Default Question about Dyno Tuning

I recently went to the dyno to get a custom map&nbsp\\; I have the FM setup but just wasn’t running right&nbsp\\; sure enough the dyno showed the map from FM was seriously flawed&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; had the custom map done and sent it to a buddy to try on his bike and his email response is below&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; is all this true?
Eddie, I hate to say this but I think J at Solutions didn't finish his job&nbsp\\; He did the same thing to RB his first time around, too &nbsp\\;if I recall. I just looked at your map and notice that John only gave you one single fuel table&nbsp\\; The Power Commander when used on a Harley should have a separate fuel table for cylinder 1 (front cyl) and cylinder 2 (rear cyl)&nbsp\\; Take a look at Jamies map and you will see what I am referring to&nbsp\\; The maps for the front and rear cylinders will usually differ slightly due to different variables such as engine heat etc&nbsp\\; Even though your bike runs terrific after your visit to John I will bet that it could still run a lot better&nbsp\\; I think you should call John and ask him about this

He is correct in what he said about different settings and separate tables for each cylinder.
