Default Revving too high...

So those of you who've been following my Heartland install know that I did a lot of messing around under the seat. Since then, I've noticed that the bike's been revving very high. In fact, I can feel the difference in the handlebars. The exhaust note sounds the same, but there's definately something... different. Also, the MPG seems to be suffering.

My question is this: is it possible that I messed with the fuel management module while I was doing the other work? Is that even possible? Does the module control RPM's?

I would think it might be your throttle cables first. Do you have an efi tuning device? What are you referring to as the fuel management module?

I am referring to the small box with wires that was added to my bike to compensate for there being no fuel management when I had the V&H's installed.

I have the Cobra F2000R module.

I would think if it was revving faster your exhaust would sound different...Does your tuner have any buttons or anything on it? Did you unhook your tuner when you installed the kit?
