I purchased a tuner from little about a month or so ago from Fuel Moto and today was the first time I was able to ride it. I had it programmed for the 3" Hard Krome Res Tech exhaust I put on it and also the stage 1 kit from them. When I was cruising today it seemed to act a little funny on the interstate. When I would go to speed up, I would twist the throttle, then the bike would rev pretty high, take a sec or so to kind of kick in to actually speed up. Almost like it it was searching for the power band or something. Otherwise, the bike started up, idled fine, and ran good, but there is definitely an issue with the top end. Any ideas? The bike didnt run like that before. And I did email Jamie, just curious what you guys think.

 

Sounds to me like your clutch might be slipping.

 

I wasnt even using the clutch, I was in 5th gear and only using the throttle.

 

Right, thats the point, your clutch could be slipping

 

if the motor revs up- and the wheel doesn't go faster- then the clutch is slipping.

take it in and have the adjustment checked.

you could try yourself, but it might be smarter to have an experienced hand take care of it for you

Nothing to add just in agreement with all of the above.

 

Ok, the painter had the clutch disconnected, so hopefully thats the problem

 

Another vote for a slipping clutch.

What are the chances you are running synthetic in your primary? If you are, get it out and try it again.

 

A thought to consider is that you are possibly in (Denver) at the mile high elevation and Fuel Moto dynos and provides maps with their elevation. I purchased PCV with auto tune and i am at 3600 ft elevation, i had lots of corrections in the map with auto tune and it runs great now. Elevation does have an effect on tune.
Good luck,

 

This my thought also, before seeing this post. Just installed mine last week and it works great right out of the box.
