Very likely. When you say you went with "the closest one" what exactly do you mean by that. Your AC and pipes will certainly open up the airflow significantly for you engine, therefore requiring more fuel to be dumped in there as well. If you don't, you will run very lean. That explains the heat, and very likely the stalling as well.

 

I went with what the guy told me has been working for him and some of his customers ( the exhaust was made by a independent dealer, so his exhaust isn’t a well known name brand) so the map was not listed he suggested the map that he gave me because of what him and his customers have been using…..What confuses me though we went on a big ride two weeks ago and everything was fine????

 

The short & sweet is, if you don't put it on a dyno and get an actual A/F measurement, you don't have a clue how rich or lean your running.

If you don't at least have an oil temp gauge, you don't know how hot you're running.

Your problem could be heat, electrical, fuel mixture, or a combination of the above. No one can solve that for you on a forum without some factual data.

You need to get some real numbers.

 

Let me know how you make out , im riding a 07 duece , vance and hines pipes .. big sucker air cleaner and a PCIII ... had it dyno'd and bike runs sweet but riding into Conneticut i had the exact same thing happen to me minus the black smoke ..ive ridin the thing harder and on hotter days than yesterday so i dont think its a over heating issue and it started and ran just fine after but did stall on me 3 times at lights .Thnx for any help

This I know….I was just tryin to get ideas of what it could be or to see if anyone has had an issue similar in the past that hasn’t shared yet (Searched the forum). I do plan on taking it in to the shop but all of the places that I want to take it to are all closed until tomorrow….So basically I was just throwin it out there to get some feedback until I get the answers soon….

 

EXACTLY!! I've ran my bike at 80 mph for 600 mile in a day. That was working the 883 engine pretty good, but it was more than ready for the task.

 

This same thing happened to me twice shortly after installing the pcv/autotune on my sportster... Riding down the freeway, exit and come to a stop and the bike sputtered then shut off. I'm not sure about the smoke thing since no one was riding with me. Anyway, I checked all of the connections of the pcv/autotune and made sure nothing was loose. I've never had a problem since. Hope you get this solved.

 

Man, Not for nothing, but this sounds almost excatly like my problems with Medusa. What you are going through is a pretty accurate description of the same problems I had. Get to a dealer sooner rather than later. After 6 months of being in the shop I finally got my ride back. Had to replace the entire bottom and plus the pistons and lifters, along with new jugs. The culprit???? Depends on who you are talking to. One of the issues? Collapsed oil lines.

 

Thanks guys for all the feedback.....this is what i was lookin for to see if anyon has had the problem before....

glis674 once I get the problem solved i'll post what it was and what the solution was...

Soup, Thanks for the input, I hope its not that serious....but if it is i'll get to the bottom of it one way or another...I don't want to blow it off then it comes back and bites me in the A$$...

 

Yea I did Know this. it was a very cool day and oil was just changed. Don't really think that would really have any thing to do with it. after i got home i checked the oil again. wasn't cloudy like it had water in it. I'm also running the 20/50 syn from mobile1.
