Just wondering if anyone has used the quick tune feature on the Power Vision. In particular, the spark, fuel, or VE values.

Yes. Was out west a few weeks ago, and ran into the combination of high temps, altitude, higher freeway speed limits, headwinds, questionable gas - - basically hotter engine and higher loads, so I was getting some ping. Emailed Fuel Moto, asking for advice - they said take out 3 degrees of spark. Easily done with Quicktune. Solved the problem.

 

When you took that 3 degrees of spark, what range did you remove it from....medium? And did you end up leaving it like that or did you change back after the trip. Also, did you notice any change in performance with a little less advance? I think I' m having a little ping in the 2500-3000 RPM range that doesn't seem to show up as a spark knock event when data recording a ride. It's hot as hell here in Fla. right now. Thanks

 

Fuel Moto recommended entire range so thats what I did. Just got home, bike at dealer for routine service, so havent changed it back yet. Butt dyno said power was off a very little. But I had no problems with mountains, headwinds, and so forth. So I was OK with the tradeoff of ping elimination vs. optimal power. I would rather have the bike be rideable across a wider range of conditions as opposed to optimized to a narrower set of conditions. I may play around with timing using WinPV now that I am home.

One place on the backroads in se Colorado, I had to take a few gallons of 85 octane. Bike ran with no ping as long as I was moderate with the throttle.
