Default Man my bike runs GREAT, but....

Just got a FM Micro tuner and had a map downloaded from FM and the throttle response is so good now and the power is super good compared to stock but the bike runs hot. 78 degrees out today in the northeast with sunny skies and low humidity. perfect day for riding but the bike seems to be running hot. At a long red light it wants to go into parade mode. never did this before the Micro tuner was installed. I just don't wanna mess up the throttle response and the way it runs once im riding down the road. Its almost perfect. Decisions. Decisions

I have Parade Mode shut off. Very annoying. Not really an issue for regular riding anyway.
Have them check the download, mine runs great with no problems other than 35MPG around town.

Why do you care if parade mode kicks in at idle?

Let's see, you never had the problem before installing the tuner and now you do. But other then that is runs "almost perfect..."

Sounds like you're second guessing your decision and now you want someone to make you feel better.

Get a REAL tuner...
