Unhappy Lost power? Help!

Hi guys,

I need some advice. My setup is as follows:
Bassani Road Rage II B4M
S&S Super Stealth Air cleaner
Powervision1

When I installed the pipe everything seemed to be working fine, I plugged the PV1 rode around to tune it and flashed the ECM with the new tune. But lately I feel like I lost quite a bit of power at lower speeds and I get decal popping. Can somebody advise on what I should do? Can I plug the PV1 again and try to retune it? What's the best way to do it? Do I need to take it to a dyno guy?

Thanks,
Kasia

Did you flash a tune to it originally. Where did you get the base map. Need more info as to which bike you have it on. Good possiblility you need a base map that is for your setup before you will get it to work right. Even if it came from Fuel Moto you still have to install the base map.
If you have the 01 Fatboy I don't think it has O2 sensors and won't autotune. If you don't want to do the maps yourself about only choice would be to get a map from someone or have it dynotuned. A lot of dyno tuners won't work with the PV.

Well that was dumb! sorry - I have a 2013 road glide custom. I got the tune from dynojet I believe. I have the stock narrow band o2 sensors hooked up.

Here is a map that should work pretty good for you. I wouldn't run the autotune until you run it for a few hundred miles. If it is running ok and mileage ok not much to be gained by auto tuning. My reasoning is you need to know how it is running and if the autotune changed any of the areas to worse performance you don't need to accept it. Due to not being able to send the pvt extension on the forum this map is zipped and will need to be unzipped before you can load it into the WinPV software. Also if you haven't updated software and firmware on the PV you need to do that. It is very simple to do and doesn't matter if it is new or not. It needs updating. the way you do it is with PV attached to an online computer with WinPv on it but not opened select program tree and under power vision folder select Update Client. It will open and tell you to hook up the PV which is already hooked up and it will list the needed updates and which ones to do first. Just follow the directions. Most important you do that. This map has all the updates done to it and may not work right if you don't update. Any problems with the map let me know with some details like what rpm and throttle position and what is happening.
