My oil temps are 260+ with ambient air at 75*. 1- I have ordered a 10 row jagg oil cooler. 2- I have modified base map with 2 different fuel maps to try both are still in closed loop. Have not had a chance to try them. I was reading about timing on another forum sticky and read something about advance timing at idle will run cooler? Not sure how to approach it from a timing stand point?. Other thought has been the outer cam sprockets/chain off the timing mark? From what I read it will run hot but most can tell something is not right in my case I am not thinking there is a problem with my cam job runs good other than I am surprised my bike is still so hot. My ETs are 300+ in light traffic. Very happy with how it runs its just hot. Oil pressure is good. I use synthetic oil. Any thoughts?

DynoJet has added a News section that gives you some good information. You can find it here http://www.dynojet.com/powervision/p...sion-news.aspx
Particularly interesting is the new features listed. Some of them have been requested here. I really like the change indicator and am testing the exit PC link mode. I really think that will be helpful. To exit PC link mode, click on the Powervision dropdown, select Diagnostic/Test Function then select Exit PC Link mode
quoting....
"Many new features are now available for your Power Vision. Please use the Update Client to acquire the latest software, firmware, and tune database. Some of the new features include:
Fuel Mileage Trip Center allows you to correct Distance, Fuel Used, and MPG channels to yield accurate MPG readings.
Added Smooth and Interpolate functions to WinPV
Added Undo function to WinPV
Added Revert to Last Loaded function to WinPV
Added a visual indication to identify parameters that dont match when using the compare feature. This offers a quick, easy way to identify where the tune has changed.
Added Exit PC Link Mode function to WinPV. This will allow you to enter a few menus, such as Datalog without the need to have the Power Vision attached / plugged into the bike. No more draining the battery to assign channels to gauges

..and more.

Is there some way to get word to the development team to include some type of "What's New" field in WINPV that would let you read the latest improvements (by version) to both WINPV as well as the PV unit itself?
Also will it ever be possible to have an "updater" for the LogTuner or will will we always have to download the latest version and delete the old version. It should be relatively easy to add an update feature to the LogTuner, shouldn't it?

Iclick,
I have an electrical background and personally despise butt connectors, I never use them. I would strip the two wires back and use a lineman's joint. Solder and then cover with heat shrink. If the splice is open to the elements, you can get heat shrink that will seal water tight. Another option would be to install a quick disconnect connector that is weather tight, like the end of the PV cable that plugs into the bike. I hope this helps.

After re-reading his post, I don't think he advised against it. I think he mention how he has handled it. A lot of people use butt splices because they are quicker and easier than soldering. As for resistance added to the circuit, what little bit if any added should be negligible.

I've been replying on the other thread, so I won't comment further here about the heat issue. I'd like to see what kind of ET's you're running, which you can view when the PV is attached while riding. Run it at around 50-60 mph for a while and notice where ET settles, as well as noting the ambient temp during the ride. Then let's see where it runs in city riding, not in gridlock but moving along with routine stoplight interruptions. The results should be telling, and I would also like to know what type of OTG you're using (fairing or dipstick). Whichever it is I'd suggest checking its accuracy. IMO those OT's are too high for 75° ambient, even without a cooler. I would hate to think about your OT's running in S. LA right now. Like I said on the other thread, we haven't seen 75° for months except maybe at 3am.

Well, he said "On your O2 sensor you can splice the wires however you cannot solder them." That sounds like "Don't use solder," but I can't imagine why not. I agree with you about butt connectors, as I don't trust any connection that is held together only by a crimp. I've had too many of those come loose, and it just doesn't take that long to solder and heatshrink a splice.
