Default 2019 Lowrider running rich

I have a 2019 softail lowrider. I have the 475 S&S cams and upgraded oil pump. I use the FP3 tuner and after auto tuning multiple times my rear cylinder is running rich and I can’t get it to stop. My fuel consumption is quite bad aswell. Any advice or how to fix this? Should I get in touch with V&H maybe they have a map for this? Thank you.

I have a 2018 Low Rider with S&S 475 cam. Mine runs way better when I lean out the cells at and just above the idle. I think the overlap with this cam allows fresh air into the exhaust which the O2 sensor reads as a lean condition so it adds more fuel when in fact the mixture was ok.
How do you know that the rear cylinder is running rich?
V&H should be able to help.

If so, you need to adjust your VM and or fuel map a bit. Then do some data logging and Che k.

not sure how much tuning you have.

might not be a bad idea to get a base map from Dynojet. But you still will want to get it tweaked afterword

I meant to clarify, my check engine light keeps popping up and reads code rear cylinder running rich. I clear the code and it appears after half hour or so of riding. Overall performance of the bike is good.

Ahh ok. Might want to check your o2 sensor.

FP3 sucks at tuning anything beyond Stage1.
Get A PowerVision or have the bike Dynotuned.

9 times out of 10, that code will go away if you clean the connector contacts and make sure the wiring looks good to your rear O2 sensor.
