looks to me like every section of the manuals for the older bikes are separate PDF files Mark, but in any one of them you can click on any link and it directs you to the PDF where the required info is. when I try to load the whole file they are located in, it's telling me it's a directory file or something. confusing to me

No problem, Troy, I appreciate them!

I downloaded them as a zip file on my desktop for now. Unless there is a better way, that'll do for now.

Other than that it's pretty much just a "best guess" situation that hopefully will be compensated for if it's within the tuner's tolerance level.


He says he has run into issues many times with pre-mapped tuners
All valid points, but they are useful for getting a **** to run better, specially for guys that can't get to a dyno right away.

No argument there Greg. I bought mine when I did the stage 1 upgrade basically trying to save a few bucks.


I will have it for sale when this is all done I reckon..

I think there is a way to create a shortcut with your PDF reader (Usually Adobe Acrobat) to open with the folder containing the manuals as the main page or table of contents. I will look into it as time allows this week

That's basically what Adobe is doing, Mark.

I think there is a way to create a menu page so you can click on the link and go to the section for what you are looking for. Is that how you want it set up? Or do you want one big PDF file?

I'm not sure. My computer skills are so meager that what I'm after is the easiest way to access them. Right now with them on my desk top, I think will work, but if there is a better way to label them and access them, I'm all ears.
I assume I can rename the zip file once I get into them a little to see what's there so I know where to look without having to dig around every time.
I hope this made some sense.
I am a typical end-user with no IT skill, Mark.
