Hi Guys,
I am wondering if anyone has a TTS map file they could share with me that would match my build (or come close). I have an 09 Fatboy TC96 with V&H BSS pipes with quiet baffles and screamin eagle a/c with K&N filter. I loaded the base file from TTS and I have tried several times to V-tune the bike myself but I don't seem to be getting very good results. I may just have to get it dyno tuned, but I thought I would try here first. Thanks.
just curious how it was running with the stock map? what was the problem with the vtune? I just put tts on my 09 ultra with a base map, it runs night and day.
It ran ok with the base map, but in following the documentation, I decided to try to tune it in to my engine build. There was no problems with how VTune worked, it was more of an issue with trying to collect all of the various RPM/Throttle positions that I had trouble with. After several rides I was still only collecting a very small amount of data.
I'm scheduled to have it dyno tuned next month. I don't want to screw with this thing all summer long. I will get the dyno tune done and then be able to enjoy it!
...There was no problems with how VTune worked, it was more of an issue with trying to collect all of the various RPM/Throttle positions that I had trouble with. After several rides I was still only collecting a very small amount of data.
FWIW, the data collected (assuming the system was set up correctly) will only collect data in those areas that the bike was operated.
While that seems too simplistic, most riders do not spend much time in high throttle/high load areas so the data simply won't be there.
Hardly any of my vtune sessions ever hit cells above a throttle position of 40% or 5000 rpm's...and I hardly ever ride in those loads either.
A good dyno will get into those areas but if the bike is never ridden that way then the data is not of much use.
