This is great advice, I guess my best bet is to try and find a human tuner in my area that works with the PV2 and go from there. thanks for all your help.

 

BlueGhost1963, if you buy the PV from Fuel Moto, they will provide you with a good starting map, and will also help you get your bike tuned and running well. They have exceptional customer service, and there really is no need to have someone else do the work.

 

thanks, do you have a link for them or a number? would rather do it myself and learn.

 

I found the site, thanks....

 

PLEASE let me know how to get those duel daymakers on my FXSB! Currently running the 2014 single headlight, but really like your look. Any details on how I might do that on mine??
Looks GREAT!

 

The 1st part of this comment is simply not accurate. While a lot of tuners do build "custom" maps that way a lot of them also start out with a zero map and run through each cell at a given throttle percentage/rpm value to create a truly custom map and then go in and tweak those values. Think about it, how did Dynojet, Bazzaz, Screaming Eagle etc etc create those initial maps for the world to use??????????????? The 2nd part of your comment again isn't exactly accurate either. True the professional tuner will get it more accurate than an auto tuner at that given time and in those specific conditions but what happens when the season changes and the weather gets cooler or hotter or you're riding in a different elevation for instance etc etc. What about wind velocity??? A bike on a dyno in some 100* shop somewhere with a shop fan blowing on it simply cant match the conditions you find traveling 70mph out on the open road. Unless you get your bike dyno tuned constantly to adjust for different conditions and have multiple "custom" maps you can jump back and forth to then an auto tuner is a very good instrument to have and can very well supplement for a true as you call it human tuner.

 

You are grossly underestimating what a GOOD human tuner can do. And, I am no tuner, but I am telling you in my posting what 2 different world class bike and car tuners have told me.

First, Mike Lozano himself, a world class tuner (Google Lozano Brothers) will only ever use a preexisting tune (AS A START POINT ONLY) if it is one that HE himself has done and on an engine that is reasonably similar. If he does not have a riot tune on a reasonably similar engine, he builds one from scratch, and can do so in amazing time. To do mine, he had nothing close enough that he had done, so he started with a 110 cu.in tune (for my 103 engine with stage 4 race kit) that he downloaded, and he manually adjusted the tables before his initial runs to get into the right ballpark, and then fine tuned.

And as for auto tuners, the bike before my current bike was a Honda VTX 1800R. With the help of 2 separate well known tuners (Johnny Cheese and Micah Shoemaker), I compared what they could do compared to a Cobra auto tuning unit.

The Cobra got into the right approximate range, and could slowly indeed optimize the tuner reasonably well at steady state cruiser, but was unable to handle throttle and load changes quickly enough - it let the AFR drift off target a LOT under those conditions. The autotuner did do a good job of making about the same PEAK power at 100% throttle as the human tuners did, but we could not get it to control dynamic throttle and load changes acceptably.

We ended up concluding that the auto tuner was a fairly decent solution for someone who did not have convenient access to a human tuner with dyno, but the performance improvements that Micah made, especially at part throttle and low rpm, were very dramatic improvements over the auto tuner.

LOL, yeah right. Go zero out all the cells in your calibration and try to run the bike. LMAO

Anyone know if a Dunlop Elite 3 250/40 R18 will fit with the stock rear fender and a 1.5 inch drop? The tire seems much wider.
