I had a "wow" moment on my ride into work this morning. I was running autotune for a seventh time, and I think it was when I was riding up an interchange ramp in 6th, close to the top where it turns, and I realized it was pulling just fine at low RPM in 6th, where I'd always need to downshift... coasting uphill.

But it was more than that. Every gear was smooth in a way that I've never experienced before. The engine just sounded different - like deeper and confident (?). And I was marveling at how I could close the throttle, and there was no popping at all.

I know this is kind of a "nothing" thread - probably nothing new to anyone here with experience with these things, but I was moved to post about it.

I found "corrections" mode on the grid this morning too, at a stoplight... had not seen that yet. I'd been looking at the "hits" screen. And at this point, most/all of my numbers are +/-1, or pretty small. So I'm guessing maybe it is getting close to where I probably can just go with what I've got.

Anyway - just amazing. It's like a whole new bike. I should have gotten the Power Vision before doing any other performance mods on the bike... just wasn't educated enough at the time. Live and learn.

 

Glad you got it dialed in!

Sometimes it only takes a couple of sessions and sometimes a few more. It is one of those things that when it gets to the sweet spot, you just know and can feel it.

Congrats!

 

Can't say enough good things about the PowerVision! Are you using the normal autotune function, or the wideband sensor kit?

 

Similar experience here...
Been tuning a cam/2-1 change with an FP3 - base map was a country mile away from being useful so tweaked and developed my own and several autotunes later, last time out the bike was just singing - really strong, pulls from almost nothing, and the first time I have ever rev'd to 5k - only because it was sooo smooth I never even noticed.

Still a wee bit to do up top now that I know it revs nicely up there but it's great when a plan comes together

 

Just the basic autotune. I just got it last week.

 

nice! I just ordered one yesterday. Bought my Softail Slim used with strait pipes and O2 sensor eliminators. As you can imagine, runs like CRAP! Ordered a performance 2-1 pipe, O2 sensors, MR103 cams, and the PowerVision. I will make this thing sing!!!

 

Very cool.

I only did three before I pulled my wide band sensors.

Now I want to put them back on and do more AT sessions.

Enjoy the ride.

 

The map that FuelMoto gave me actually didn't work. The PV told me it was incompatible. So, I extracted the existing tune off the ECU into a pvt to compare, and they were totally different. The one off my bike was TPS (throttle position sensor?) based, and the one FuleMoto gave me was not.

I did a little poking around on their site, and it looks like maybe Jamie gave me a map that was intended for touring bikes and not the Softail. I tried merging the map they gave me with my base map off the bike, and I thought that was working (and replied to Jamie that I thought I'd figured it out), but it wasn't - since the maps were not compatible.

So... I ended up going to the Dynojet site, and downloading their SE Air/Bassani slip-ons map. I have an SE Ventilator and Rush 1.75" slip-ons, so that looked like it would probably be the closest - and used that as my starting point.

 

Sweet!! I haven't looked at cams.. maybe next year

 

Thanks...

Do you have to switch back to the stock sensors after you're done tuning? I figured the wide band sensors would be like a permanent replacement (?).
