Default To Target Tune or not???

Greetings fellas!
Just before Christmas, I won a Power Vision from Dynojet. As it turned out, I also received a Power Vision as a Christmas gift from the wife & son. So, I had two. I installed the one from wife & son as it was purchased from FM and I wanted their free map,support and double warranty.

Anyway, I tried to sell the extra Power Vision here on the forum ... but to no avail.
Out of frustration of what was I going to do with another Power Vision, I decided to call Dynojet and explain my situation.
Well, lo and behold, they sent me a Target Tune, free of charge, telling me that this would be a nice addition to my Power Vision.

Well, my questions now are, (for those that have any experience/knowledge):
"Do I really need this Target Tune"? Will it really make my bike run better?

Here's my current set-up and do not intend going beyond that:
  1. FM Pro Billet Stage 1 A/C
  2. FM Stainless Steel 2/1/2 ceramic coated head pipe
  3. Rinehart 4" Touring Slip-ons
  4. Power Vision - (already tuned to my liking)
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and/or viewpoints as to whether or not I should keep this and use it.
Thanks!

Why wouldn't you? The more data you can put into the PV, the better you can make your tune.

No reason not to install TT with your PV from the research I've done.

Do note the wide band O2 sensors use an 18mm thread, so depending on your bike you may need to have new bungs installed on your exhaust. If your current O2 sensors already use 18mm bungs the TT package looks like to be pretty much plug and play. You will need a TT enabled map from Fuel Moto.

I am putting the target tune and bigger O2 sensors on as i type this. I believe you will get a better and more dialed in tune with this set up. The narrow band sensors will only read the fuel mix at between 14.2 and 14.5 (dont quote me but it is in that range) where the wide band will read from 10.0 to 15.0. The more data you can give the powervison the more optimal the bike will perform.

Well my Safetyman friend, you need to move into the 21st century. I am able to talk to my computer and weld at the same time. Very simple process. LOL

To share along with others, you should certainly take advantage of the Target Tune if you have it. I am running it and it certainly makes a difference!!!

In your situation, I'd go with the Target Tune no hesitation.

By the way, the OBVIOUS solution to having two Power Visions is to get another bike.
