Fuel Controller For 2011 Vaquero

ctc6698 · 10-20-2013, 10:58 PM

Picked up a slightly used 2011 Vaquero this weekend. Previous owner had installed V&H 4" slip-ons and Kury's Alley Cat high flow breather.

When I asked him if he'd installed a fuel controller, he looked dumb-founded.

Since I don't have a tag for it yet, I haven't had a chance to ride it and watch the temp gauge, but I'd suspect he created a lean situation.

Any different thoughts?

Considering going ahead with a Powerpro unless there's something as simple but better out there.

Are you sure it does not already have one ? Maybe the previous owner did not do the mods ? Take the seat off and take a look for a fuel controller ?

I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't put one on. If he wasn't on a fine forum such as this one (do I get points for promotional plugs?) he may very well not know that he needed one after opening the engine up in such a fashion. If one isn't under the seat or a side panel, you now know what your first mod should be!
The two main ones for the Vaquero are the Power Commander V (PCV) or one of the Power Pro models. Do a search for either on here and you will find bunches of threads.

I''m using the Cobra power pro with the Tri ovals on my 1700 Nomad and I love the performance an MPG.. I had a power commander on my 1500 and always had some issue with it whether it ran too rich , too lean and sometime the bike would not start fouling plugs.. The Cobra I got from Smokey a year ago and love it, best upgrade ever done with the thunder open air kit

Just a suggestion

I have the Power Pro on my 11 Vaquero and it works amazing, highly recommend.

Thanks for the input guys....unless he hid it behind the headlight, it's doesn't have one on there.

Going PowerPro
