Default Unplug ACR harness before flashing ECM?

Hi, I just got my PowerVision and some 4.9 GSM injectors. My bike has ACRs and the only aftermarket install instructions I have seen for fuel injectors says to unplug the ACRs before flashing to avoid damage to them. I have the 2011 Service manual but of course it does not have anything to say regarding ACRs. So can someone comment and clue me in on where the harness is plugged in?

ACR connector plugs sit just above the throttle body- a pair of two wire, two pin plugs.

Any chance they have a data log from those runs we could look at? Post the current PV map? Maybe something to be discovered there.

me neither - I hear something 'clicking' when programming finishes tough - might be the ACRs cycling.

It was Injector install instructions from Fueling.
I did it on the install for the new injectors, what the hell didn't want mess anything up. Have not done it for tuning the bike- seems unreasonable step for flashing the ECM. Of course I discovered that my ACRs had been disabled the whole time ( really liking the PV+WinPV). No wonder I've gone thru two batteries in two years, eh. Starts like butter on a hot day now with 'em enabled

Default Cap or Scale?

Hey folks, having fun with the PV doing some basic auto tuning with the base map FM sent me. Did 5 good sessions yesterday- hills,freeway, traffic, putting, WOT,etc.
PV continues to ask me to cap or scale, I've been capping assuming not enough data. However when comparing the base map to the last auto tune generated map I see a cluster of 127.5 VEs between 3-4.5 rpm and 6 to 60 % TP on the new map. Thinking I need to scale now to see improvement? Can't really say bike is running any better off the last auto generated map.... looks like a smaller cam+less extensive headwork on FMs base map compared to my bike. Whatta ya think?

I recently installed the target tune and was trying to run it. I'm showing that I have version 2.2.01.1646 on my software. I have tried updating it and I keep getting an error. Has anyone else run into this problem or know a fix?
