PC-V adding Autotune - would you?
#21
I reinstalled the Jackpots using a little silicone sealant and the popping seems to be better. Hopefully it stays that way.
And I do plan on using the autotune but am trying to learn as much as possible about the pros and cons
But most people don't need it if they already have a good base map, IMO. It's not exactly a plug-and-play install, as you much fool with O2 sensors and run wires, neither of which is a load of fun or a quick job.

Just to clarify what happened here...............a guy put something up for sale in the HDF Classified Section and somebody bought it before you made up your mind. That makes you a Democrat? I really don't see the reasoning here............at all. Can anyone else fill me in on what the proper etiquette on online shopping. I've never seen anyone on Ebay suspend a sale while someone made up their mind. Not that HDF is anything like Ebay but I'm sure that no rules were broken in the transaction here and the buyer does not deserve to be ridiculed in the open forum.

in my experience, once someone sees your item and inquires about it in general, they somehow have dibs on it, even though they dont say they want it. meanwhilst while they fukc around thinking about it, someone who knows what they want and sees a good deal swoops on it, then the original person calls BS on the whole deal and spews insults at both the seller and the buyer who somehow "stole" the item out from under them. again, this is just MY experience, YMMV.

Dennis, I think that your configuration is one that FuelMoto has a great amount of experience with and I would expect that their map will be spot-on for it. I'm not a technician, but it would seem improbable that the Auto Tune accessory would make a significant difference in your application.
It can always be added later if you make additional modifications, but your current equipment configuration seems ideal for the base PCV w/ FuelMoto map without the Auto Tune.

i have an PCV and AUto tune and i cant reccomend it enough. sure a canned map may be "close" but the autotune will make it perfect for the target afr's you provide. your target afr's are set in the map so you could even have a winter map and a summer map to offset the differences in fuel.
as far as warranty, i would argue that all the AT does is optimize/enrichen the AF mixture, which is going to help the bike run cooler. worst case, pull the o2 sensors and go back to stock. just use anti sieze on the threads(new ones come preapplied) and they will come right out.
even if you decide you dont want to keep it, run it for a month or so and optimize your basemap with it before you sell it off. that way you will have a perfect basemap at least.

You are correct. My map seems to be spot on from Fuel Moto. However like some others, iclick included , I do like to tinker. I enjoy working on my bike and working with computers so the AT gives me the ability to "see" what is really going on with the AFRs on my bike.
Thanks for the post
