FP3 tuning question
*** From Vance and Hines***
Use the map for V&H Eliminator 400 slip ons w/Power Duals, standard baffle for this application. Run the map for 1-2 tanks of fuel, then use Autotune after that if needed. After flashing the base map, I would recommend immediately adjusting the throttle progressivity to 'Aggressive' for much improved throttle response and overall feel. Throttle progressivity and Autotune instructions below.
THROTTLE PROGRESSIVITY
(Do this after flashing your base map)
1) Turn key/handlebar switch both on and connect to FP3 app
2) Go to Map Optimizations on the home screen
3) Select Throttle Progressivity'
4) Turn the dial to the Aggressive setting
5) Press the back button, then press the lightening bolt to flash
AUTOTUNE INSTRUCTIONS (only use if needed after 1-2 tanks of fuel with Base Map)
**Be advised that while Autotune is active the bike will not perform optimally. The AFR table is not optimized, and the cranking fuel/accel enrichment are turned off. This may translate into poor cold start performance, erratic idle, poor throttle response, and general ride quality issues. These will resolve once you Finish the Autotune. Letting the bike fully warmup before riding while Autotune is active will help to slightly diminish some of these symptoms.
1) Go to the Autotune tab in the main menu of the app.
2) Select a base map from which to start (select whichever slot your correct map is in, most likely slot 1 if this is a brand new FP3.
3)Select Quick Setup'
4) It will have you flash the bike to run Autotune, follow the in app instructions (i.e. bike off for 30 seconds, etc.)
5) Once Autotune is active, you'll want to break it down into 3 sessions, approx. 20-60 minutes each.
6) After your first 20-60 minute session, open the app and go into the Autotune section. Select Apply Values' and 'Apply'. This will take the data learned and store it, allowing for more data to be collected.
7) After the second 20-60 minute session do the same thing - Apply Values and then Apply'.
8) After the 3rd total session, select Apply Values and then select 'Finish'. This will complete the Autotune, taking everything learned from each 'Apply' and will build the map/put it into a new slot.

As the instructions suggested , you should run auto tune after a couple tanks of gas , not right after a new map has been flashed . The bike will run a bit crappy during the auto tune , but when you finally complete the tune and finalize the autotune , it should run nicely . I find the auto tune feature works better if you leave the throttle progressivity on " normal " , then change it to " aggressive " after you've flashed the new tune . This way , will require two flashes in a row , so I suggest you either remove the headlight fuse or lug in your battery tender while flashing your bike .
Give your bike a thorough inspection , making sure you don't have any exhaust leaks or intake leaks .
Exhaust leaks would cause popping on decel or off throttle ( between shifts ) , where an intake leak would cause a higher idle at cold start and erratic idle .
Check the V&H program or the bike's console for error codes just to verify there aren't any .
