Default Tuning question

Hey all,

Just thought I would reach out to the forum for some help. I have a 13 sporty custom with 2-1 cobra and screamin eagle AC.
So last week I replaced the gaskets on the pipes due to air leak and since then I noticed at a stop I it seems to stall a bit before taking off. Once moving it’s fine no hesitation or dead spots, but it’s only off the line I get this hesitation. I have a PCV without the auto tune and a canned map installed. I was looking to tweak the map a tad on the lower end to see if this would help or even adjust the timing.
What are your thoughts? Any info will be useful and anyone knowledgeable on tuning would be of a great help.
Just an FYI i am familiar with PC”s and the map chart on the PCV just wanted to get someone else perspective.

Might sound daft but have you checked your revs when the bikes still with no throttle. Idle might need adjusting slightly. Just thought it might be worth throwing out there.

Cool Too Lean ..???

You might try to increase the accelerator pump volume about 5%....should be better of idle and quicker when jumping in the throttle at speed ...
click configure , increase duration for 3 rev's and amount by 5% ...(take picture of setting before making changes ...just in case)
hope this helps ..
good luck
