You cant really tell much from plugs with a FI bike. Its not like a carb bike where you can make a few runs shut it down and read the plugs

Im not a PCV guy but I know that you can add fuel to the MAP on you PC. Also if you got it from Fuel Moto they have a much larger library of MAPs than Dynojet.

unfortunately i didnt buy it from FM, im not going solely off the plugs. that was just one big thing that was very noticable i mentioned. i have never fooled with the program on the PC except to laod the maps and that is straight forward. i need to look it uup and see if i can find something again. hoping somebody has the info or a link to it

You can start by installing the 2" baffles. They sound better and produce better numbers. May solve your lean condition or retune from there.

im not changing any components right now, the 2'' baffles didnt sound goo i dont have them anymore anyways. this set up ran fine foralmost 2 years. i moved from TN to IL and not long after this issue started. may be elevation diff, usually not a big deal on FI bikes but something is causeing it. im not going to be running this exhaust forever, ive order CFR but they are back ordered and im tired of my bike not running right
