Power Vision Information Thread
For the cleanest installation, take off the seat and gas tank, run the wire inside the main wiring harness. Finish it off with a RAM mount, it will look real sharp!

Question On EITMS Setting In WINPV
I have had my Power Vision for a couple of months now and really like it. Purchased from Fuel Moto and they preloaded a map for my '11 Triglide. Have had some pining issues that Jamie has been working on, but I think we are close to having that resolved. Anyway, I was just looking at the maps from Jamie and the stock map in WINPV and noticed that they all have the EITMS set to 0. If I understand correctly that setting disables the EITMS. The thing that puzzles me is that even the saved stock setting has 0 but I know the EITMS was working when I installed the PV because it was always kicking in. I don't know if I need to change this to a 1, but would like to have this feature active. I just don't know why the stock map would be 0 but it was working anyway.

I just went to the Power Vision and I like many of the functions and am waiting for the new functions in the software from Dynojet. EITMS in my stock map was 0 and in the map from Jamie is a 1.

What is it like when the EITMS kick in? My bike has done some intermittent funny idle I was wondering that was the problem. I have not been in any temps higher than 67. Bike was pinging and was getting a stumble off idle and roll on throttle around 2k rpm. I am open for tune suggestions before I bother Fuel Moto. I know for sure I am turning off the EITMS and see if thats my weird idle. Its not hot here if its kicking in I am surprised.

Is your EITMS selected on using the Harley way ? Meaning.... if you roll the throttle clockwise till it dont go anymore - the Cruise light symbol will light up on the Speedo gauge.. if its green then its activated.. if its Amber color, then its off.. if you hold it there it will change from current selection to on (green) or off (amber).. I dont know if the PV overrides the stock EITMS setting if selected via the throttle way.... if u can let me know or anyone else, would be great to post...
When the EITMS kicks in, you will feel a different shake of the motor and sound like a putt-putt .. like air is pushing... if you blip the throttle when in EITMS, it feels like engine will cut off or stumble - this activates the cylinder again to allow fuel to flow to it.. if u wait a few seconds and engine is still hot, it will kick into EITMS again..... i dont blip it anymore when in EITMS like my 2008 when i start off.. i release clutch and then throttle.. it seems to be smoother and no enging stumble anymore.. my bike is still all stock.. i had issue with 2008 when i had PCV and EITMS would kick in.. it would stall and puff of smoke out of AC.. Jamie sent a new map and then all was ok...
hope this helps a little.. i dont know how many post the EITMS never kicks in with a tuner and upgraded Exhaust.. mine always did and i dont live in 100 degree weather.. im lucky if we get to 80's.. but its humid here for 2 months.. thats how long our summer is...
ride safe...

The stumble off idle you describe is exact. I know the fuel moto map has it activated I am going to disable it. 67 was the high outside why would it kick in bike seems cooler and I mean way cooler than it did with stage one. I did notice these EFI bikes do not like throttle blips. No time to play off to work but going to take the bike.

iclick what a great thread. I haven't read this since it was only four or five pages long. Spent all night catching up. Between you and Jamie it completely makes it worth tinkering with this thing.
I do agree with you about DJ needing to develop a how to tune your bike from scratch instructions similar to TTS. Any progress on that front?

Not sure if this is a good place for this question but I am looking for the thoughts of those that have purchased a PV. I have a 2011 FLHTC (Electra-Glide Classic). It has run great since day one. I did a Stage II with 103, SE Air Filter and 255 cams. It has the HD ECM download for this build. The exhaust system is stock. It now runs even better. I normally use 87 octane gas here in western NC and never have any pinging or decel popping. Now, it has not been very warm. The highest ambient air temperature has not been over 85 degrees, yet. I have the 2011 oil cooler and the oil temperature has not been above 225 deg F.
The dilemma is that the bike is working great and it does not seem like anything needs fixed. What am I missing? Have there been improvements with the 2011s that make them better than prior model year bikes? I am perplexed. I would love to have a PV but getting one just to adjust the speedometer seems extreme.
I am looking for feedback. Thanks.

PV would be a good choice too, and if you chose that tuner you would still have a good tune installed for your bike, just as you would with a PCV. The difference is price ($200 or more), and the PV will give you a useful module that can be mounted on the bike to provide useful data like engine temp, MPG (avg. and instant), fuel-used, and many more.
Call Fuel Moto and ask for advice, as they won't oversell you.
