Wrong FP3 map, better feel?
Wrong FP3 map, better feel?
So Ive had my FP3 for about 5 years now and Ive had the same map the whole time. I have a DK 587 intake with V&H 2-1 exhaust and I used a map made for that.
A few weeks ago I decided to try autotuning the bike and had a couple good hour long rides recording them. I didnt flash the rides, I only hit "apply" so I could continue running the autotune.
Needless to say, I forgot to hit autotune the next couple rides and while the bike didnt have any hiccups, I could feel the engine getting hotter than normal, but it felt great.
Today before my ride to work I remembered to try to set the autotune up. I discovered the stock ECU map was flashed and the autotune map wasnt there. I ended up just flashing the intake/exhaust map and went on my way.
First thing I noticed was I didnt have as much pull as I apparently did on the stock map. There was less vibration in the engine and it definitely ran cooler, but I didnt feel as much push in the seats at WOT when changing gears.

I dont think you can program the FP3 on a dyno. Havent had an issue with it, was just an odd observation. Throttle response felt smoother but more lazy on the correct map, snappier and more aggressive on the wrong map.

That being said, it could just as easily be a throttle progressivity setting, or another quick table adjustment to get you back your ride feel.
