That's all I use is the 4 gauge. RPM, engine temp, battery voltage, and gear. If, like you say, I'm chasing something, I'll add them and use the 6 gauge.

I have a question on the speedo calibration.

I was going to use a Garmin GPS I have to see if my speedo calibration was right. I wanted to use the Power vision to display my speed digitally to make it easy to see. I selected VSS on the power vision. I noticed that this showed about 2-3 mph different than my speedo with VSS showing slower.

my calibration was set to 2127 the difference came out to about a 4% difference. I set the speedo cal to 2222 but the speedo still seems off the VSS

I plan on checking with the GPS tomorrow but wondering why the VSS and the Speedo were off


Thanks

Most stock speedos are off, don't matter if it's bike, car, or truck. I've heard it's a kinda liability thing, not sure if it is actually true or not.

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.

Boy... I could NOT agree more. Like a 1000% agree.

Dudes think it's kool to run the engine at 1800 rpms. That beats the engine to death. Ride where it was MADE to ride at, and it's nice, smooth, ready for that throttle twist, etc.

This IS a dead horse, but it does need repeating once and awhile.

was wondering if anyone had a map that would be close to my set up they could email me tobiasd@charter.net?

2007 96", stage 1 intake, SE255 cams, V&H true dual w/ V&H HI-output slip-ons

Thanks in advance I have gotten through about 200 pages of this thread but still have a long way to go.

Is there any way to make a 2013 bike run closed loop and not use the data from the 02 sensors?

Short answer - no.

Long answer - No, operating in closed loop requires use of sensors/feedback, and on these bikes there are no other sensors to do that.

However you could run open loop and not use data from the O2 sensors.

Where did you get the PV? If they didn't send you a cal to start with you can use the closest from the DJ website. You're going to have to tune it anyway. It just might take a few extra runs to get it dialed in. If you read 200 pages you already know enough to get a half azzed tune started.

No. Have you already dialed in your VE's?
