That is computer controlled for the most part. What makes you think it's running to rich?

Dude, listen... one guy already asked you what makes you think it's running rich? And he told you it's computer controlled. Do the math... that means there's (likely) something *WRONG*. O2 sensor could be shot, TPS or MAP sensor (if they're equipped with a MAP sensor) could be flaky. Spark plugs could be toast (year, mileage?) Air filter could be far too dirty. I mean there's like a whole host of things. If you're not equipped to do the basic diags on it, then take it to a shop. It'd be really easy to toast your system by mucking around with a Power Commander if there's something else already wrong.

+1. What makes you think it's running rich??..Not sure how many sensors these motorcycles have, but from what I've seen rich usually means 02 or ECT.
Does your temperature gauge seem to be reading lower than usual?? Does it seem like it takes longer for the heat gague to get up to operating temp?? (I'm assuming motorcycles hear gauge runs off the same sensor as the PCM reads. Don't band-aid a problem with a power commander. Fix it right.

No the temp is pretty normal... I do smell a lot of gas from the exhaust and i only got 50 miles on my last tank.

Ok, then. Something's wrong and all the Power Commanders in the world won't help you. I don't have the service manual handy, but there's a way to get the LCD display to give you some trouble codes. I'd see the dealer or a decent mechanic who works with late-model bikes.

Lower it's allowance. Your bike is behaving badly because it has nothing to work toward. It's simple psychology, really!
