I stumbled on the Decel Pop page and thought, hey, here is the solution to my pop. When I started messing around trying the different settings of Decel Pop control my mileage went to hell. At this point I was rapidly approaching searching for a solution for which there was no known problem {and yes, the government does this all the time}.

I suspect that the ECM takes a bit of time to learn the new tune/fuel map and the pop I initially had probably would have gone away if I had just left well enough alone after flashing the new map. I screwed around for a month or so and now finally have what I sought in the first place.... far better performance and only a small hit on my mileage - 4 mpg less as predicted by V&H.
Got it... and I agree it might have gone away. I know it does take some time for the ECM to learn changes. When I changed cams in my bikes and flashed new maps, they only got about 20 mpg for the first tank or so, until the ECM figured it out....Glad your happy with it now!!

Have either of you ran the auto tune function to fine tune to your bike and riding styles?

Yes, I have...With my Breakout, after installing the FP3 and flashing the map for my V&H pipes, it ran really good, but I did notice a slight improvement after a couple of auto tune sessions. Later, when I swapped cams, I edited the map with the new Andrews 37H cams and re-flashed. The bike ran GREAT, but I did run a few extensive A/T sessions just to see it could run any better. I really didn't notice any improvement, the bike actually runs better across the board with the base map and cam edit, so I flashed it back....When I installed the FP3 on my Rocker, I knew I would be swapping cams soon, so I didn't bother running A/T. I flashed a new map when the cams went in and the bike runs perfect, so I'm in no hurry to run an A/T session... I think when running V&H pipes the FP3 base maps are pretty close to "right-on"!!!

I think they actually tune them on the Dyno to perfection. I've no complaints about how my '17 RGS runs... with just an intake and slip on change and an FP3 it runs MUCH stronger than a stock M8 motor.

So no need to flash the map after adjusted the decel pop setting ? Because everytime I flashed the map after I chose which setting I want, the decel setting back to "OFF" position. That I found out right after I flashed it than I went to "VIEW /EDIT MAP > Decel POP Setting"

Anytime you make a change to the FP3 including the decel pop setting , you must reflash or it won't take affect .
