The power vision gets plugged in, loads a map, then is removed. Only time it stays on the bike is when using the autotune feature
and since ya can load a few maps on it. it makes it easier to fiddle with it when trying to solve decel popping. or tweak gas mileage

Wow! I was just watching the video on Dynajet website. Impressive! So once I flash my ECU I can remove the unit? I can't have a tuner mounted to the bars due to the fact that I park my bike at work and it would walk away in no time!
Not sure if I really need all that adjustability? I'm only doing an exhaust and intake.

yes.
basically:
you can pay a few hundred for harleys canned stage 1 map.
you can pay a coupla hundred for a fuelpak or pcv and use a canned map.
you can pay a coupla hundred for a fuelpak or pcv and get a 1 time map for another coupla hundred.
you can pay a few hundred for a PV and let it map itself.
or pay a buncha money for something that is continuously mapping.
if you autotune you'll want to log in 100 mile or so increments to flash and repeat that a coupla times. but you can hook it up ( drop the PV in your saddlebag or a backpack strapped to the backseat) go for a nice ride ( a lap around the island?), flash and then stow on a shelf it till the next ride.
it probably is more than you need if your only doing a stage1. but its not a whole lot more than any of the other options and will still be useful if you decide to go further.

Last question. Is it possible to use it on multiple bikes?

it marries itself to a bike. you can spend $200 bux per additional bike as long as they use the same style ecu. basically you have 4 pin diag ports or 6pin diag ports (canbus). make sure to get the correct one for your bike.

I'm not 100% but I believe you can only get 1 additional licence per unit. Otherwise folks would split the cost of one unit and get 5 or 6 lic. Or a shifty guy would buy 1 and pimp it out to all his customers!

I never mount my Power Vision just put it in my Side Bag .
The Power Vision does a lot more and I mean a lot more .
You can adjust the idle up or down same with warmup RPM .
Adjust you speed-o-meter and much much more .
Also you never know when the Mods will stop .

they sell several licenses. the tune license specifically says unlimited bikes at $199 per bike.
