I need to send mine in. I was practicing slow maneuvers and the throttle is real touchy, tough to maintain a constant RPM in the friction zone. I had Racin Ray's throttle mod still on the bike also. I took it off, but the throttle is still touchy. I think I will bite bullet and send it for a reflash version 3.0 I have 2.0 currently. I can ride my 21 Road Glide while the Vaquero is down. :)

Man, I took the Vaquero today for some slow speed practice, and boy does it suck at low speeds compared to my Road Glide. I need to send my ECU off to Ivan ASAP to get version 3.0. The 2.0 version has the throttle way touchy and when I try to stay at about 1500 - 1800 RPM in the friction zone, the RPMs just climb even though I am not adding input to the throttle. I'm doing the Ride Like a Pro class this weekend. There is no way I am taking the Vaquero for this class.

Are you sure version 3.0 cures the issue you are having ?

That's what I hear Redjay. I tried everything to stay at about 1500 - 1800 RPM in the friction zone to do tight u turns and weaving through cones. I recently cleaned the Air cleaner, throttle Body, changed oil. The rear brakes are like new. My 2021 Road Glide just handles so much better at high and low speeds. I don't think I can bring myself to sell the Vaquero, but I was disappointed today, after having a great slow speed session on the Harley yesterday.

My voyager is so much better at all RPMs with the stock mufflers with the Ivines flash. Liked the sound of the V&H but performance wise stock keeps it smoother.

I know nothing about riding the Vaq or much about Ivan’s reflash since I ride a 1600 Nomad but you listed that you have a power commander as well as the reflash on the Vaq. Could they be fighting each other at slow speed? Just a thought.

Yep, Ivan did not intend on the commander being use with his reflash.

And Ken's response is a glitch in quoting your post. My own response came out the same as his, until I removed the apostrophe from "Ivan's" with an edit. That apostrophe seems to stop the post in it's tracks.

Let us know how the class goes with Ride Like a Pro. I teach a similar class on the small track at Road America, and I've talked with Jerry Paladino a number of times. Though, I'd like to take his class myself to see how I'd do and what I can learn about me and my VN1600. I can do all the moves on my BMW R1200RT but still practicing on my VN1600.
