Power Vision Information Thread
I've got the PV2 on the handlebars and can't get a gear indicator reading. I know the signal is avaliable cause the gear is displayed on the speedo. Could this not be programed on the PV2 yet? Does anybody else have the gaer displayed on the Touring or Softail?

I have a PV that I got from FM and a MAP from Jamie at FM and the bike runs real well (better gas milage than stock, better power and almost no decel popping) but after reading most of this thread a few times over I feel like Im missing the potential of the PV by not trying to do some data logging runs and fine tune my MAP.
In your guys experience in a general sense is it worth my time ? I guess its kind of a subjective question since I like the way my bike runs but am I correct that as long as I stay within the parameters that have been recommended by FM and others it would not be possible to damage my engine.
Im a novice to EFI tuning and Im a lot tentative about it.
Any opinions or encouragement appreciated.

........................ ...............I would like to also upgrade from the PCV (without AT) to the PV, but...
as iclick mentions in his awesome original post: 'Okay, so why would I change tuners when my bike was running fine and I had developed a good working knowledge of my previous tuner? I had been running the PCV with Auto-Tune for two years and can honestly say that I couldn't ask the bike to run any better, but I was drawn to the Power Vision (PV) for several reasons:(see OP)
I'm also a novice to EFI tuning and after reading this entire thread you'd think I'd learn something but am now more intimidated by the fact that I just may furk something up 'FUBAR' even though I'm somewhat computer savvy and would have the stock tune saved. If I decide to go with the PV?
At least with the PCV the great tech staff over at Dynojet can tap into my laptop while connected to the bike for remote support to see what's really goin' on? or to fix what I might F'up?
a ton of good info here to the point it's almost overwhelming? but, I'm a quick learner

Novice question, I have a 2010 crossbones. According to what i have read, the bike comes with a 02 sensor that is supposed to adjust the air/ fuel mixture. I've been looking at adding Vance and Hines big shot longs and going with their Vo2 big sucker air filter system. Would the original ecm map with the o2 sensor handle this or do i need to get a pcv with auto tune or go with the Pv? what happens to the O2 sensor as well, is it disconnected. I'm trying to understand this. Thanks

With the big twin motors, it is best to leave the o2s working. It has been my experiance that every bike needs tuning, even the stock ones.

I used the smoothing function on my latest tune and noticed that if I highlight a range of cells in a particular rpm column, and click smooth in the drop down, it takes about 4 or 5 clicks before the cells no longer change. Should you just smooth the range once, or until the values no longer change?
