On my Stock Sportster the Auto Tune process left the tune about 4% rich.

Did you confirm the Auto Tune Settings were set for a Sportster?
You need to have the MIN Engine Temp set to 280 F, and change the max and MIN rpms from the Power Vision defaults for Sportsters.
You might also want to change the MIN map to 25-30 kpa for auto tune.

The DynoJet canned tunes I have looked at seem to mostly disable Adaptive Fuel Control, most of the tunes for 2007-2013 Sportsters also take them out of closed loop control with richer AFRs (even though Closed loop control is still turned on)

Did you compare the differences in the tunes in WinPV?

If you want a smoother running engine leave both closed loop and Adaptive Fuel Control enabled and set your AFR to 14.6 (or lambda in 2014+ tunes to ~0.990 - 0.985) from a MAP of 30-60kpa from idle to about 4000 rpms to cover the normal cruising range.
That will allow the ECU to adjust when you are riding down the highway at 40 - 80 mph at 10 to 20% throttle. (you won't make much more power running richer there when the throttle is barely open)

You will then be in the richer MAP ranges at most throttle openings over 25-30% running the richer AFRs from the 80-100 MAP columns.

 

They are a dealer, not a manufacturer. Why should they support another company's product? In your example, go to the manufacturer. FM fully supports their own customers. That's all you should expect.

 

So, I made a similar run at it earlier this week. I suggested that I would be willing to pay what they make on the sale of the Power Vision hardware if they allow me to participate in their tune download program. The cost of the unit is not why I bought it elsewhere. I just did not know FM even existed!

I received the same response. But I'm not sure the understood the point.

 

My PV I had on my Dyna never worked correctly and froze constantly. Never could do an autotune. That said a couple of the tunes made my bike run like a scalded dog!!!!! Fuel mileage was horrible however.

 

Mine use to freeze and go blank too....the fix is to route the PV cable away from any electrical. I even used RF blockers on the cable to no avail. This is an issue I discussed with fuel moto to determine cause and resolution. I routed the cable 3X before being successful....had to lifted the tank and route the cable under the top frame.

 

Well they must have their reasons. Maybe it's something to do with an agreement they made with Dynojet when Fuelmoto became a dealer for their tuner.
I knew they existed when I bought my tuner but being in Canada, the only way I could afford it without the crazy exchange rate was to buy in Canada.

 

I tried literally everything!!!! Even put it in a bag on the luggage rack so nowhere near any electricals. I owned it for over a year before ever using it (surgery) so never even bothered with contacting FM or PV about it. Won't be doing any of that with the 18 Glide as I am completely happy with performance as is. More than enough to get me in trouble now lol. There are a lot of others that messaged me having the same issues.

 

That is because you bought your Power Vision from DK Custom Products. When you do that you have our Support, Fuel Moto Support and DynoJet support. win-win-win

 

I've had results vary, sometimes not being as good as the base. A lot can depend on how it was ridden/how much it was ridden during the auto tune session. I'd give it another go, and try and ride in the auto tune session just like you normally ride.

 

Yes buying my PV from DK was a good move on my part...lol. Of course, I've always bought my parts from you first before going to other vendors just because I know you will back your products and make things good if I run into issues....you've had my back on several occasions. Thank you.

So are you saying not all vendors selling PVs get support from Fuel moto and/or Dynojet? Do they not support their own product? Seems some members are not getting the needed support for their PVs...how can they get the maps to properly tune their rides?
