thanks for the clarification
i just went for a little log run without autotune, the result was a pvv file. would it be correct to assume i only get csv logs from logging autotune runs?
is it possible to make csv logs without autotuning ?

1. What did I do wrong this time?
2. Tried justdennis's decel pop changes, and they did nothing for me and the bike did not want to idle....at all. So took those tweeks out and went back to the ve tables and added 5% (fuel) to all cells in the zero throttle position. Much better results. However, these changes got me in trouble with my files..... So back now to 1.
So I had an autotune file which I retrieved in winpv and made the above changes to. Sent it back to the device, but it would not flash to the ecm.
I'm guessing the file came out of winpv as a pvv file. You have to be able to tweek an autotuned file and put it back in the ecm. Thanks, Kranky in ky.

So what parameters do others use in the 6 field gauges screen on the PV??? I currently have
Engine Temp / Fuel Eco Instant
Baro / Fuel Eco Trip A
Fr Adapt fuel / Rr Adapt fuel
I'm not sure the last 2 are the best. Anyone have better suggestions for gauges? My map is open loop so no point in the closed loop integrator fields.

I like to run engine temp, fron and rear knock, MAP, intake air temp, and rpm. I'm fine tuning some knock issues in the 3-4.5K 90+ map areas right now and those are the most helpful to me right now. That's what I love about this thing, when my needs change my gauges can change with them.

My 2012 dyna switchback hates 2000 rpm's . lugs very badly there . Stay in 5th gear and keep rpms around 2500 to 3000 for cruising . I only run 6th gear if i am able to be at or above 2300 rpm's .usually on interstate. 2000 rpms in 6th gear feels like it is beating the bearings out of the lower end This is jmo.
Also running it in the low 2000's in 6th it will be prone to more knock events if not dialed in spot on. These bikes really need to stay above 2500 rpms, they just seem to like it there and higher.

My tune is as close to 0 knock as its going to get. Once the weather gets warmer I think it would be useful to display the front & rear knock fields for making adjustments to the new "spark advance by temp tables". But if you had no knock issues whatsoever, what fields would you use in place of the front & rear knock gauges?

I've had similar challenges in the past - same range. I believe I've read that others have as well. At some point, if you're not hearing anything and the amount is small, you just need to ignore it. If I understand it right, at some point your temps will start going back up if you remove too much advance; possibly leading to more pinging. One thing I do with spark tuning is not leave the tune at the ".*" value that Log Tuner selects. It is conservative in removing spark advance and does so in small increments. Where it wants to remove spark advance, I tend to take it down a full degree or 2 to speed up the process.

If I wasn't chasing a specific event I would probably keep the gauges the same accept for the knock, maybe just play with a couple of other options or move to a four gauge setup.
