Default Same Map or Not Same Map ? FM

OK, so i switched from 4" Jackpots w/comp baffles to the CFR Slip Ons, Loss of low end torque and seems to be running hotter.

I contact Fuel Moto, they said use the map i currently have?

I am getting used to the little loss of performance but I do not like the hotter temp.

Any thoughts?

If you increase the air flow, then you need to increase the fuel delivery or the bike is going to run leaner and hotter. Take a copy of your current MAP and install a new MAP for your specific application, or, modify the existing MAP and add more fuel to it. Other things you can do to cool you and the bike down is :-
1. Add a Jagg 10 row oil cooler.
2. Remove the lowers.
3. Change to a 2-1 (pro-pipe) to get rid of the Y.
4. New MAP (as above).

Your loss of back pressure increased reduced your low end torque, increased air flow making it run leaner. A new map will help run cooler but probably will not do anything to add low end torque.

If it's a Power Vision, Auto Tune the map you have.

No Lowers to remove.
I am not going to spend more money for exhaust.

I have the PCV (Which I Purchased from FuelMoto)

AT this point I am only concerned about the heat.

AND

I AM Shocked that Fuel Moto wont try and help me.

I have heard nothing but good things which is why I Purchased
my PCV and Jackpots from them. Pretty disappointing.

Soooooo....why are you keeping the CFRs, if they reduced your torque, and make the bike run hotter?

I love the sound of the CFR's and was hoping FUEL MOTO would step up and help with a new MAP to reduce the heat.

As i mentioned in my 1st post, I can live with the loss of torque (I still have plenty with the Andrews 57H Cam and the Fulsac Head Pipe)

Naw, not going to pull out the PCV only to buy another Tuner.
All I am after is a little cooler running engine.

I was hoping FUEL MOTO would step up!

Have you tried some of the maps on the Power Commander site? You can try a few that are a close match to your set up and see if one of them will do the trick. They are free for the pickin', and you can always adjust some of the settings.
