Default PC 5 question, idle is way off?

I got one for you guys, today i took the scoot out in the 37 degree weather because the withdrawls were to much. my bike was running fine when all of a sudden at a stop light my bike started idling real low like it was just hitting on one cylinder, loss of power and sounded horrible.
About 2 weeks ago my battery ran down to nothing i had to take it off and recharge it and rode it home, today was the first time i rode since the battery died. Can the PC lose its map or lose the map on one cylinder? Im at a loss, Ive heard the PC can lose there maps?

Im running stage 1 AC, PC5 and wrapped thunderheader on a o7 streetbobob

This could also be a sign of crank position sensor having an issue.

I wont say that the PC couldn't lose it's map but it is burned into the memory of the unit and does not rely on power to store it. The easiest way to check would be to hook it up to your computer and Get Map and compare it to your original map or at the very least check to see if the comments for your bike are still there. I really doubt it lost the map.

Check your battery voltage. I'll bet the battery is toast and there isn't enough voltage to properly run the electronics.
