Default Moody bike? Performance issue.

Question, some days my bike runs great. Went on a poker run yesterday and ran perfect. Today it lugs along like I'm carrying a 250lb old lady on the back, lol. Any ideas?..2014 SB

Hot vs cold weather? Different quality gas? Is it a fairly big difference or minor?

Clean and tighten battery cables. Take the tuner out of the system and see if it still does it, go from there. May also want to adjust your clutch basket, clutch may be slipping.

Weather was about 40-50deg on the run, and around 72 today. I got to thinking, we did get rained on pretty good, and my air filter got a little wet, don't know if that'd cause an issue the next day? Weathers supposed to be ***** the next couple days, I'll see how it acts when I get a chance to get it out for a bit.

It's not a huge difference in performance, but I can def tell
