I was in the midst of an autotune with my FP3, I was going to go for my 3rd autotune session today to finish up the tune as I changed out my exhaust baffles so I felt it would be a good idea. My bike was running pretty strong after the 2nd riding session of doing an autotune.
However today when I went toe tart my bike it, it almost didn't, then it was running VERY choppy. I figured Id let it warm up and see if that helped once the full ratio leaned out a smidge. Well it didn't get any better and when you'd go to rev the bike, it would just sputter. I then quit the autotune and went back to the base map and uploaded that. Now the bike seems to be running OK. But I am rather concerned as it was running great yestderday and then all of a sudden it didn't. I sure hope I expect better reliability in the future. Any thoughts???
Maybe I'm wrong, but I would think if you change out your baffles, you would want to start your autotune runs all over again. Wouldn't seem like changing baffles out is a big change in AFR, but that's really the only thing that changed on your third run, so I would guess its directly related.

Ok, so you really didn't say that... I found that even after I got Autotune to work and populate the maps, the end results sucked on my '13, so I ended up going with a canned map, and it's been pretty good since then. V&H won't get off their a$$es and map Bassani (maybe because they're better pipes?) so I'm stuck with what the FP3 has.

Actually the autotune has worked well for me in the past. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be consistent. Its like the program doesn't "Stick" in the big. I am not savvy when it comes to programming, but I would think once you upload a MAP it should run the same day in and day out. My bike doesn't for whatever reason.
