good thinking... E85 will also cause the afv to go haywire (o2 cant get a reading) and run real hot and lean.. fuel boiling in the frame.. I bet that dobeck is doing something bad and causing a lean condition.

dump that gas and get rid of that dobeck and see what happens... if its good. flash a race map to the ecm and the power will come back
actually more I think about it, those guys in brasil weren't running lean, they were running real rich if memory serves.. afv was super high like 150%-160% I think it was..
looked like the o2 was telling the ecm to add a buch of fuel bc it could not get a reading off of high alcohol fuel.. they run like 40% alcohol down there.. o2 gets a bad reading and thinks its not getting fuel so it just dumps more.. the bike would bog, get hot as hell all kinds of problems. you need ecm spy cable.. see if the o2 is good, get rid of that power commander ect ect
screw it man, dump that gas and see what happens

Thanks for the responses, I'll try a few and see what happens.
Like they said it's likely the tuning causing it to run hot. It likely has nothing to do with the fuel. Take the tuner off and see how it runs.
Took this video after I got home from work once the cooling fan had kicked off fuel was still boiling in the frame the temperature was in the low eighties some stop and go traffic some highway traffic about 15 miles worth of driving. https://youtu.be/C46seSScmH8
I get no check engine light and no trouble codes with the Bluetooth reader? I don't want to unhook dobeck tfi because I don't know how to TPS reset or if I would even need to?
Wow I never saw gas boil.. Wish I could help, I would listen to the others and remove that plug n play system and see if it does the same thing.
it happens in brasil all day long... crap gasoline.. I suspect that thing he is running is getting the fueling incorrect
