I tried to do an autotune with my FP3 and had lots of issues... Finally got it in autotune mode, rode a while and did an "apply." Then I rode some more and did an apply and finish.... DAMN That sucked!!! The bike didn't run worth crap. I limped back home and reloaded the first map from when I installed the FP3. Will try again, maybe tomorrow. I guess you really need to do 3 or more "apply" and "ride" sequences? I also had issues where it would just display a long warning message instead of going to the autotune menu.
If/when I buy a touring bike, I reckon I'll skip V&H and go directly to a ThunderMax instead... just don't want to spend that kind of $$$ on this Dyna.
At least it was a great day to be riding here in the Redneck Riviera!

Yeah. Mine runs great as is. Idk if I'll autotune or not. I did change the throttle progressivity I think. Haven't rode it since though. RAIN. Idk if the change took or not. I found it, sput the wheel to moderate, then reflashed the current map. I would think I'll be able to tell, if not, watch some YouTube and hopefully get it done.
The whole idea is kinda confusing. I understand it's NOT really just how far ya twist the wick, it's posta make it more responsive. We'll see.

I'm PO'ed at how many attempts did not work as documented. I got multiple 0400 errors also. As for the throttle response, my 2008 isn't fly-by-wire.
I just wish their software wasn't so iffy!

Yep. I probably tried to short cut the autotune cycle... At least after reloading my original map the bike is more or less back to normal, just still sucks more fuel,,, When I have more patients and a better frame of mind, I'll try to do autotune again.
I did get about 160+ miles today...

Well, I'm a bit disappointed. Went to the HD shop yesterday to get new tires. Was quoted over the phone about $520 out the door, but when I get there, the guy says, "whoever it was didn't save the quote, so we can't honor it", and then tells me, "that price is WAY too low. It's going to be $850 for Dunlops"! I HATE Dunlops!!! Last set I got was so squirrelly in the rain I wanted to avoid it like the plague, and corners even on a dry road were iffy, and they were nearly twice what my previous set of cheap King tires cost, and only lasted less than HALF as long!! The guy says, "Hang on.", then goes to crunch some numbers, and comes back with, "Best I can do is $808, since we can't do discounts anymore, and the "special" we had on free installation ended last week." When I say, NO, he says, "Hold on", and then just takes off. After about 5 minutes, I'm done, get back on my bike and go home. You can bet your bottom dollar they are NOT going to be getting MY money!! I had called several other shops in town, and another HD dealer had already quoted me $750 out the door for Michelins, but a NON-HD shop had quoted me $420 out the door for Michelin Commander IIs. Guess who I'm getting my tires from? Wife is going to stop today to make the payment, and I'll probably have to wait a week or so for them to arrive, and then I'll get them installed, but it'll save me nearly HALF as much as it would have been at the HD place. I do have a $50 gift card I won at that HD place, though, so figuring to use it for the $50 fee to setup my fob (bike didn't come with one, so got one on eBay for $25) to work on the bike instead, and unless I win another card like that, I won't be spending a PENNY in that place!!
Maybe that dealership had a "BOGO" set offer going on! Actually, what you should be doing is getting the tires you want online, then remove your wheels and take everything down to your indie. (Might wanna get the tires ordered by the 30th (tomorrow,) as that's when the rebate offers end...) For most all the tire makers.

Still haven't attacked autotune again... but I did order a sport luggage rack. Will come in handy for multi-day road trips since my Viking bags are rather small, er, tiny?
