I wonder if the Idle Spark Control Gain has anything to do with this?

Are you responding to me? No, as I said, I have idle spark control turned off.

Do you have, and did you check the following tables:
Spark Adjust By Air Temp
Spark Adjust By Engine Temp
Spark Adjust By Head Temp


They should be there if you used the Update Tune Using PV in WinPV

Yes, and I have them set to retard timing, not add obviously. And not in the idle areas anyway.

It would just help understand the issues you are having with your bike.
It happen durring pull clutch and acceleration at higher RPM. Already finishes autotune with more than 10 times and of course I have flashed with the final map and turn off autotune.

If your holding the throttle open while pulling in the clutch to upshift the popping you are getting may be from hitting the REV limiter.

The popping happened when RPM around 2000-2500. So I don't think it hitting the REV limiter. Any idea how to check it ?

2000-2500 popping isn't going to be the REV limiter. You could try lowering the values in the deceleration enleanment table 15-20% or if the popping is longer more drawn out, several pops, lower the AFR values in the 20 Kpa columb in the AFR table. Safe the before map, so if the popping doesn't improve you can undo the adjustments. Loose headpipe or muffler clamps could also contribute to your popping.

Hoping the experts here can help

I bought a new cable and license from Fuel Moto to be able use my PV I had on my 2013 CVO RK on the 2015 RGS I just got. Updated the license put the tun they sent on to the PV and installed the tune ( stock RGS with Harley Davidson Night Sticks on it)

I went for a short ride and the instant MPG was way high and it seemed to get very hot very fast. Bike seemed to run OK


Fuel Moto is closed and I did get a hold of Dynojet and sent them files, was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and what they did to fix it.
