Turn off the motorcycle and wait several moments for the vehicle to completely power down. 10.4 Turn on the ignition again. The gauge will now display “Htr.” After 30 seconds, it will display “Cal,” and then read “22.4” indicating it has been calibrated to open atmosphere. The AFR calibration procedure is complete, and the sensor can now be installed back in the muffler bung. This completes the installation. If required, the vehicle may now be taken to a qualified dyno service for tuning and mapping. IX. FINAL REASSEMBLY With the fuel controller installed, re-check the installation. Verify that all wiring and lines are cleanly routed, and that all connections are secure. Aerocharger Turbo Systems | 12 9.3 The fuel controller can be located anywhere the rider chooses. Aerocharger recommends having it accessible while becoming familiar with the system, such as on the tank. Once the system is fully dialed in, many riders prefer to locate the fuel controller under the seat (913) 829-3400 info@aerocharger.com www.AEROCHARGER.com (913) 829-3400 info@aerocharger.com 13 | Harley-Davidson FL-Series Turbo System Installation Manual APPENDIX E. AFR GAUGE GUIDELINES A. FUELING The Aerocharger turbo system for Harley-Davidson motorcycles has been designed to operate on 91 Octane fuel available at any gas station. B. ENGINE UPGRADES This Aerocharger system is upwardly expandable, and is able to accommodate engine upgrades for increased horsepower output. It is important to note that some aftermarket engine parts will not work in harmony with this system. A poor combination of powertrain variables can reduce efficiency and cost the vehicle overall horsepower. Consult an Aerocharger technician for recommendations on components that work well with Aerocharger-specific applications. C. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE Any aftermarket power-adding product can accelerate wear on a vehicle. However, when properly configured, operated, and maintained, the turbo system should outlast the life of the vehicle. Do not neglect the normal maintenance schedule for your vehicle and pay attention to it’s tune and performance, and the Aerocharged vehicle will easily be capable of thousands of boosted miles. Aerocharger Turbo Systems | 14 • AFR numbers are most important to monitor when the engine is under heavy load, such as heavy acceleration or climbing a hill. • Monitor your air/fuel ratio to ensure that it stays below 12.8 when the engine is under heavy load. • The AFR will spike to very lean levels when decelerating. This is normal. • Sensors should be periodically recalibrated. Always completely remove the sensor from the pipe to get an accurate reading. F. INNOVATE MTX-L AFR GAUGE ERROR CODES D. AEROCHARGER MAINTENANCE The Aerocharger is a sophisticated and highly efficient variable vane turbocharger. Unlike conventional turbos, it does not require oil pumps or lines. The Aerocharger will not need more maintenance than any other turbo - this graphic contains information for adjusting the Aerocharger to ensure best performance. BOOST SPRINGS Aerocharger boost springs are used to set the boost pressure. Every Aerocharger is shipped with a green 5 PSI spring already installed. Available springs include: 5 PSI GREEN 8 PSI BLUE ORANGE 6 PSI GREEN BLUE BLUE 9 PSI ORANGE 7 PSI 11+ PSI BOOST FITTING PN # 66335 JAM NUT BLACK Shims can be added to the springs to increase the boost in increments of about .5 to . 75 PSI.

The bearing and vane systems require specialized tools to take it apart without damaging it. Contact Aerocharger for all service and repairs. www.AEROCHARGER.com INTEGRATED BOOST CONTROLLER CHECKING OIL LEVEL Remove the fill plug and use a zip tie as a dip stick to measure the oil level. HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION Oil should be added if the level is lower 1” (2.5 cm) 1/2” (1.3 cm) than .5” (1.3 cm.) Oil is full at 1” height (2.5 cm.) Use red thread lock fluid on the threads when replacing the fill plug and tighten down securely . VISIT AEROCHARGER.COM TO SEE A VIDEO TUTORIAL ABOUT ADJUSTING THE AEROCHARGER’S BOOST CONTROLLER TO AFFECT TURBO RESPONSE The Integrated boost controller on the Aerocharger is a simple mechanical actuator where pressure in a chamber pushes against a spring to move the vanes. It can be easily disassembled to adjust the boost by changing springs and/or shims. Manual & electronic boost controllers are compatible with Aerocharger systems, but are not recommended.
