I increased column "0" at the 750, 1000, 1250 rpm settings by +5. Mine were all set to "0" so I set them on both cylinders to "5".

So apparently you were running a tad too lean at idle. I wonder if this fix will work for everyone with this EITMS hesitation problem? What escapes me is that when you move off from idle you will not be at 0% TP, more like 2-5% at first, and I would think that would be the place to add the extra fuel to avoid stumbling.

I emailed Jamie and he suggested setting my 750, 1000, and 1250 @ 0% to +6%. They were at 3 and 4 I think. I set them to 6% and have yet to have it stumble.

I am having similar issues with a PC-V on my 2012 Street Glide. First occurred in March (here in NY) so I was pretty confident it wasn't a temp issue. PCV was replaced by the Guy I purchased it from. I turned off the EITMS and it seemed to run fine until today. It was 90 plus degrees and I was at a red light. Light turned green, I hit the throttle and pfttttttt, bike stalled, smelled raw fuel from exhaust (I think it was coming from the left side muffler) and wouldn't restart. Coasted off to the side of the road, disconnected PCV, bike started right up. I rode it to a parking lot, reconnected PCV, bike started and ran until I got on it merging into traffic on a highway! Pftttttttttt... Sputter and stalled again! I coasted to a stop, disconnected PVC, reconnected O2 sensors under side cover and bike ran fine rest of the day!

A couple questions for anyone with an answer... please help!!!

On the 2012 SG with a PCV, once the EITMS is turned off, does it stay off until it is manually turned back on?

Known issues with late model touring bikes with PCV when you get on the throttle hard?

Any suggestions to get my PCV working properly.

I have others on other bikes I have and they rock so... I'd like my SG to rock as well!

Thanks in advance!

this thread is around 3 years old, you may consider starting a new one...otherwise I can't be much help here...my PCV on my 11 flhrc runs great and has no issues and it stays in etms when it is turned on (if it actually needs it to turn on) I have wards fans on my bike so it never comes on..
