Just finished the install of a VMod system(Vmod Pipes, PCV & K&N) on my 09 Muscle. Install was easy & the bike sounds great but seems like it is running rich, puffs of black smoke when you start it & black residue on the exhaust tips? This is my first computer controlled bike so I am not sure how I should attempt an adjustment. The only other mod is i am running it topless. Can I do any damage riding it this way till I figure it out?
 
Why did you not go full autotune and be done with it?

Sounds to be rich.

This is a new bike...go have it tuned and be 100% sure you are okay.

No always good to be the first one to the party. Ride it and then have something go wrong.

I did not I was told by the previous user that it was a plug & Play affair, Please tell me more about this setting. The PCV unit was supposivly mapped for this set up thats whats making this a little fustrating, its not like the old bike where you can just turn a screw to adjust the carb.

with a computer hooked up to the pwr comdr (and the software on the computer) you will see on the right side of the pwr cmdr window the throttle position. it should say 0 with the throttle closed and 100 with the throttle completely open. if it doesn`t go to tools along the top and open the throttle set window. you probably will have to have a 9 volt battery and the little harness to hook it up to the pwr cmdr to set the throttle position without the motor running.

No battery needed.
