nah im not paying 300 now and turn around and have to have it dynoed again in a few months when I upgrade the cam. lol
My 17 ran just fine with decatted headers and PV tuner. If its not the manifold or any other mechanical issue, I"ll see what the update map from FM does.

Jesse still says it's the tune, so we'll see in a few days I guess.

Thanks.
To add to this, I will say the main reason for decatting and installing those headers on was for heat. I added lower fairings with speakers last summer. Again, did the headers first of this year. I've been trying to think if I noticed the heat back then, and I don't think I do. Anyway, the bike runs REALLY hot now. I wear shorts sometimes and its almost unbearable. Just a short ride last weekend to my local dealer, and my right inside thigh was red and itching from the heat rash. I attributed the increase in heat to adding the lowers, but like I said, before the decatted headers, it wasn't this hot as far as I remember.
Starting to really point to the tune, or at least something causing the fuel to not burn off maybe.

Maybe the tune fm sent me was the incorrect one, or maybe I missed providing a certain bit of information to get the correct tune...either way, I have submitted a map request based on the tune that FM gave me that was auto tuned a few times trying to correct my issues. SO it was the latest corrected tune I had running.
A copy of a tune is NOT a tune, I don't care who provided it for what combination.

Ever since I made the swap, the bike hasn't run very well. I thought it must be the limits on the SE tuner and or the torque cam. I even ran a couple of SE smart tunes, but it didn't improve the rough running.
So, I had the PV tuner nd thought I would go ahead and purchase the license to tune this bike, since eventually I'm going aftermarket cam anyway. I loaded the PV tune from FM and had hoped that would clear it up. It didn't.
