2019 Fat Bob FP3 Auto tune?
This topic may well have been covered a few times but cant see any recent posts of experiences with it..
I have a 2019 Fat Bob with standard Hi-flow intake and V & H Short Shots and FP3
Down loaded the map from V&H and am not aware of any major issues but i come from the japs sports bike world so everything is polar opposite to what i am used to.
Was thinking of doing the auto tune to see if there were any noticeable differences.
Any one got any experiences with the same set up, good or bad, that they care to share.

The FP3 is a good tool for those of us who want to / have changed the air filter and pipes and are happy at that. If you wanted to scrape every ounce of power from your motor, then you'd quickly reach the limitations of the FP3, which is why some people swear by it, some at it.
V&H always recommends running a couple of tanks worth of petrol after re mapping to give the ECU a chance to make any fine adjustments it deems necessary and depending who you ask, has an ability to adjust the fuel air ratio by as much as + / - 20%.
I have used the auto tune, but didn't really notice any great difference to be honest. I find their maps generally to be pretty much spot on for me. If, by any chance you were going to auto tune because of a flat spot at low revs, you'd be better getting rid of the Short Shots first, as they're **** poor for low down torque

.I am just interested in giving it a try to see if there is any difference to be honest as i am not used to the V-twins., but does seem to be ok from the downloaded map.
Did you have any issues with the first auto tune run out as some have said the first ride is terrible as the map is deleted and re-written but i was under the impression it just tweeked the current map as is. Just wondering what to expect.
Love the Short Shots to be honest so they are staying
and have not really noticed the flat spot as not ridden it much before i did the Covid inspired change... Once i have done the auto tune I was going to try the throttle response settings to alleviate some of the lag.

One thing I think we (can nearly) all agree on is V&H's Customer Service is outstanding. Email them from the app if you're having any probs,

I wouldn't personally, but your call obviously. There's a setting in Map Optimisation for decel pop, I'd try that first.

The Decal pop is only on the odd occasion and honestly I quite like it.
Maybe I'll just play with the throttle response settings and see what that feels like.
Clearly I am feeling the need to fiddle with stuff.... hahahaha
