    Have you checked codes or what not with ECMspy?
    were my initial thoughts as well chickn. just for the hell of it i'd pull the front plug and take an accurate reading or have someone who knows what they're looking at take a reading. front obviously being the simplest.

    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

    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.

    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.
