Question PCIII detuned my bike any file recomendations?

I have been running my '03C w/ pro-series hyper charger, big shots w/ loud baffles and a great running Johnny Cheese file since new and love it.
I am going on a trip and decided I was going to put in quiet baffles for the week since go to campgrounds late at night. Also noticed that there is dust getting by the hyper charger and leaving debris on inside the throttle bodies. last minute decision to put the stock intake back on.
It runs decent, not as much snap off the line as w/ the hyper charger as it's a bit rich now. Anyone have a good file for big shots w/ stock intake? also running a 1300 final.

Try Dynojet's site. They have some canned maps for a couple of variations of the 1800 with stock intake and V&H Bigshots.

How did that map you're running work out?

I just went back to stock pipes on my '05 F, left the Hypercharger on and loaded a zero map until I figure out what I want to do with it.

PS - Pics of the bike - looks like a beaut from your signature.

That is the downside of the PCIII, when you change something you need to re-tune and the upside of the B&B.

I lost some off idle snap and doesn't pull quite as hard, I made up my mind when I saw dirt in the throttle bodies and we end up hitting rain for about 1,000 miles every year and hate ramming that water into the filter and washing the oil away. So went to stock for now, I miss the power. I also swapped in a 1300 final at almost the same time and does not pull quite as hard w/ the taller gearing so it's a compound issue. Hope I don't lose any mileage!

Keep me posted. Curious to see what setup you end up with. Sounds like you had it set up for highway running. I de-tuned for comfort right now. Can't make up my mind setup-wise though... soooo many choices. It boils down to performance, look and sound. My choices are good mileage, sharp look and mellow sound. Like the stock exhaust, but too much mass. The Hyper-charger hits my leg, etc. Enough whining. I'll figure it out. Maybe some Cobra slip-ons and a stock airbox mod. (Any experience with those?)

My pipes (V&H Bigshots) and intake (Kury Hyper Pro) will be up on the board soon.

Been out your way years ago. Nice area. Probably be in Philipston at some point soon. Later.

weel my trip was cut short due to my Bro hitting loose gravel on the Blue ridge parkway.. But the higher gearing, leaner map, stock intake and quiet V&H baffles yielded me 36-38MPG @ 80MPH. The gearing is about 10% over driven so my Odometer/ speedo I had to compare to another bike. Did not pull as hard in the BRP tight corners as it did before but was much better for all around riding, mileage and quiet for campgrounds.
