Mine used to smell very rich at idle and especially when the motor was cold, I havn't done anything to the settings on the PC yet, but it doesn't smell as rich as it used to. Im wondering if its lost its map somehow.

I guess it could have, but I would not expect the bike to run very well with a 0 map, unless it defaulted back to a 'good' factory default which I guess would be likely. Only one way to tell for sure...hook it up to a computer. :)

Sorry, I have not. We left for Easter with my in-laws that day and have not been back at the bike. I will be home tomorrow and I am going to load it up and see how it looks compared to the one I have and give it a try while I take my daughter out for her FIRST ever ride!!! She is very excited, so the map may have to wait until after I do that!
