From the rpms and mph you described, you are in 6th gear. The stock bikes do tend to lug in 6th. You can add some timing and fuel in that area from 60 to 100% load area. On the PCV that would be the 40 to 100 % throttle position. 10% more fuel and 2 to 4 degrees more timing may help. The 110 is bad about lugging in that area. Put a 30 tooth front pulley and 139 tooth belt and it will make a large difference. You will have to have a different tuner to change the speedo. 6th gear will be very useful and can accelerate about like 5th. Lots more fun and will only make about 300 more rpms.

The cruise range is from 60% and lower. The area I am talking about is above 80%. He doesn't have a laptop with him anyway. I have attached the timing map I have used on a power commander 5 for long time. Works great. As you can see do remove timing from cruise range. Never had a ping and runs really smooth. I also attached a fuel map . I could have uploaded the map but that would make it too easy.

Hello,
I'm on a week long trip out east and am having issues with my PC-V. I bought it from Fuel Moto and have worked with tech support once already on this issue. When I'm running between 2600-2900 rpm the bike lugs on acceleration. It's not really noticeable in normal riding because you pass that range very quickly. Riding down the highway is bad though. It falls between 70-80mph. I have all intentions of working with Fuel Moto to correct the map, but I can't on my trip because I don't have my laptop.
My question is do you think there are any risks in bypassing the tuner for the rest of the week and taking care of this once I'm home?

Something a tad off w/the accel fuel @ that RPM range. Your CVO was tuned fm factory for installed upgrades and original exhaust is probably similar to ProPipe so, if you can't tolerate the tuner hiccup, take it out of the picture. Worth a shot and, if it seems to run too lean/rich, can always re-connect tuner and press-on.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I spoke to FM tech support and a local HD dealer in Utica, NY and they said I should be fine for the rest of the trip with just unplugging it. Thanks for the reminder about the o2 sensors, I did forget I unplugged those when I installed the PCV.
