Default Bike dies at stoplights

Hi all,

I have an 08 EG Standard. Fuel Moto's Rush slip ons, Arlen Ness Big Sucker and PC111 USB.&nbsp\\; At stoplights the bike dies.&nbsp\\; It sputters a little and then dies.&nbsp\\; One time I saw a puff of smoke from the AC area. It easily starts again. Help!!!

Hector

PS: Short post, forum problems!

Could try taking out the pc3 and try that. If it goes away, put back pc3 and&nbsp\\;try different map that matches setup as close as possible.

I am thinking of putting the same set-up on my UC.&nbsp\\; Let me know what the solution to your problem is.

Called Keith at Fuel Moto.&nbsp\\; He suggested I zero out all the values in the 0 throttle colum (I had 5 in the 1000 RPM line) I will test it for the next few days and post back.

Navyman, go for it! Other than this issue the bike runs and sounds better. The guys at Fuel Moto are great and their price is reasonable.

Try waiting until the "key" light goes out before starting the engine.
Mine's done this very same thing. When its hot, it has died at a light and won't idle. I've turned the key switch off, turned back on, turned run switch on and waited for light to go out. Cranked up with no problems there after.

Thanks! I knew what you meant ! and I always wait for the light to go out before I hit the run switch. I got a possible solution from Keith at Fueld Moto, but I have not been able to really test it.&nbsp\\; Probably won't be able to check if it worked until this weekend.
