Default FP3 Autotune

Hi,

Tried to run an auto tune today using FP3, but as soon as I put the bike into gear and hit throttle, it stalled out. Tried twice and same result both times. The base map was for V&H shorts shots with standard baffles (which is what is installed not the bike), bike is a 2014 Iron 883. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

I had the same issue when trying to auto tune with the fp3. Went back to the base map for short shots and high flow intake and the bike ran like it should. When I contacted V&H they told me to just run the base map no need to auto tune. Try running the base map and see if it works

Thanks - that is what I ended up doing. I wanted to auto tune because I added the Smartpartz Hard Kore baffles, so the setup was not the standard V&H pipes only and wanted to see if performance could be optimized a bit more. I ended up trying the base map for both quiet and regular baffles and the regular one seems to run best, so that is where I left it. Strange that they would have an auto tune feature that actually does not work????

The stalling is because we turn-off the accel-pump feature and if not allowed to warm up a little more. It requires smooth throttle actuation and allowing the motor to reach full operating temp. AutoTune will not begin acquiring data until it does so. We also turn off decel-enleanment. All of these could skew the results of AutoTune, thus why they are disabled.

While it should be common sense, do the instructions with the FP3 clearly state that that bike should be at normal operating temperature before starting an auto-tune session?

Just curious.

The instructions do say that the bike needs to be at operating temp to collect data....but wasn't totally clear that it needs to be at operating temperature before starting a session. Maybe its common sense, but I'm new to this and did not realize that was the case. I figured it would just not start collecting data until it was warmed up. Will try again this weekend without starting the autotune session until after the bike has warmed up to op temperature.
