Here is a comparison between the two base tunes we sent you.

Good to know the main difference. Ive been running the second tune after a few good auto tune runs. Feels good so far. If you don't mind sending it to me, I would like to try the merged tune once you have it done. Thanks for taking the time to compare these tunes. It is greatly appreciated!

I will do that....looking forward to running it myself! Should have it done sometime next week.

Yours is the blue one in the chart above....as you can see it comes on stronger between 2800 & 3900 RPM, so we'll be taking that part of the tune from yours and putting with the rest of the tune from the "red" one.

nice, I am surprised at that! It was always a top end screamer for me haha. Different Pipe/Intake etc. Good to see the comparison though.

I'm just finishing the tune on my 110ci SE engine now, now that's bottom end!!!!

Yeah, different bikes, different set ups. This one has the stock 883 heads and valves...I think you're running a 1200?

Thought I would give you an update on the stage 1 tunes you sent me since it has been a while. I tried both tunes for a bit and the merged improved tune seems to be the winner of the two. The power seems to come on sooner than the first tune and pulls through the entire RPM range better as well. I haven't had a chance to take a good autotune ride yet but it seems to be running pretty well so far. I'll report back with more after running autotune.

Cool!

Glad that tune is working well for you. I'm liking it myself also.

Looking forward to hearing if it has any significant improvement after some autotune runs.
