Default V&H FP3 Issues

So, I just got my bike back from dealer for 5K service. Anyway, I had a couple of minor warranty things taken care of before my warranty is done. Since I picked it up, I notice it doesn't start quite as easy as it did. So I went to auto tune my FP3 and get an error message when it tries to flash in the tune. It shows my different tunes including my latest auto tune as current, but when I go to do auto tune, I select what tune as base, it goes to grid screen, the tries to flash. During the flash, it stops and gives an error code. Last time the FP3 acted up, there was an update available for it and that solved it. This time, it's up to date. Any ideas?

On a different subject, this issue has me thinking about going with the power vision. If I did, I'd get it from Fuel Moto. My question is will it run any better? Can that be used to dyne tune down the road?

Just wondering if the shop didn't flash your Auto tune to an upgrade ECM load from HD and doing the HD re-flash compromised the FP3 download.. I'd start over from square one, new out of the box.

that's what it sounds like to me and same suggestion I would make to start as if you just bought it.. not the first time a dealer has overflashed a custom tune

Got it done. The only thing I could do was load stock map back in. From there, re-load another map. Now I'm going to re-auto tune and use as a summer tune due to the extra heat and humidity down here.

Thanks for the help.
