Default I'm ALMOST Convinced...PowerVision

Got a chance to look this product over at the V-Twin Expo on Saturday.
Also went to their afternoon seminar.

This product is pretty trick.

The only thing I don't care for about this product...as of right NOW, it's not waterproof.
So if you want to mount this to your bars, you were just forewarned.

They're also working on a Quick Detach setup.
The current setup makes it too easy for someone to lift.

If you have a PCV...this PV can be piggybacked to it without "marrying" your bike.
What makes this good; say you have a PCV, your buddy buys a PV, before he marries it, you could borrow it, run it, make settings, save to your PCV, then give his PV back to him.

Another feature; the PV has been set at 6200 RPM limit.
If you want to change this, you'll need to contact them for a code to unlock the feature so you can change your limits.
(I think 6200 was the number, I cant recall for certain, but the RPM's are definitely locked out)

In my opinion, the PowerVision might be the best thing out there.
We have 2 coming, ordered at a V-Twin Expo special price.

DISCLAIMER: I went to the V-Twin Expo. This is my OPINION based on my learnings while there. I am NOT promoting any of these products. I don't care which tuner any of you buy!

LOL dawg!
That didn't cross my mind.

Perhaps I should include a disclaimer?

Wish I could've been there, but I did give the manual a going-over last night. I see promise, enough possibly for me to move to it from the PCV-AT, but I'm not quite ready to push the "go" button just yet. I agree it may currently be the best tuner on the market.

The only thing I don't care for about this product...as of right NOW, it's not waterproof. So if you want to mount this to your bars, you were just forewarned.
How about carrying a small Ziploc bag with you? Then before you put your rain-suit on you slip it over the LCD display. Anyway, I thought the display unit was water-resistant. Also, it wouldn't be hard for them to include a small waterproof cover for it, one you could pop on and off easily. Or, just find one for a cell phone about the same size.

They're also working on a Quick Detach setup. The current setup makes it too easy for someone to lift.
That would be better yet, as you don't need the display attached for PV to work. You just can't make adjustments or receive any visible feedback.

In my opinion, the PowerVision might be the best thing out there. We have 2 coming, ordered at a V-Twin Expo special price.
Looks like a winner, but will it make my bike run better than the PCV-AT? I doubt it, but I like the ability to use the AT's WB O2 sensors to log data and apply it to the ECM, although I don't think that feature has been enabled just yet. That way you have the next-best thing to closed-loop. What it will do now is transfer a PCV map to the ECM. I also like the gas-mileage display function, as well as the ability to adjust the speedometer error.

What I don't like is that my map switch will not work with PV, and although you can store many maps on the unit you'll need to stop and switch the engine off before changing from one to another. That may not be a major hurdle for me in making my decision, but I do like the switch function on the PCV.

I think you can promote products in which you have no business interest.

Yeah, it was more of an inside joke about a conversation he and I had.

I don't know. The TTS with new MT8 calibrations that allow you to adjust cam timing events might just keep it on top.

Right-O!
No need playing around for hours when you can remove your ECM and mail it in for days!
Right?

Not to mention Powervision $550 vs. RevPerf $800.
Nevermind that the Powervision doesn't have to be put on a dyno.

Your points are WELL taken!
LOL

how are they adjusting cam timing? looked on their site no info. this can't be done electronicly unless you have some type of variable cam timing devise, which is a mechanical advance unit controlled electrically
