 80mph. Oh, and the backfire has gone away for the most part.

No question, just a comment. Nice work. The recommended settings were perfect for my bike, and it runs better in all ranges. Something I had not expected was that it also rides smoother. When I put on true duals, I picked up a little vibration because the pipes are of different lengths, thus effectively giving each cylinder its own tq curve. It was not harsh, just noticeable. To me, anyway. I am a AH-64 Instructor, and little noises and vibrations are picked up on by helicopter pilots very quickly, that is, if they are destined to be old helicopter pilots. But your device cured that too. Thanks for a good product, and for supporting the military.

When I reassembled my R1150RT after a spline lube I could not understand why the engine performance was so awful.
Thanks to Matt and Chris I discovered that I had reassembled the R259 harness incorrectly. There are two possible places where the harness plugs will fit. The correct place, as Matt pointed out, is right at the injector on either side, where 12V is available. Like a bonehead, I made the connection at the airbox. Matt’s advice to “follow the volts” led me quickly to the problem.

I wanted to echo some of the testimonials regarding your product for my 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic.
You only produced the tap on version when I bought the unit from you but installation was easy. I put on a Thunder Air Kit and Vance & Hines pipes and it was a pleasant task to fine tune the settings from your initial recommendations and those on your forum to get the bike running perfectly.
I had the same set-up on a '99 1500 Vulcan Classic and it was a messy chore to keep changing jets and determining which ones to change to get the tuning right as they overlapped in some areas of the fuel curve. Your EFI product was much more precise in getting the right adjustments in just a couple of quick rides and a whole log easier to perform. All I had to do was stop a moment, make a fine tuning adjustment and go from there. Three fine tuning adjustments later, it was spot on.
What a great product. Thanks....Ken

After a few tweaks away from the recommended settings, I have acheived ridability nirvana. Box-stock bike, with the exception of a K&N air filter. I did a full set-up prior to install (zero-zero, throttle body balance, re-install CCP, etc.), followed the set-up recommendations to the letter and just finished the first 200 miles.
First off, this bike has been a drivability pig since day one. No matter what amount of tune-effort I put into it, I could never bring this engine to run smoothly at partial throttle. It had the infamous surge to the degree that it was almost unridable, except on the coldest of mornings. Ambient temps over 80F would give it fits and made the bike extremely difficult to ride (I'm being kind here). Area BMW Dealers were and are useless in solving the problem (mine was so useless, they went under in 2 years).
I can't thank the engineers that created this solution enough for the transformation they've made in the character of my BMW. This is the bike BMW should have delivered in 2002. It's a different motorcycle and it runs smoother than I've ever experienced. I'll watch the plugs and tweak a little more, but I've acheived satisfaction immediately upon installation. Ridability is stellar, power delivery is linear up to where the cams come on (and from there it just hauls ass). Idle is smooth, cold start is better; not great, but not worse than prior to install. Throttle response is greatly improved and there's no sign of lean-popping on deceleration.
Thank you Dobeck Performance for a product that changes everything! I should have done this years ago!

Dear Matt in the tech department
Here at Holeshot Performance Products i strive to give my customers a
hand built top shelf exhaust and also tuning to match.
I liked the idea and the simplicity of the TFI tuning box, so i thought
id give one a try on my new 2006 DL-1000 V Strom with my Holeshot
Performance slip-ons installed that i produce.The bike is stock form was
very rough from about 2500 to 4000 RPM and it also got very poor fuel
mileage at about 31 mpg . I was able to dial in this set up on my dyno
using the TFI box and get a near perfect A/F ratio of 13:1 to 13:7 under
steady cruise, light throttle load and full roll on to all the way to
redline. You can see by my before and after dyno charts it makes tons of
torque now a big power gain and its smooth all the way up.Out on the
road it now runs perfect and to top it off, the best part is the bike
picked up the mileage to 39 mpg. I am very please with the results of
TFI tuning box and im sure it will be much simpler for my customers to
set up that the other methods available on the market, and at a lower
cost.Holeshot Performance will now be selling the TFI tuning box for
selected models with my matching tune up.
I will have a new 2006 FZ1 pipe ready soon and im looking forward to the
next TFI tuning session to go with it.

Sirs:
I recently purchased a VH Fuelpac and am disappointed in the lack of power band information for the multiple codes. Typically V&H only supplies one set of 18 codes for what ever modification is listed.
I contacted them and told them that I went head to head with the exact same bike ('06 Ultra) manufactured 30 day before mine with the exact same exhaust slip-ons (also V&H) and the exact same air cleaner (stock air box with K&N filter). The only difference was that the other bike had a RevTech DFO unit. In comparison with the DFO, and I was pulled in every gear, in several runs attempts and especially in 5th.
V&H gave me another set of codes to "try" but I can receive no assurance from V&H that their unit is functioning as designed without harm to my machine. The also told me that powerband/adjustment information is proprietary and not for "public release".
I wanted to return the unit but there is no warranty for lack of my satisfaction.

After a few tweaks away from the recommended settings, I have achieved rid
ability nirvana. Box-stock bike, with the exception of a K&N air filter. I
did a full set-up prior to install (zero-zero, throttle body balance,
re-install CCP, etc.), followed the set-up recommendations to the letter and
just finished the first 200 miles.
First off, this bike has been a drivability pig since day one. No matter
what amount of tune-effort I put into it, I could never bring this engine to
run smoothly at partial throttle. It had the infamous surge to the degree
that it was almost unridable, except on the coldest of mornings. Ambient
temps over 80F would give it fits and made the bike extremely difficult to
ride (I'm being kind here). Area BMW Dealers were and are useless in solving
the problem (mine was so useless, they went under in 2 years).
I can't thank the engineers that created this solution enough for the
transformation they've made in the character of my BMW. This is the bike BMW
should have delivered in 2002. It's a different motorcycle and it runs
smoother than I've ever experienced. I'll watch the plugs and tweak a little
more, but I've achieved satisfaction immediately upon installation.
Ridability is stellar, power delivery is linear up to where the cams come on
(and from there it just hauls ass). Idle is smooth, cold start is better;
not great, but not worse than prior to install. Throttle response is greatly
improved and there's no sign of lean-popping on deceleration.
Thank you Dobeck Performance for a product that changes everything! I should
have done this years ago!

Mark, I wanted to tell of the great support I George Levings provided me.
I have a 2002 X-1 Buell. I was having problems with the bike (turned out to be temperature sensor) and one of the diagnostics I decided to do was to check the TFI (George's suggestion). He checked mine and discovered I had an older model. He sent me the current one and the now the bike screams. Runs terrific. It is a much better product than the first one I had.
George was also instrumental in helping me to calibrate my initial TFI.
Throughout all my dealings with Doebeck, George has been enthusiastic, willing to discuss/answer questions to MY satisfaction (I can be pretty detailed), and possesses superior technical knowledge.
You have a great employee, as you probably already know, but I had to tell you anyway.

Subject: DOBECK PERF. TFI- 2004 YAMAHA R6
I just wanted to comment on your DP Techlusion TFI I bought a few months ago and installed on my '04 Yamaha R6. I installed your product alongside a GYT-R carbon fiber slip on exhaust, high flow BMC air filter & Four Graves velocity stacks. Your product made all the difference in how these upgrades worked together. Installation was easy. At idle ,the exhaust note is music to my ears. On decceleration, the popping sound when adding aftermarket exhausts, were eliminated. Most importantly, throttle response has greatly improved at all ranges. At slower speeds and in traffic the bike is less jerky. When riding in the mid to high rpm range (R6's already have an awesome powerband), the acceleration is smoother and throttle response is awesome. It actually slides me back in the seat, every time I quickly hit the throttle. On numerous occasions I've actually pop the front wheel up upshifting into the higher gears. At slow speeds, the throttle response is just as wicked, nasty even. I found that out the hard way. One day I decided to see how well it would do at a slow speed. I was accelerating up to about 20 mph (rpm was between 5 and 6k) when i decided to cut the throttle and hit it again to see if there would be a delayed response...there was absolute no delay and the throttle response was so quick that the bike stood up! The RPMs barely had a chance to drop as much. I never thought that was possible! The 1st year I had my R6 I had thought about upgrading to an R1 because of some of the typical shortcomings of a smaller bike. But, in conjuction w/the other upgrades, your product has breathed new life into my R6 to where, for the moment, I no longer feel the need or want to upgrade to a "bigger" bike. My buddy who rides an R1 w/exhaust and air filter upgrades and sporting the other more popular controller, notices how quickly I pull away during passes & how I keep pace with him during speed runs. He tried my bike and complimented on the bikes power!compliments like that from someone who rides a bike w/more power and torque carries a lot of weight. TFI works and it rocks! The only downside is...now I need to upgrade my brakes! Shaka!

Hey Mark, great product!
Being a long time Harley rider (since '66) I new the drill for improving the performance on my new R1150R:
Free up the intake, free up the exhaust and rejet the carb. Since there is no carb, I figured well maybe just the first two would be good enough. What a let down. After installing a K&N filter and Two Brothers Cat eliminator exhaust, I had
a popping , wheezing slug that sounded like an anemic Bultaco. THe only gain I could detect was an increase in idle speed to 1500rpm. Disconnecting the O2 sensor helped slightly.
Fortunately, I read about your black box on the R1150R message board and ordered up a 1031. Result: AMAZING!One snort'n rocket. THe anemic Bultaco developed a throaty bark. SHe pulls strongly in 6th gear below 4000rpm for the fist time. THe only SURGE I'm experiencing is my neck surging back when I crack the throttle..all thanks to your black box which I call my virtual jets.

Subject: Honda vtx 1800r back firing
I am sending this Massage to let you know how much help your sevive tech was
to me. I had a problem with my VTX back firing after putting on Vanson Hine
pipes. I called Kirkland where I purchased the TFI, they gave me your phone
number and I asked to speak with a service tech and they put me through to
George. I explained my problem to George with no hesitation, George advised
me to do a few things, try it and call him back. He walked me through step
by step procedures and after three phone calls the problem was solved. I
have to let you know, your service tech George is by far one of the best in
the industry and very polite and customer orientated. I had spoke with
other people about this problem and was told I would have to live with it
because you get that from putting on after market pipes. Again, after
talking to George it was solved in no time, he knew exactly what he was
talking about and I just wanted to take the time to personally say thank you
to you, and to George, for a great product.
Thanks

Hi and Thank you for designing the TFI.
I have recently added a TFI unit to our autograss race car and it has made a huge difference to the performance to say the least.
I have included a picture of it, (rear over axle engine, rear wheel drive,Suzuki Hayabusa powered class 8 special)
We are half way through our season and Margaret (my better half) is looking forward to the Ladies National Championships with the addition of the TFI.
So Thank you once again for designing this revolutionary unit.
Regards

The Techlusion works (BMW R259)! I returned my then new '95 R1100R (Oilhead) repeatedly back to my original dealer and to one other shop while under BMW's 3-year warranty to cure the lurching, jerking, surging (or as BMW refers to it, hunting) but to no avail. My dealer (Smith & Jones BMW in Missoula, Montana finally told me they couldn't fix it, and advised me to take it to Beaudry Motors in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, saying "maybe they know something we don't know". That's where my Oilhead spent the winter of '97-98. In the spring of 1998, the factory Rep from Washington D.C. was in Coeur d'Alene visiting Beaudry Motors. The Rep rode my bike and pronounced it "just fine". It wasn't! The problems continued even with the expert advice and help of Rob Lentini, who helped me set the throttle position sensor, and perfectly balance the injectors. However, the surging was never cured. I put up with this less-than-acceptable performance for another 7 years. Finally this spring I took the plunge and installed an R259 Techlusion.
What a difference! Instant tune up! I can ride at slow speed around parking lots and rough dirt campground roads with excellent throttle control. I can then increase speed evenly without fear of the engine stumbling or of being jerked off balance. Shame on BMW for not providing such a fix years ago, and even more shame for not fixing the 259 engine before it was ever released to the public. With this gadget installed, I am now a happy BMW rider. Now 75, I hope to look forward to enjoyably riding my Oilhead for at least a few more years before I turn in my key.
This gadget is not technically difficult to install. Routing the wires takes some forethought, and a digital DC voltmeter, though said to be highly recommended, I feel is really a necessary tool.
This is not a paid-for endorsement.
