2014 Ultra .

New to both the forum and HD Life. Bought a new to me 2014 Ultra Limited with 60k miles. Love the bike so far. Only had the chance to put just over 2k on it due to the weather, but I have no complaints. My issue is that I bought a Power Vision 4 and installed a new map. Gives the bike MUCH more power, but whenever I shift into 6th the bike bogs under acceleration. I can go as fast as I want in 5th, but no acceleration at all in 6th. I assume it's the map I installed. Any suggestions? Arlen Ness air cleaner and Python slipons are all the additions I have.

Nice bike. Congratulations. From where did you get the PV4 and the map?

Congrats on the bike. If you’ve bought your PV4 from Fuel Moto reach out to them - great folks and will work with you to address the issue.

At what speed and rpm are you shifting to 6th? Alot of people say 6th is all but unusable below 70 mph + and it's definitely not a passing gear.

I shift into 6th around 80mph.

6th isn't much of a power gear. It's good for holding speeds above 65-70 on the highway. If the engine is actually bogging down - losing RPMs as you increase throttle - then a map issue would be suspected. If the bike is losing speed despite throttle input, and RPMs are rising, it would point to a slipping clutch.
