Did you do anything else with the bike besides the PCV, pipes, and A/C?

Nothing to the bike other than slip ons, PCV and A/C. Bike is only a week old --was running great. Bike smokes with or without PCV. Would a/c alone without remap or PCV cause it to smoke? If it would, at least i'll know it didnt screw anything up on the install and it's something with PCV.

May have wrong map - Fuelmoto sent it to me again, so I'll reinstall and update firmware. . How to you tell if PCV is working??

Again, I am no expert but I do have the Fuelmoto package and have no smoke. If the PCV is not installed, it would most likely run lean and smoke. Did you unplug the O2 sensors and plug in the little bypass thingies that came in the kit?

I wasn't aware that oil went through those bolts, only air I thought. You have the (3) little o0rings installed right? Don't mean to be asking dumb questions but you never know. Maybe try an pull the main fuse again and hook up the PCV again and reinstall the fuse????? Just to reset it.

Two original breather bolts were removed and replaced with 2 different bolts with o-rings. How would oil get in? How would I tell?



I'll update firmware, reinstall map, reset everything and try again, unless someone has another idea. So much for plug and play

I'd reinstall the stock muffs and see if it smokes before I'd ride it again. Hope you get it fixed soon, I feel your pain.
