When I started it earlier and just blipped the throttle you could here it was not running right before I even rode. This was after the PC was off. I have put the PC back on and started it an blipped the throttle and it is not sounding like it's firing on one cylinder. We'll see what happens when I leave to go home.

Fingers crossed.

On a car I can look at fuel trims and misfire data and usually make an educated decision where to go next. I presume dealers have this capability?

Reminds me I need to ask snappy if my verus scan tool has hd available sounds like he just showed up speak of the devil.

My bike does not go to the dealer...ever. I can already hear the pitch. "You have a crappy tuner, you need an S/E tuner and dyno tune to fix that."

My scan tool doesn't do hd. I hear ya on the dealer thing. I guess I was thinking out loud about my buddy's needing me to do diagnosis eventually and me especially. Good luck on your problem.

Apparently you didn't hear about my last dealer experience. I'll leave it at that.

So whatever it was it is fixed. A lsit of what I did was
1) Remove the PC and still had the problem.
2)Replace the plugs still had the problem
3)Reroute all wiring under my seat (which I recently changed) seemed to help a little.
4)Unplug and reseat plug wires on both ends on both plugs
5)unplug and reseat the fuel connection on the tank

I am not sure if it was one thing or a combo of several but I rode home without issue so I'm a happy camper. I checked codes even though the CEL did not come on and I only had the two codes for turn signal voltage as I have the CD LED signals which have always worked perfect with the load equalizer.

Your thoughts?

I would have to guess the connections to & from the PCV, hope it never comes back, it's the bad thing with a PC, which I have also, or any add-on tuner compared to a flash tuner.

Oh yeah, no corrosion at all on any of the plug components. They all look brand spanking new.
