12 is sick! Help needed!

Just got back from a short ride and all of a sudden my 12 is cutting out bad at part throttle and stalling all of a sudden at idle. Almost got ran over at a stoplight when she stalled but I got home safe. Any ideas where to start???? It has a PC3r. I wonder if that is taking a dump???

Just took it for a spin. Ran perfect for a few miles then started acting up

Any ideas besides the PC3R going south????

More common with 3R's.

My 3 has been in service for over 6 years now.

A good SOLID ground helps longevity.

Check / change your oil.
Sometimes the pc3 will lock a injector open and flood the cyclinder.

Haha Vincent! You guys know what is wierd is that even after my custom map was made sometimes my bike would pop slightly when reving it up from idle. Like 1 out of 8 or 10 revs would yeild a slight pop. Now with the PC3R removed I have great throttle response off idle. I spoke with Ryan Schnitz about this on the phone and he thought that it was strange. He thought that the pop was a product of the engine not having enough backpressure when he tuned it. I have a PC3usb on the way now from a member on here and Ryan sent me my map (Thanks Ryan, your customer service is great!).
