There's probably an obvious answer to this, but I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer...
Installed a PCV on my 2010 Ultra Classic when it had about 12k miles on it. Jamie mapped it according to the upgrades (Jackpot cat-less header, tuned 4.5" mufflers, stage 1 intake).
Now at over 65k miles, should I have it remapped to account for the mileage? It seems to be running fine, but things can change slowly and I might not be noticing. Hate to get caught fixing something that don't need fixing!
If the bike is still mechanically sound in the engine no need to remap. If it is using oil or losing compression need to fix. Wear doesn't change the tune or should I say the tune won't fix wear. Mileage being down I would put in plugs and new air cleaner and see if that helps. Also make sure the IAC valve is clean and a leaking injector can cause mileage loss. If the mileage was once good and the tune hasn't been changed then it should still be good. You aren't running O2's so that isn't the problem. How much and when did the mileage change?

Thanks for the info... The engine seems to be running great... Was just curious if a re-map might be in order. A little confusion seems apparent though... My mileage is still very good too. I was just giving the mileage on the odometer at the time I installed the PCV and the miles I have put on it since then. But thanks!!
