First thing the bike only pings lets say if im do 60 mph and want to accelerate to 70 mph little ping but stops right away. So I did check and change plugs, checked for exhaust leaks. I could most likely ride this way foe ever but I like my **** tight. Talking to the tuner I use he said a tune out of the box works some of the time but most likely it off. So I think I will take it to him and let him do his thing. Thanks all for the input.

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter?
So I swapped my stock pipes and air cleaner on my 883 Iron,
which is why I bought the DynoJet Tuner. I autotuned the bike by riding 20 mins....
loaded that map...rode another 20 mins....loaded that map...and then did the same
thing one more time. The bike runs fine, but when I 1st start the bike (cold) it
sputters a lot and almost wants to stall (unless I throttle it a little). After that
it runs fine. Any idea why this may happen at every cold start?
So a couple things I want to comment on. @BikeEnthusiast7 20 minutes? Really? Not long enough. Ride it for at least 45-90 minutes. Also the auto tune doesn’t do much at idle. Look elsewhere, maybe a loose/poor connection from your changes.
@touchdown either use the bike or the power vision to read the codes. I prefer the PV. Something is different. Heck even run it connected and ride for a while and watch temp and other items. Tunes don’t suddenly get stale. Start with pulling your air filter and cleaning it and while it is out of the way, poke around a bit to make sure everything looks right.
