Stage 1 issue
Here is my setup:
2014 SGS
Screamin Eagle slip ons
S&S air cleaner ( same type of k&n just easier mount system)
Did the SE slip on and air cleaner stage 1 download for 2014/2015 touring.
Went through 5 smart tunes. Bike seemed to be running great at 7500 ft where I live.
Rode to Wisconsin and in the heat the bike would occasionally fart back through air intake when taking off from a stop light. Sometimes it would back fart a second time when cracking the throttle to get going.
Reloaded the stage 1 without doing smart tune to see if that helped but bike was still back farting occasionally.
Acted like it was a carbureted scooter when cold. Also doing it back home at 7500 ft.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Grant.

Someone with more experience can chime in, but I think the different elevations play a role in the problem.
Some people who travel regularly, may have a couple of tunes on their flash tuners to accommodate different situations.
My understanding, one advantage of the TTS I think that is a piggy back that makes the changes on the fly/real time.
My buddy carries his PV with him every where, if he wants to have a day of fun and ripping on it he uses one tune, if we are traveling and its more about mileage he flashes the other tune.
Depending on what tuner you have, and you travel between high and low altitudes, maybe you could have two tunes to bounce back and forth between. Again providing that is the problem.
I hope someone with more knowledge jumps in, I will be watching this thread.

It is quite possible you developed a small intake or exhaust leak that is leaning out the AFR.

Stage I richens to 14.4 AFR
