Nothing fancy, just a Nexgrill 5 burner with side burner.
Mick, have you used smoker boxes in yours?

Just like Christmas, some assembly required.
I remember the last time you tangled with a gas grill, we had to take cooking duties away from you.

So despite being told (righlty so) to walk away, I didn't. Got the bike back together and ran the wiring much cleaner. Installed new throttle cables, adjusted the clutch cable, got the new bars on and will ship out the other bars tomorrow.

Also ran a new(er) tune. Got the bike down the road, maybe good enough to get to the shop. But i think I'm almost close enough to try to autotune again first. AFM read 14.6 but would climb to 13 under acceleration and even to 12.1 under hard acceleration. At least ill have something to show the shop if I can't get it right myself.

Top 10 most frustrating days in my recent past few years.

Chris carefully read about your powervision the AFR you are seeing is not the actual AFR it is the tunes setting it is trying to achieve at that VE and MAP

The AFR readout i got was from the datalog. Sure that's not the readout from the o2 sensors? I'll check again

When I was talking to Jamie he explained when tuned properly those numbers will be very close to actual , they change the VE tables to get the AFR they want under specific conditions

Add gas 12-1 more power 14.5 -1 better fuel economy

So what it's showing me is it's running efficient while being smooth and adds fuel to roll on power?

Yes and auto tune will adjust the VE tables to make sure the tune is with in possible ranges . IE : making sure you are not adding more gas then you can efficiently use
