Is it normal for Target Tune to hunt around so much at idle for AFR. I idle at 30-34 KPA. During heat Cycles I noticed the front Cylinder WB02 is 13-17AFR while back stays near targeted 13.8-14.3. TwinCam D&D boarzilla exhaust. Star Racing 650 cams

Also, does Target Tune on a base map with Target Tune enabled supply fuel based on the VE table, or does it supply fuel based off the fuel map for cylinders? Would my base map be so far out that the VE's would make it hunt around that much while idling because of the massive amounts of upgrades I've done. DJ supplied a map that in the description was basically my setup or Dyna I have a softail FLSTFBS but boarzilla 650 cams. I doubt they had the heads done up like I did but would that cause this behavior OR do I have something else going on? Would a intake leak, exhaust leak cause this behavior? Just doesn't seem normal. I'm taking it to a dyno tuner but I want it to be good to go for him.

cams make a huge difference in breathing and injection timing and egr/cde, and....... you get the idea. but yea, even with TT the ECM still does the same thing as it always does, it's just tricked into using WBO2 instead of narrowbands.

This is my log from a heat cycle.. does the WB Front look normal and could be attributed with the tune rather then something else? I appreciate your time. I initially thought it was an intake leak but I've done the intake seals 3 times and now not so sure..

it really doesn't matter. Joe Lyons is the man and can get her going. Thanks for the information
I got my bike back and put about 300 miles on it. I currently have TT/WB hooked up to it. I noticed Hella decel popping and while doing cruising anytime I let off the throttle it jumps to 17 AFR. This is anywhere from 10-25KPA and 1000-4500 RPM. The TPS is at 2-3% enclosed is my log. This is professionally dyno tuned. Any suggestions? Can this hurt my motor? Should I add fuel, spark, or both? Thanks.

Contact who did the tune and let them know. If they're remotely reputable they'll get it in asap and make the needed corrections.
If I run a factory-like closed loop map with adaptive control enabled (which learns and applies correction factors over the set VE table), why is it that we still need to tune our VE tables when we modify the bike? (lets just say Stage 1 mods)
Is it simply because there are areas of the map that are open loop and will never learn through adaptive control? Or is it that adaptive control is in some way inadequate?

it won't hurt the motor. 15-17 AFR on decel isn't abnormal, you've shut the throttle and have high vacuum telling the ECM you aren't under load in the least and it's not putting much/any fuel in. and if decel fuel cut is active it's definitely not putting any in. if you're getting those AFRs when you are on the throttle and MAP values above 50-60, then yes that's when you should be complaining to your tuner. decel popping won't hurt either. that's one that can be difficult to impossible to tune out completely depending on your exhaust type.
