The power delivery is good through the rpm range I have an 06 ultra with fm ac and stock pipes with the baffles removed. Any ideas why when i loaded the tune should I have reset the trims on the pv controller? Trying to fix the issue if I can before bugging fm when it might be something simple. Thanks in advance for any help given.
I typically reset the trims on every load unless I change something simple like idle RPMs. The trims will re-learn pretty quick. Your tune sounds a little rich. That's why your getting the fumes and the reduced mileage. I'm no expert by any means but if you want to send me your PVT file I will take a look and make some recommendations. I have spent the last 6 months reading everything I can find on tuning and working with multiple bikes as well.

And much much more. There is an idle rpm table under the airflow tab in WinPV. My idle is set at 950. Don't go any lower than 900 as the oil pressure may not be sufficient. For this reason I don't like to go lower than 950 because it swings plus or minus 50 consistently. A lot of guys run 925 to 975 though. See what your bike likes.

Yes you can adjust it from the PV. If you have the latest firmware you can adjust the idle rpm adder under program vehicle - quick tune. Just adjust it negatively. Or as you mentioned plug it into the PC and change the idle in WinPV.

I haven't tried it yet but I think it changes the tune loaded in the ECM.
