I elected to tie the module to the wire harness here in violation of the destructions which suggest locating it in the battery box. I also left the narrow band sensors (connectors hanging vertically) in place until after dyno day.

The 3rd Vtune session and the first with SE smart tune pro.



WoW! May need bigger injectors...



ASAP whiteout is good! Once I achieve this, I move on to spark tuning.



Maybe I'll wait to install the heat shields/crash bar until after dyno day...

Something is wrong. All white is good but you should see the "new" ve numbers in the boxes. Unfortunately you've processed no data. Either you've missed a setting in a drop down window while programming, recording or processing the data in vtune.

I don't know, that's also what I thought but this my first time out with the SE smart tune pro. I found it hard to believe the differences were within 5% of the last run as well.
But the software doesn't overload you repeat info. I ran the same tune with spark processing enabled (below) and it only shows the changes that it made.


No more testing right now due to cold, rainy weather but the bike running very strong!

Above is the same file as viewed in DataMaster.
I zoomed in on the part where it recorded the knock retard but as you can see it definitely captured all the info. I also watched the entire run and it shows the VE values all the way through.

Looks like just a setting for the SE smart tune isn't set. The ve numbers you see are what's in the map that you programmed. I'd check that you had the SE selected in the drop down menus. I use a green TTS with DTT attached, so my settings are different than what yours will be. The first time I recorded data I selected the vtune option when programming. I found out that sets the map up for you to tune with the narrow bands, so I was getting narrow band data where I wanted broadband. Have you run the updater recently as there were updates Mar 13. You'll get it figured out.

Fight recorder has Vtune and SE smart tune pro module options in both of the standard/advanced configuration modes and I selected both options. But my CRS is kicking in and I don't remember if I selected standard or advanced the last time.
Going to prep it for its next flight and use the advanced option!
