Before I start save your bs answers about "anyone can win a harley now, you can ride it but cant fix it" f.u. if you want to leave one of those im not a mechanic. Anyway I in recent times installed a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather kit on my bike and I am taking it to have it dynod surrounded by a couple weeks. My question is am i ok to ride my bike or will it be running to lean? I started it after i got the a/c installed and it blew black smoke which as i grasp is a characteristic of running too rich, this was right after i started it though and it be still so cold so it may have just be part of the warm up sequence I assume. I guess what i want to know is, is like peas in a pod amount of air being taken into the engine near the new breather as with the stock due to the certainty that I havent updated the ecm with the race tuner? save why would i be running rich? I appreciate the help.

If you didn't do the exhaust, the airflow will be close to the same. If you opened up the exhaust, the airflow will be greater due to smaller quantity restriction on both ends.
I opened my intake first, and the bike ran one and the same. Plugs didn't change color. They looked a little lean the in one piece time. Funny thing is, she would always blow for a time black at startup. More noticable in the cold. I added a DFO when I modded the exhaust.
My guess, you'll be ok.
Check your plugs a few times to be sure.
When Things changed. The computer will reajust the fuel injector. by oxygen sensor, Air temperator, engine temperature, , Bar pressure, Etc,
You should be fine near it, And Follow other told you to check sparkplugs, Also When you have cool or cold weather, You will notice black smoke. That bestow you more gas like choke system but your bike dont have choke. When the engine start thaw up. The fuel will decrease. and It will stop black smoke.
Ok ... What i would recommend: I would go run it for 10-15 minutes. I would then come home and verbs your spark plugs and look at them ... this amount of time should give you an indication how its running. Your new nouns cleaner is less restrictive so it will change the fuel nouns mixture. Back to the plugs, look here for pictures on how its running. There are 29 pictures and if its safe or not.

Good luck and get rear legs in the wind

Answers: First of all, don't permit anybody give you a hard time in the order of not being able to work on your bike. A lot of those "experts" don't know their hind finish off from a hole in the ground. A very adjectives response I've seen on here is that "you'll burn valves". If doesn't matter whether you're shifting pipes, air filters or even varying the seat or license plate, everything is going to burn valves. An expert I'm not, but I know my stuff and totally little fools me. I've scolded some of the "valve burner" a few times, so hopefully they'll maintain their expert opinions to themselves.
But about your bike, ride it. It may run lean and consequently again it may not. If it's running lean, chances are you'll get sluggish accelleration and it may also appear to miss when accellerating. It's kind of hard to describe, but a too rich miss is "soft" intuition, kind of like someone whopping you within the head with a pillow. A too lean miss is sharper and more similar to whacking you in the herald with a ball bat. If it's slightly lean, it's adjectives to feel surging when traveling at steady throttle. If extremely lean, it'll ping, especially when accellerating. If it pings, back stale and get it rejetted before doing much more.
The suggestion of checking spark plugs is a honest idea, but you're better off getting an extra set, preferabaly brand new, run the bike around until throughly warmed up, stop change plugs and consequently run it at a constant speed for 5-10 miles if possible. Pull over and remove the plugs being wise to not burn yourself and look at the plugs. If the fuel air mix is ok, the porcelain should vary surrounded by color from off white to a light sunburn. Black and sooty with soot that comes off efficiently onto your finger (careful, it's still hot!) definately means too rich. If the porcelain is nearly snow white and has little white blisters, next it's certainly running too lean.
The reason for varying to new plugs after the bike is warmed up is so that the richer starting mixture doesn't skew the optical results.
If you think it's running a little lean of it a short time ago doesn't seem right, replace the plugs and find a little traveled stretch of road, preferabaly lacking cops. In high gear, open the throttle cavernous open, hold it there and let'er devour. If you get missing or stuttering, close the throttle maybe 1/4 of the passageway and if it stops missing, it's probably running too lean. The thing about pipes or nouns cleaners that flow better is that at normal throttle openings, they might not trademark any improvement over the stock items. Only at wide expand throttle was the OEM stuff causing a restriction.
If you come up with it runs fine at normal throttle openings, get good fuel mileage, starts ok and the plugs look ok but it's slightly lean wide interested, you may wish to leave things alone unless you run it far-reaching open all the time, which I'm sure is doubtful. I ride Kawasakis but I know Harleys powerfully enough to know you guys are straddling enough horsepower that you seldom entail full throttle.
I'm not sure if your bike has a throttle position sensor or not, but if it does and it's running lean or rich, you may be able to adjust the TPS slightly to increase or diminution the amount of fuel delivered at a particular throttle crack. Most digital fuel injection systems use a TPS but the early electronic fuel injection systems relied on air flow sensors to relate the computer how much fuel to inject.
So, I suggest you run'er, and if you're satisfied with the road it runs and nothing seems out of the unexciting, you not worry about messing beside or spending money on the computer.
One other thing, when whacking undo the throttle on fuel injected bikes, it's not uncommon for them to make a puff of black smoke. That's because fuel injection is instantainous where on earth it's not on carburated bikes.
