Default FP3 Tuner? How long do you auto tune?

I bought the FP3 Auto Tuner. I installed it and the next two days went on a weekend trip a little over 500 miles. I drove it all day the first day and applied the auto tune and then did the same thing the following day when I got home. The majority of the trip was 65 to 75 mph with the cruise minus the driving through the towns. Yesterday I drove it to work and back home, some of it was in Oklahoma City traffic , speed up and slow down, stop lights, etc., with the rest on the turnpike at about 78 - 80 mph. I noticed a few changes to the green, I am sure was the stop and go traffic that changed. I have noticed a significant difference in the way the bike runs after these auto tune rides so have I probably maxed it out as much as I can or should I keep auto tuning it a while longer?

I spent about 2 hours on auto tuning on a quiet late Sunday night. This way I wasn't bothered with traffic, when riding far below the speed limit in the higher gears. Filled over 30 cells in green and called it a night. I clicked on finish.

My average fuel economy was 36 MPG on my stock 2015 Road Glide CVO, (110" engine) before tuning.

Now my average is over 40 MPG on the last 5 fill ups. My seat of the pants dyno says it accelerates faster & smoother. I also chose "moderate" setting for throttle.
I'm very pleased with my FP3.

What they show and what they tell you is different. I called them and he said 3 one hour runs, save each, then flash.

I don't believe the time of the runs is what populates the cells; it's the variety of riding conditions. Doing 3 one hour runs without varying the runs won't do jack.

I agree, I'm just telling you what they told me.

Rode it in as many conditions as possible while trying to not use any cruise for about 75 miles. I uploaded it, and it runs great, so I'm leaving it be.

Installed mine last week rode with base map results were decent, time for Auto tune next weekend have a plan for 600 plus miles ride but not sure if I can handle it without using the cruise control on open road.

This was my first auto tune, like other have said you need to stay in the rpms/throttle percentage for a certain amount of time for that particular cell to learn.


Normally three/four seconds if I recall.

There is a really good info on Streetglide.com on how to achieve all the desired results but not sure if I want to rev it higher then 5K RPM just because I never ride it that way.
