Adjusting the oiler up cause DET?

wf:

On my first ride, it hit Det after I hit high R's on the trail, so it was probably hitting the rev limiter. Yesterday, it hit Det when I was going across a meadow at 6000 rpm. Really surprised me. Checked the code read-out(neat feature) and it showed 1352 & 0 which is Max Det Correction Limit Reached for Knock Level Cylinder 1(MAG). Got back on the trail and grabbed a handfull and it did it again. Code read-out read 1353 & 0 which is the Knock Level Cylinder 2(PTO). Did it one more time(high R's) and then I took it easy back to the truck.

I'm still thinking I may have too much oil(1 oz/gal of fuel) in the tank. On the first ride, the dealer had added a qt. of Poo blue to the gas tank with 3 gals of gas. I did not fill up the tank, so I was running a pretty rich pre-mix. Ran OK for 10 miles, then starting hitting DET when I gave the flipper a good hit. Put 30 miles on it that day. Next ride, I put straight 91 in the tank(no added oil) and it ran perfect. At 100 miles, I cranked up the oil pump and have been adding 1 oz/ gal to the gas. 3 rides with that combo, no problems. Then yesterday, DET shows up again.

Going to add straight 91 again and see what happens Wed. or Thurs. If it clears up, then I just might start adding 1/2 oz/ gal. BTW, my pump ratio is now at approx. 40-1. Beats the hell out of the 75-1 before the adjustment.

I'll keep an eye on the R's and the clutching. I've always runs 62's around here and never had a problem. My '11 Pro ran flawless with 62's, but it was a 163 compared to the 155 on my '13. Thanks for your advice. We'll see what happens on the next go-round

Hey Z! All the guys I ride with 12's and 1 13, all have the pump turned up 3 turns (I turned them up) and are running 1 oz of oil per gallon in the tank. No det issues at all. With the exception of the 13, the others are all 12's and bone stock.
 
Ran the sled hard today with the VES hose hooked back up/plugs removed and...No DET. It was colder today and I will see if this remains to be true, but I am happy.

There must be a remap of the fuel system this year because plugging & disco of the VES really helped my 11 & 12.

Sled Does not hit quite as hard in the mid but it is a mild difference and I would rather have the sled not DET and then have to restart.

Thanks for all of the help, snowesters!
