sputtering and exhaust smells like fuel

sputtering and exhaust smells like fuel
When i bought my bike with 3k miles it ran perfect. Probablyabout 8-10months later it started to sound different upon start-up, i guess i'd call it sputtering, but it quickly went away and ran great once warm.
2 months ago i put on a Bootleg 10" Shorty Pipe and it seemed to do it a little bit worse. Now since then it seems to be getting worse.
I still ride everyday, but it seems to have a few hiccups/flat spotsat certain rpm's, idles lower, and often smells like fuel. Also when i start the warm/hot engine, the engine won't immediately rev up. The rpm's definitley will climb way slower than they should.
I just ordered a PC3 USB on ebay hoping this will help, but is there anything else that may be causing this??? Any help appreciated. BTW it now has 11k miles. Thanks

RE: sputtering and exhaust smells like fuel
The fuel pressure regulator is a pretty common part to need replacing...

Thanks, that does sound like my problem. Too bad I ordered that PC3 right before I read that post [:@]. Oh well it'll probly be better with it anyway.

Well I just ordered the regulator now because it really sounds like it is the problem.Since it was acting up in a very minor way even with the stock pipe and just continues to get worse.I'll hopefully have a chance to swap out the part this weekend and post my results.

Yep. It was the FPR. Runs great now. Cost about $69 at the dealer and was cake to install. Thanks for the help!
