Mine (2013 Road King) is set at 2.184 pulses per km.

Try 1.800 if you bike is showing double speed

Went into tune on winPV, speedometer calibration and it is set at 900, it will not allow me to change to 0 which is what my other maps are, can you be locked out of making adjustments in a PV file, can unlock?

Thanks

Open your "copy of original" tune in WinPV and see what was in the speedometer calibration box originally. If your speedometer was correct originally, put that number in the box on your new tunes. You have to open the file you want to edit; "open to compare" files cannot be edited.

Hi,

Yeah i have opened each file to check the speedometer calibration, the original file with correct operating speedometer has "0" in box,

Got a new map from dynojet with "900" in the speedometer calibration box and speedo now incorrect, when in winPV i type in "0" but just reverts back to "900"

Like the box is locked out

Thanks for replies

Thanks
Mirrmu

Ok, yesterday I seafoamed the **** out of my combustion chambers. Today I just switched to this open loop map, it's rich as **** everywhere it needs to be. I have retarded my timing A LOT. And then today I get more knocking...front cylinder, 3000rpm, 102kpa, ONLY 9 degrees of advance! This is beyond ridiculous. What the **** is wrong with my engine??

Can you hear the knock or is it being observed on the PV? Last year I was chasing knock observed on a datarun. I changed the plugs and the phantom knock went away. Just a thought.

Can definitely hear it and I just installed new plugs. It's no phantom.

However, it doesn't feel violent and I never feel a drop in performance...it's just light "ting" sounds.

On another note, I just almost died on the highway playing with my PV when some asian woman cut me off. Locked up the rear, but got it back. **** me.

Based on your bike description it's pretty much a basic Stage 1 bike. It should tune up in 4 or 5 AT runs. Start from scratch with the tune the vendor sent you. Go into PV and pull your original tune. Compare timing tables. Did it ping before the PV cal was flashed? If it didn't ping before, with the OEM cal, and it's pinging now, you have either a VE issue or a timing issue. If you pulled as much timing out as you say and it's still pinging I would start with VE's. Without the bike here and seeing the cal it's hard to diagnose. Sometimes you need to start from scratch and that's what I recommend you do. Bring it back to it's original state, OEM cal. Is it pinging? If not, then do a compare with the cal the vendor sent you and look at all the yellow flags for differences. If it doesn't rattle with the OEM cal then can eliminate it being a mechanical issue. Is it bad gas at the pump? Did you try a different station? Do you have a bad plug wire? Just because you got a so-called tuned cal from the vendor doesn't mean it's going to be right, correct, or even close. Different gas, different elevation, different temperatures, all change things. Timing can sometimes be a bear to nail down, as others here have struggled with it too. Start from scratch and slowly bring it forward is the best suggestion I can give you. But keep posting what you find. It helps others that may be facing the same issue.

Few questions I would like to ask for a beginner.

1. Where do I need to be looking to find if I am getting knock or pinging? I have seen this referenced in a few posts.

2. How do I view logs once I get them and save them from PV.

3. Besides VE tables what else do I need to be looking at? My last autotune I got a 1% average 6% Max, what does a good table look like, what am I looking for?

4. Am I missing any other useful information I should know for a beginner?

Also seen reference to map do I need to know what this means or just focus on what my table looks like etc?

Thanks
Mike

I'm a quitter! I took my bike to Dyno Solutions in Brookfield CT. John used his magic on my 2012 Limited with my Power Vision on his Dyno. I, like many others have been working on their tunes for a long time. I thought my bike was running good before I took it to Dyno Solutions, but after John was done....WOW nice smooth power. no more spots where the rpm's and power builds slow. It winds up fast now!
I guess my point is that I was able to use auto tune with Fuel Moto's base map to get my bike running good....just not GREAT! I now believe you need a good Dyno tuner to dial it in.
