Sorry......After getting things sorted out thanks to Steve ....I did about a 200 mile data run yesterday and of course blended the tune in V-tune.....now,when you chop the throttle to come to a stop.....while the bike is compression braking from say 3500 t0 904.......it seems like someone hit the kill switch.....until it reaches 904 rpm and then it comes back to life.....at any given instant while decelerating though, if you bring the throttle off closed position it immediately is alive....I can't tell if it is spark cutting off or fuel.....the sound is exactly if you hit the kill switch.....the only changes that were made that I am aware of was the VE that v-tune suggested......I will go out and take a looksee and see what the spark was doing in those events....just weird how a V-Tune could make a change at idle.....

The calibration is doing that. It's normal. It's NOT making any change at idle. It is all about the decel. Some cals kill the fuel during decel and some do not. This is one of the things within the hidden settings.... that we cannot touch.

My 120R cal, from Steve, kills the fuel.

And... you better be seeing some changes at idle and even lower the rpm to 800 and v-tune there, too. AT this point, it is ALL about the VEs. Did you run the cam tool yet? If not... you need to do so before moving any further forward.

Yes i ran the cam tool first.What I found was interesting.

1. I had the specs for my cam so I manually entered them first time around. My IVO is 20* and IVC is 45* according to S&S specs(585's)...as per instructions I added 1* for the value on IVO 21* and IVC 46*

2. I ran the Cam data tool for kicks and found that I had a different value than what i had entered manually from my specs. I used settings 3 and 3 and the bike really was a lot more responsive than 4 and 3.....so I started tuning with that. EQC176-03........

3. I do not like the way my bike cuts off on decel....now, I do still have everything disabled in ECM constants and I did manually change my closed throttle spark to 25* from 20* however closed throttle spark was at 25* on the tune prior and the engine was not cutting off at closed throttle decel.
