You're doing pretty well. Most like to get VE's to 5% or less.

Not bad then.. Only took 3 small rides to get it to that point. I've never been able to get the table fully populated tho.. I've tried riding every which way.. Either way the way the bike runs as of now by far justifies paying for the pv

I haven't done an autotune since October, but shutting the bike off saves the data. You can turn the bike back on go to Autotune and the data will be populated and you can even collect more data, or just save the tune to a slot.

You didn't lose the data.

I may be wrong, but my memory is I have made the mistake of shutting down the bike and been able to recover and continue to AT.

Program Vehicle > Autotune > Datalog. (I'm pretty sure Datalog would bring up existing data, Enable Autotune might start a new log)

mea culpa if I'm wrong, I'm traveling an away from the bike. The good news is you can start again, and it's all fun.

Enjoy the weather. There is still 3 feet of snow in my front yard and it's 28'F.. that's in Massachusetts. The wife and I are traveling to Florida for Red Sox spring training and we're in Savannah Ga now. It's 80's and mild. sheesh!

I sent Jamie my map after 5 AT runs along with a couple of logs I made after the 5th AT was loaded. The log looked pretty good to me, but I wanted Jamie to take a look at it before I called it done. He sent me back another map to load based on my final AT map with an explanation as to the changes he made. Here is his reply.


"Hello, took a look at your maps and they look really good. The VE is pretty well dialed in, I changed the 20/25Kpa areas a bit as Auto Tune leaned these values, there is decel fuel cutoff in this area that affects AT operation in this area. Other than that that most of the map was pretty much for the most part within 3-5% of the original calibration. The minor knock events are going to be normal. If you continue to do AT runs I would set the Minimum MAP to 30Kpa to prevent adjustment of the decel area, otherwise you should be ready to go with your map."


I went ahead and made the changes to the PV since I will be doing a catless head pipe later on.

Hey guys I'm having a problem I'm wondering if any of you guys can help me. I'm getting ready to order a 2nd license to tune another one of my bikes. I followed fuel moto's instructions to pull the ecm data off the bike and connected the pv to my laptop and all was good. I ran the update client and there was a couple updates I had to do to get everything current. It said to do the software update 1st so I did that and all was good till I went to go to the next one. Now it says that I must install a critical system upgrade. Well I went to do that and now the pv won't connect to the laptop. The pv itself says PC link mode active but the laptop keeps saying the pv is not connected. It now tells me to go into recovery mode and wait for drivers to load but when I do that it still says pv not connected even though the pv is hooked up and the screen says recovery mode. Any advice? I plan to call fuel moto if I can't figure this out but I won't have a day off for another week and was hoping to have this bike on the road by then. Thanks for any help
EDIT: it somehow just started working. I tried running the updated one more time and for some reason it worked this time. No idea what I did different but it's sorted.

Same thing happen to me on last update. I unplugged everything and tried 10 minutes later and all went good.


I feel it might be the cable connections dirt/dusty.
