Default '12 muscle

I bought a 2012 vrod muscle about a month ago. I had few questions. First off I had the factory pipes removed and the dealership threw on vance and hines competion two in on pipe with a power commander V they put the basic map sent from v&h. Also a upgraded air filter. The thing runs rough around 3 to 4 thousand rpms. It hesitates. I was wondering if anyone on here would be able to enlighten me on what i should do. Thanks

My guess is a little light on fuel in that RPM range. I have the V&H competition slip-ons with a K&N filter with a Power Commander on mine and had it tuned right on the dyno by a local performance shop.
I can send you my map and you can load it to see if it performs any better. Or add fuel to your current map in that area.

definate dinotune to get the most out of the bike. those predetermined programs are just base line tune, every bike is different.
