Hey all, newb here to the tuning section, first off about my ride. its a 12 SG with Big radius pipes and thunder baffles with torque cones, also running a PM A/C. Ive ordered a PV and flashed a tune already after saving the stock of coarse. it seems to ride like a champ so far! ive only ridden it this morning for about 20 min. but to be honest, im not reading through almost 400 pages of info on this PV tuner.
the instruction booklet is a GREAT dissapointment!!! it dosent explain any of the features or functions in any length of detail or even how to really use anything. so far i was only able to get as far as i am now through google, youtube, and this site.
can someone explain to me what if any gains i would get if i used autotune? also is there a set mileage or time to run auto tune to get an accurate tune?

What I'd like to see if someone with PV experience might be inclined to do so;
Step-by-step instructions on autotune basic (haven't been able to talk myself into drilling holes in a $1200 exhaust system yet), datalogging, comparing, applying learned values. I've already been down this road of countless wasted hours of street tuning with 2 other products, I don't want to waste any more time but would rather know exactly what needs to be done to achieve the tune desired for the bike to run at it's peak and ride the damn thing.

Can someone help me my pv cuts out after about 2 minutes of running if you are in the gauges all the figures disappear but the main screen stays on and if you are auto tuning it just stops recording and you still have the main screen on.
If you turn the bike off and then restart it all works fine again then it stuffs up again. Help...

Check the routing of the cable from the ECM connector to the PV. If you have it tucked up under tank be mindful of the spark plug wires, if the cable is too close to the plug wires you may get some electrical interference.
If your bike has a full length dash on the tank you can run the wire up the top of the tank/under the dash rather than under the tank.

Doing three 20 minute runs with AT and saving the learned values after each run to create the new map should get you pretty close. You will be creating a new map with each run from the previous runs map.I am no expert on this as I have only been tuning on my ride for a couple of months. Hope this helps.

can anyone tell me what the "recommended" values are for the AutoTune settings under AutoTune, settings, all the different options there such as Min Hit Count, Min VE Learn, etc please? Or should I simply leave them all set as default?
