Engine sputtering and backfiring

[warp9.9]

@JackG those tune are for roadsters which have a different ecu then yours. Do not try to load one or you might be buying a new ecu. If your tune is having problems you might find a good compatible one from tune ecu to load. Even if it is stock. In 06 there was a map recall because of idle issues and such. You might still be on a old map/

I will look into it. Thanks.

No dealer within 150 miles so I guess it's up to me

The dealers aren't much good for tune issues anyway...unless you get lucky and find one that has a good tuner...

Yep get the software so you can perform the maintenance and upkeep of the bike and the ECU. Since yours is older you might have some simple things that need attended to.

I checked and the ECU is the same for the 2006 Rocket III & Classic
Part Number: T1290102. I am thinking the Roadster model came out in '07 which is what I had before this RIII. I checked the ECU part # all the way up to 2013 and the part number remains the same.

Not sure what you checked but trust me all ECU are the same in the 2004 - 2009 Rocket III standard, Classic and the Classic Tourer .

In 2008 the Rocket Touring came out with a different ECU. In 2010 the Rocket Roadster came out with a different ECU then the Standards, Classic's and the Classic Tourer.

The Roadster had the same ECU as the Touring (2008) but different programming language as things like ABS were in the works.

YES, my apologies. I see Touring came out with part # 1290650

The bike was in for new fork seals and brakes at the dealer yesterday (wow, stopping is almost as fun as going now!). I had them look for why I am having intermittent running issues, pretty much the usual stuff, high idle, surging, sputtering etc.. They didn't find anything diagnostically (I had reset the adaptions in TuneECU, but not ridden anywhere before it went in), they reset adaptions (again) and it passed all the "tests" on their factory analysis system.
Road test seemed ok. They said see how it adapts over his tank of fuel (they added something to clean the valves). If the issues persist it will be off with the tank and check coils and leads, plugs and maybe a valve service.
I will take a look at the coils and leads, plugs this weekend myself, but apparently since I added the Rivco risers the tank cannot lift back anymore and the bars/risers will have to be removed..

Would an ignition issue cause the adaptions to "drift off" and compound over time? It seems that resetting adaptions is only a temporary solution.

It would probably be much easier to remove the hinge point on the tank, rather than removing the risers...
