Dyno'd -now a burning smell?
I've had my new Area P slip on, PC3 and flies out now for about 2 months. I'm planning a ride to the north Georgia mountains next week, so I went and got my bike dyno tested to make sure the map I got from FuelMoto was running good.
They did the dyno and said it was running well, but it was a little rich in the low end so they leaned it out a little. Since I got the bike back, I've noticed a metallic burning smell that seems to be coming from the headers. I called the shop and they said they'd gladly take a look, but it sounds like the pipes are just breaking in. I have almost 4k miles on the the bike now. I've was caught in the rain when I brought it home and then again today. Could that be part of the problem.
I'm wonder if they leaned it out too much. The bike is not running any hotter than normal, 2 or 3 bars on the temp gage.
Any advice is appreciated.

If you've only noticed the smell in conjunction with rain that's probably it. I've heard others talk about bad smells during & after rain and have smelled it myself. If it runs well and temps are normal I doubt it has anything to do with the dyno run or adjustments.

Worm, I'm new to the PC3. Can I save the map that is on mine to a computer, and reload the fuelmoto map for comparison, then switch it back?

you can do that, or get yourself the LCD unit from dynojet... slick.. can hold 2 maps and you can change on the fly...
wouldnt worry about the burning smell unless it does it all the time.. should go away.

Finally got a dry day today. I rode it hard for about 10 miles and didn't notice the smell. I guess it was just the rain sizzling on the headers.
