I have a 2012 Roadglide with V and H Powerduals and V and H Monster Ovals. I'm using a Zippers Thundermax tuner. It seems to run ok but gets spark knock between 2200 and 2500 RPM. Harley keeps telling me that is normal. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm getting really aggravated.
Did you have to do a Dyno every time you made map corrections?
Spark knock is not normal. Have you had your bike dynoed? You do not need to do that when you make a map adjustment. In fact, once you get the map dialed in you should never have to dyno it, just let the auto tune do its thing.
Zippers has a service where you can run a data collection log and email it to them. They will either tweak your map or send you a new one. This would be the best place to start.
