I ran out of my 60 minute editing limit, but I mentioned in an email to popgun, Max and Peter that I would check into the PAIR air induction control solenoid valve as another possible issue. It allows filtered air from the air box to be drawn into the exhaust system. I do not see how this could be an issue with fueling. It simply reduces unspent fuel and increases the life of the catalytic converter.
I did block it on my 2012 Triumph Bonneville to reduce bluing of single wall exhaust pipes, but see no performance benefit to blocking or removal and doing so would likely be harmful to the catalytic converter.
We now resume our normal programming from Max...

Included you in the photo email, although you are no longer set up to post photos. Would like to give credit to the forum member who first suggested the purge valve, but I am not finding the post.
Until Dave checks it out, it seems a very likely candidate and fits into my vacuum loss concerns and I am not finding a DTC for it. Wonder if unplugging it results in a CEL?
If it is the issue, be curious to know if the valve is sticking open or if programmed operation. When it is running and in lower than normal idle, I'd be inclined to tap it with something (screwdriver handle, etc.)
