Rocker, thanks for the hint...when time has come I will check availability and pricing on all of these!

 

those fp3's are quickly becoming the tuner of choice.
Love the support that comes from FuelMoto, but it is a bit a of a pain having to gather the lap top and locating all the bits and pieces my kids borrow every time I need my stuff.
Don't even matter how good I am at hidin things, they find them and loose them. As in... Where the hell is my USB cable now?? LOL

 

One of the nice things about the Power Vision is that you can pull you SE dyno tune right off of the ECM and then just adjust your gearing parameters. No need to re calibrate any air, fuel or timing settings. We learned last week, in another thread, that this is not possible had your bike been tuned with TTS. I'm doing the same thing right now, already retrieved my tune with the Power Vision just have to get my gearing changes done. If you have any questions I will be glad to help.

 

^^ concur with Fat11Lo on that one and (smacking myself in the forehead), I should have mentioned that earlier too. doh. Thanks Fat at least one of us here is not being a dummy. ;p

Install Powervision on bike, it will automatically make a backup of the current tune on ECM. from there you can select 'load copy of current' and save it to one of the PV's tune file slots. then take the PV and open the tune file in WinPV software on the computer. save the file to your computer with something like "original tune".

Edit the tune in WinPV, change the speedometer calibration value. In WinPV select "save as" and call it "original tune-modified-speedo".
Now use WinPV to upload the modified tune back to the PV to a different tune file slot, put PV on bike and flash the modified tune to ECM.
Select "no" to the prompt on the PV for "reset learned trim values?"
No re-tuning needed and you will still be using your dyno-tuned settings just with the new speedo value.

I think you can do same with the FP3 - plug that in to bike and only edit the speedo setting. you would not need to adjust any other parameters so you'd still be using your current dyno tuned settings. Rocker B can probably confirm this.

 

All changes with the FP3 are done in map/edit, so the PV is a better option if you want to keep your current tune, the FP3 doesn't have ability to learn your current map, you would have to flash a new one and then make changes to it.

 

Thanks Rocker B- so I guess that narrows it down for you EagleRay! PV

 

Cant wait to the day when Siri becomes an optioun for tuning bikes. Siri be like, that's as fast as it will go Jack. I be like, bull **** bitch!

 

I love your enthusiasm . . .

LA and Rocker, thx a lot for the clarification and the step-by-step procedure....sounds like the PV seems to be the way to go.....will definitely consider this and come back once I really decided to do the mod. Great info guys!

 

^ Good luck on everything - Definitely gotta give Fat11Lo some credit here since he pointed out the obvious on the PV that I had stupidly overlooked. That one fact where you can save your dyno tuned ECM settings and carry them into the PV should make things a whole lot easier for you. No downtime.
