go back to the previous FW. You can download the FW from the Power Vison site

http://www.dynojet.com/powervision/p...Power%20Vision

The database I got from another member and he showed me were it is downloaded to on the PC but if you just got yours you probably have only done this update.

So, I downloaded the previous Firmware from dynojet.com, connected my PV1, opened the update client, selected firmware, update from local, found the download, but as it's installing it stops and says "didn't find a pvu to install".
.....??
Not sure that it makes any difference, but i'm using Windows 8. I did the PV Recovery thing too, but after i put the PV back on the bike, if i open datalog or autotune (basic) the bike refuses to stay running after a few seconds.
I appreciate help offered here, just don't wanna be a PITA for anyone. I've sent a msg to DynoJet and hoping to get some help tuesday morning.

I'm also having problems with the latest download. If the PV is plugged in the bikes speedometer and tachometer freeze up. I downloaded PV_FIRMWARE-2.0.8-1412.pvu but need the corresponding map file. Where can I find it?

Thanks,
Steve

OK I will post what I know on how to go back in FW version ( a lot is thanks to UltraNutz)

You can currently download the previous version FW from the DynoJet link I posted above. When the download is complete you need to unzip the file and then you can use the update client and select update from Local file

I was originally given the data base file from a forum member but was also told where I could find both the firmware and the data base on my computer.(a copy of both is downloaded to your PC when you do the update)

C:\Users\your computer name\AppData\Local\Temp ( Windows 7 )

Here you will find all the firmware files you have updated and also the data base files that are needed. (unless you have cleared the folder) Then you can use the Update Client and select Update from local file. You will need to do this 2 times 1 time for the firmware file and 1 times for the data base file


For the member that had only done 1 update to his unit I would do the factory reset that Smokey Stover posted (post #6416)

Hope this helps

If anyone has anything else to add or correct what I have written feel free to chime in

Anytime you update firmware there is a chance it may go bad.
Resetting the power vision and reloading the firmware is easy.
If you can not find the instruction just ask.
When you rest the firmware all you saved tunes should still be there but I would download them just incase.

Hey everyone...

I am fairly new to the PV. I am on page 435 out of 600 + so I definitely have a better understanding than I did when I started reading this thread.

I have a few questions though. I just installed some 574 EZ Start Crane Cams. Jamie at FM didn't have a base map so someone at DJ sent me one. I have done 4 AT runs (Basic) and below are my VE's at the moment. Is it just me or does it seem like I have ALOT of VE's capped on the rear cylinder? The bike certainly runs much better than it did with the base map but I really want to get these VE's dialed in and then mess with the AFR since I still get some decel popping (although not bad).

Can you guys give me thoughts on my VE's? Is it normal for the rear cylinder VE to be this much different?

And here is the AFR table that came with the base map...

Default Can a tune drift?

I thought I had this figured out but I'm not sure. My bike has been autotuned many times and I've been very happy with the performance and mileage. A few weeks ago, I put in a full tank of 87 octane non-ethanol gas and the bike started pinging almost immediately on hard acceleration. Next tank was pure 92 and the pinging seemed to start to get better but was still there. The next tank was 92 10% ethanol (which is what I normally run) and the occasional ping is still there.

I assumed that the ECM would adjust over time and eliminate the ping again. For the most part the bike runs fine...it's just that occasional ping when I twist hard on the throttle.

Will time take care of this? Should I do another autotune with crappy or mid grade fuel? Thoughts?

Look at your log files in Excel and see where the pinging is occurring. Subtract 2 degrees from the area where the pinging occurs and possibly adjacent cells.

Run another log and repeat until you get rid of the pinging.
