Default Do I need a PV? vs. Micro tuner

Stock motor. Have had micro tuner which doesn't use O2 sensors for 2 years with stage 1 air cleaner and straight shots with TTI's. Would a PV be a huge improvement?

Improvement? Yes. A 400 dollar plus dyno fee improvement? Everything else staying the same? My opinion, no.

I would not be planning on a dyno tune. Maybe cams or a 107 kit in next few years. Other that that, for now wondering if it would be a good improvement to be using the O2 sensors with the PV. Really like the E-series 2 into 1 as well.

If you are doing cams or a 107 down the road you'll need something more than the micro tuner. If that's the route you are for sure going I would go ahead and buy the tuner now. Fuel Moto is running a special for the exhaust and tuner for 995 right now.

Unless you're gonna pop for the auto tune, you'll still be running a canned map, so I don't see a benefit for the cost.

Now, IF you did cams and the 107, THEN it would be required, so that's a moot point. Just an exhaust change, you can have your Micro updated for that.

I'm the guy that says if it works, don't mess with it though. I ran the Micro until I had the motor done and never had an issue with it. YMMV.

So, are you saying the PV doesn't use the O2 sensors? I appreciate the knowledge.

pv uses O2 sensors if you tell it to. it's on of the most versitle tuners on the market and best long run value since you can move it between bikes. there are others like cobra and FP3 too. all have positives and negatives
