As far as why not rev while riding, the RPM required for slow technical control, me getting off the patio, across the yard, and through the fence, on the Harley is way too precise to try and also manage blipping the engine to keep it running.
As far as oil and tuning, it has the right oil, and it has a custom ECU that handles all the tuning automatically based on how I ride.
One of the mufflers did fall off a few years ago, and to maintain symmetry I removed the other one.
You obviously didn’t read my earlier response, stating that all this is the reason I bought a second, quiet motorcycle for early morning rides to work etc.
The beast only comes out for long trips, and for that I prep it the day before and park it in the street.
I’m not an asshole, I’m just a guy who has a loud bike.

Maybe that’s why the bike is loud as fuck
If the bike had its mufflers removed, then the ECU map won’t work properly.
So many idiots make their bikes louder and slower.
If it has an ECU and can’t idle from cold, something is fucked.
Also, I hope your neighbor starts to knock down walls with a jackhammer at 3am.

Maybe put on mufflers anyway, so your ECU starts working correctly again.
But that defines you as an asshole.
Harleys are not loud from the factory.
muffle

To muffle means to deaden or make a sound quieter by wrapping, covering, or shielding the noise source.
Yeah I think we cracked the case
