2010 FLHX how can I tell stage 1 tune?

[sand]

So here's my dilemma. I bought my 2010 used with 68K on the clock. It is a clean bike (few scratches and such) I got zero docs from the indy dealer I bought it from. I love the bike it runs great handles great no issues. However I think it had been messed with (tuned) to some extent.

When I got it it had (still does) the stock 2-1 setup on it and a stock a/c on it. It revs past 5500 no issue so I assume something has been changed. The muffler has gone from a nice chrome to hard blue at the rear mount in a matter of a couple thousand miles. I have no decel popping or hesitation issues.

Is it a problem mechanically or otherwise to leave it alone or do I need to get it in for service and re-tune?

Thanks Steve...

One thing I'd be curious about is whether or not the cat is still in the stock header. If it was removed and the bike wasn't tuned after that alteration, then that is likely the source of the discoloration since this change will affect the air:fuel ratio and potentially cause the bike to run lean (aka: hot). Might be worth taking the muffler off the bike and looking into the header to see if it's open or if the cat is still intact.

Hope this helps!

2-1 isn't a stock exhaust.

Possibly a typo? 2-1-2 is stock.

Check your air cleaner. If it's a stock cover with a filter along the lines of K&N, s&s, or similar, with a 2-1, that would be stage one, and that needs a tuner.

If it isn't stock, it won't kill it. But its very lean, like IronAces said. I would get a tuner if it were me. Because that could hurt it after a while.

The 2-into-1 was stock on the Harley's 2010 but they went back to duals in 2011 because folks didn't like the looks of the 2-into-1. I've still got the stock 2-into-1 on my 2010 that I bought off the showroom floor.

No problem, the stock 2:1 was not at all popular with Harley so I think they'd rather us forget that it ever happened. lol

Have a good one!
