I would just like to vent. Although I love having a new bike getting after market parts sucks. There are no frame sliders available. I ordered and received a Two Brothers exhaust and i am popping like a mother. So I try and order a Juice box or Power Commander only to fine neither company has the new maps for the bike and will not have a unit ready for sale for 4-6 weeks. So in the mean time my bike sounds like a v-twin. Only good thing is today I am getting my first service so I can finally get on it a lil bit. But am worried about the bike running so funny.

Just store the experience in your memory bank. That is one of the major frustrations about purchasing an early model of a new model year bike. I'm not one to talk because I have been guilty of the same thing. If the ability to modify the bike with a multitude of aftermarket parts is something you enjoy, then you just need to control your impulse to buy the new bike until a period of time has passed to see if the aftermarket has developed the things you want for the bike. The other problem is we tend to jump at the first products that become available for the new bikes and find out later that other vendors make parts that are either better or more appealing to us...and if your like me you end up removing the stuff you bought originally and purchasing the later stuff. It's a visious cycle. I find I now have more patience with this...and if I do purchase a new model I end up riding it stock for a longer period of time until the specific vendor I want to purchase from makes the aftermarket product I want. Just sayin'....:D

Not sure where you are, but I would bet that Ray can tune that bike and clean it up.
Or also try unplugging the battery for about 30 minutes and ride 100 miles, see if the stock computer can figure things out, often they do
