Running Rich ?
I picked up a 2006 Road King (tc 88) that came with a stage 1 and power commander 3 and Rush touring mufflers 2.0 baffles that sounds and runs great! I had it hooked up to see if the settings were right and it is! However at stop lights and driving I can smell light hints of fuel nothing over bearing but enough to bug me! I'm thinking it's running rich and a sight adjust might clear that up but like I said the programmer reads spot on! The bike is in new condition with only 4600 miles!!!! More fumes than gas!
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
thanks!

Your overlooking a coupls of pieces of info when saying the bike is possibly running a bit rich which are what what's mpg city/open road and have you pulled the plugs to see what they look like too?
Since your smelling fuel at idle could be fuel curve was programmed a bit rich at idle only in an attempt to keep motor a bit cooler in traffic.
LOL,just realized after hitting save someone posted same thing!
