I'm jealous now.... been raining here most of the morning....

For the just the Stage.1, I wouldn't worry about dyno tuning or the autotune function of the PCV.

Now if you're planning some more in depth mods: cams, more cubes, headwork...etc, that's when you want to drop some coin on a dyno tune. If you're gonna tinker with the bike alot, (swapping pipes, swapping a/c... then the autotune will come in handy, as it will accomodate that. It will also accomodate the in depth mods as well.

As you turn the run switch on dont wait for the fuel pump to kick off..as the fuel pump is running hit the start switch and it will kick over on the first turn

Also I wanted to always see what that duke air filter looked like on a bike..Looks good hope you have fun with it

No Problem Nuge, and Maddghost, I read that on here somewhere i think it was, so I said what the hell ill give it a try to when i first get my PCV and sure enough i let the pump kick off and it took longer, i didnt let it kick off and it started right up...Reason being is because i think the PC's run off the CPU/Fuel Injection so thats why it starts up, cause if u let it go off it has to reset/repower itself back on as u turn the bike on
