I just did the micro tuner on my 2012 fatboy lo...wow what a pain in the ****. you have to lift up the tank and it gives you a jumper to connect to a wire in the throttle body.. the unit is tiny and TG for that cause there's almost no room under the seat. also have a ground wire to connect. it sure isn't plug-n- play

Russ, I could never seem to perfect the Autotune function and process.....and then it seemed like my bike would run crappy.
Eventually would end up reloading the previous HD Stage 1 download.
More practice needed I suppose.

It is a bit tedious and you have to follow the steps otherwise you're not saving and loading the correct tune.

I would go through the learning process in Autotune........and then save the tweaked tune in place.
When you autotune, did you drive completely normally, or goose it up on occasion for learning purposes? I've "heard" both methods as advice.

I've used both methods in an attempt to hit cells that I normally don't get to. Remember to save your tune then reload and run another tune session until you get to less than 5% of cells changing. At that point you're done.

Thats whats nice about the PV. You dont need it on the bike unless you are doing some data logs.

I like them. I had my bike slammed and it rode a little rough, raised it about 3/4" for the Sturgis trip mostly for clearance since I knew I would be corner carving up there (on a Softail?) and liked the way it rode so much, I've left it there.
