Are you guys that are data logging and tweaking Fuelmoto's maps really gainf anything? I've heard that they are pretty spot on when it comes to making maps. I guess if you are beyond a stage 1 I could see tweaking....but I'm Hoping for a flash and go.

Picking my bike up today (APES!), thats my plan for now, you could probably dial it in a smidge better here and there, but I doubt you could feel that.

I'm a tinkerer. Can't help it, it's a sickness. I thought my bike was running pretty good with the Fuelmoto map and probably would have been satisfied until I looked at the data logs and saw all the spark knock events, gotta try to do better in that area.

You will need to load the modified map into your ECM and make a new pvv file with the values of the modded map as the pv will be running datalogs on the updated map. You continue that process until your VE tables have very small changes. Then quit unless you change something else that affects airflow.

if you don't have ms office (excel), and don't want to spend the money on it, you can try openoffice (http://www.openoffice.org). it will read, and edit, ms excel spreadsheets, and it's free.

Flash went fine, I think. It asked me a couple of weird questions - first one warned me not to choose it unless I'm an experienced tuner.

OK, no to that one, LOL.

The other question I'm having a hard time remembering - do I want to load the associated trim values, or something, so I answered 'yes' to that one.

I wont be able to get on it until Monday afternoon.

I don't remember seeing the first question but you answered the second one correctly.
