I'm not going to waste my time if you don't know the difference between a dyno run and a dyno tune.

This thread is about tuning.

Thank you.

Nothing I posted was in any way wrong.

How can you do an auto-tune w/a FP3?

I'll let you in on a secret...

If I don't know the answer, I don't post.

Doesn't mean I know everything, quite the contrary.

I am merely wise enough to only post that which I am willing to stand behind.

And when I am wrong, I admit it. No skin off my nose.

Hmmmm....... not that it matters, but I don't seem to recall you admitting you were wrong about the tour-pak size.

Connect it to your bike and basically, just open the app on your phone and click on a map that you want to start with, hit auto tune and hit start. It's really that easy.

This thread is about tuning.
Actually, the OP said nothing about a dyno tune...
