Default Power Vision (dumb?) Question

So the advice on here is Power Vision over PCV.

Dumb question risk, but do you have to have the LCD screen (Power Vision) on your bike at all times or can you simply plug the device into the diagnostic port, flash the ecm and unplug?

I don't really want the LCD screen on the handle bars or anywhere on the bike.

Not at all! Only when you run auto tune session and reflash ecu. I was going to leave it off my bike but end up mounting it, it's handy.

Cool, thanks guys. So that prompts another dumb question, why don't we just buy one and share it? lol, jk, sort of.

So is it seriously as easy as plugging into the diag port, loading your map, flash the ecu, and whammo - fast bike?

Vendor recommendations? Lots of kudos to Fuel Moto on here for map support.... I'm in Canada mind you.

One unit can only handle so many bikes, but it is a locked license. My buddy and I share one (he owns it) but I was able to buy a tune license for my bike for $200

The Power Vision when bought new will come with a tune for your bike . When you down load that the PV will be married and will not work on any other .

I don,t leave it on the bike unless I,m doing an Auto Tune and then I put it in my T-Bag . But the PV will do a lot more then just tune your bike A LOT MORE .

The PV will display your speed the RPM,s and head temp and a bunch more . It is fun to play with .

So if i don't want all the bells and whistles, am I better with the PCV, or do you still have more tune-ability with the P-Vision. 200 bucks worth? Forgive me, Scottish blood.

Auto-tune pro is definitely worth it, the wide band 18v oxygen sensor is the key. I have done 3 pro sessions and compare Fuelmoto A/B maps, dead on! You can always use PV alone with basic auto-tune and add AT pro later.

Go with the PV from FuelMoto. They add extra warranty, supply a tune for your bike and have great service.
Also, consider adding the Auto tune. It is worth the extra few bucks.

I have been using a VH FuelPak for 7 years with good success, time to do some fine tuning.

I have both modules just waiting to be installed. Not in a hurry right now with 4 feet of snow in my front yard. Starting all of my Mods next Saturday.
