Default Fuel Map Failing to Load

I just got back from a quick ride and my bike was not acting right. I noticed the bike was popping a lot when I let off the gas and was not revving smoothly. It ran exactly like it did before I dialed in my PCIII fuel map. I decided to pull over, cut everything off, and sat for about 15-20 seconds. I start back up and it runs perfectly again. I'm assuming the PCIII failed to boot up and load my fuel map.

Also, a little back story. This is maybe the 3rd time this has happened to me in about a year, so it isn't very frequent. The first two times it happened I thought it was stale fuel that caused the issue. One time I poured in some gas from a can I had, the other time I figured there was bad fuel in the pump. For both of those cases I siphoned out the bad fuel and went to another station. Re-filling solved the problem for both cases.

It also seems the problem came up right after I fill up at a gas station. Yesterday afternoon I filled up on the way home. Do you think I may have overfilled the tank on these 3 cases? Or is it most likely just a problem with the PCIII not loading up? I'm curious if anybody else has had similar issues.

Gosh, had to download quote to keep up. A lot of info. Did you get your PCIII from FuelMoto? If so you should contact them about the problem. If not ,I am sorry, you are on your own.

Nope, I did not get my PCIII through them.

Your first step if you suspect it could be an overfill would be to not top it off the next 2 or 3 trips to the gas station.

Does your PCIII have the feature to select between the original and current MAP? If so, maybe the switch is toying with you, if you have one installed.
