yeah this is what Im thinking is wrong aswell. My thought is that the battery voltage was low from the cold cranking during pressure testing tried to flash tune and it lost comm w ecu mid flash the pv couldnt tell if ecm received tune. turn off bike and bam only got half a program. Question is would the ecm need to be replaced or just reflashed w original at dealer. Since it was dropped off last night and still havent heard I would guess it needed ecm

Well dealer loaded factory tune into ecm with digital tech and reloaded pv tune. Bike is back to running. He also turned on the acrs which were switched of along w heated o2s kind of odd but all is well. Bike is on its way to the tuner. My brother and I appreciate everyone input.

so, now what would be interesting is to see if the power vision can see the tune in the bike or if the pv is what **** the bed.... i'd be kinda scared to hook it up actually. what if it corrupts your ecm again?

Still sounds like it was a communication problem during the last flash.

he also changed the ecm settings for led blinkers and fixed his acrs for 140bucks total which feels like stealing

said the dealer reloaded the pv tune. i wasn't sure if that was utilizing the op's power vision, or if they had a shop license and loaded the pv tune with their equipment. i assumed it was using their equipment and not the op's. wouldn't be the first time i was wrong....
