I'm 195 lbs. 36 psi was as low as I went, too, with my stock 240 rear tire....mainly to achieve a more even wear pattern. My current ME 260 states 42 psi as the max pressure allowed. As the 260 has a much better wear pattern than the stock tire I run it at approximately 38 psi when riding solo increasing it to 40 psi if riding 2-up (added 122 lbs).

 

I am slowly modding my 16 breakout and was looking to order the FP3 tuner. can anyone tell me if thats a good tuner or is there a better one? this has prolly been gone over already but i couldn't find anything pertaining to the 16's

thanks

 

Unless the 2016s are somehow radically different, look into the "Power Vision" tuner. It's a s close as you can come to having the ability to modify the ECM in ways that approach factory capabilities.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the BO.

It is a "canned tuner" more or less that fools the HD ECM into running a richer fuel mix- it's not bad but it is rather limited in what it can do. From my eyes and for my intended bike modification needs it is a waste of money and over priced- but that is just me - There are others who use it and like it. There is another one too called XiED: http://sales.nightrider.com/2016_c_195.html - Same principal, fools the ecm into delivering a richer mix.

There is nothing different in regards to tuning any of the BO years- Tuning is tuning on the 103 motor. Anything you read on tuning / mods in this thread is applicable to your bike.

"Good" tuners are full featured products like Dynojet Powervision, TTS MasterTune, Thundermax - My favorite among them is the Dynojet Powervision with the new Target Tune add on. You can do anything with your bike in terms of tuning fuel for performance or economy, timing, curing decel pop, changing speedometer accuracy, etc.

It comes down to what you plan to do to your bike and why you want to buy a tuning product in the first place. What's your intended reason and goal both now and later? Determine that then get the right product.

Maybe give Jamie a call over at FuelMoto (www.fuelmotousa.com) - they are forum sponsor here and do a lot of work with aftermarket tuning, mainly with the Powervision. You can get some good info to help with your choice.

LOTS of good info in this thread so try to read as much of it as you can.

 

I use the FP3 an it does all of the above, full tuning/map editing capabilities, a/f, spark, performance enrichment, start up and idle, etc. I just used it to edit my current map after a cam change. Ran the AutoTune feature to dial it in. I love it, easy to use with app. on my ipad or cell phone, I can read trouble codes or can take my phone with me and can view real time sensor data on the road!! but yes, Xied or the Vied (adjustable) will just change a/f ratio

 

Thanks Jim G ill look into that

 

Thanks everyone for the input. looks like i have some more research to do. other then a few cosmetic changes i don't think I'm gonna do much more then a stage 1 performance upgrade, but who knows by summer i may be heading for a stage 2 or 3 lol

Ill posts some pics as soon as i upload them into my puter in the days to come

 

I had the FP3 and wasn't happy about it ! Yes it could stop the popping but that's about it ! Now I use Dyno and what a difference......!

 

By the way, for those considering the Primo Rivera Game Changer kit to up the primary gear raito by almost 6%, Primo Rivera just confirmed to me the correct part number for the version of the Game Change kit that works for the Breakout:

1066-0051 is the #

(The instructions for the kit refer to TWO kits: the 1066-0051 and the 1066-0050, without explaining the applicability or differences. Apoaprently, the 1066-0051 is the right one for the Breakout)

Just curious, why you were not happy? If you didn't like the tune, did you try running AutoTune or editing the map you were running to customize it to your liking??
