tune
This is a great thread. I have PV installed on my 07 RK. Currently using the map downloaded by Jamie according to my current upgrades. I have avoided the autotune feature for fear of screwing my ride up.....it seems to run well, but I do notice I'm averaging about 37mpg (only ride solo, mostly 50-70mph, some city). I don't know if that's high or low compared to others, I'll be doing some full tank highway riding this weekend, and can compare numbers.
I do get a little decel popping, maybe some autotune sessions will eliminate that?
I guess I just need to be more adventurous.

Sometimes finding that someone who you know can tune and trust, is hard to find

Call Dynojet; they'll tell you who is PV certified closest to you. They can also tell you who has the right dyno in your area irrespective of Dynojet certification. Not just any of their dynos is capable of handling the PV; it requires computer software that the older more basic models aren't set up to handle if I remember correctly from my last conversation with them.
To those of you just now feeling adventurous enough to try AT.... it takes a lot more than a 15 minute run to fill all the cells, and it takes more than one run at it. There are a lot of areas where you ride that you wouldn't think important. Just keep building off of the "last tune" that you've run, and you'll eventually feel pretty darn satisfied with what you've got. I have been told that 3 tunes should be plenty, but I've done more than three. That's fine too because it doesn't hurt anything to run two to three more in order to ensure that you've covered ALL of the areas where you run; including the stop and go traffic that you'll encounter in town.
Like I tried to articulate in another post about this...the PV isn't the Holy Grail, but it's a really useful tool once you get over the reluctance to apply it. I was reluctant myself, and am now glad that guys on this website challenged me to dive in. I have found that the PV will give back as much as you're willing to put into it. That pretty much sums it up.

Was going to auto tune today.....bike is running too good! Lol! Just don't seem right?
Mpg is mid 40's. Which I attribute to less throttle when cruising. I'm sure when I pull the trigger it will be worse. Just nice to know bike is running most efficiency when it's all dialed in.

I bought the PV when we got our 10 Ultra. I put a decatted pipe, stage 1, and screming eagle nightsticks on it. Went with the tune suggested by the folks at PV, then auto tuned it three times, with the last being a 90 minute ride through all conditions.
I ran that tune for a bit, had the tinest bit of decel backfire. I pulled the plugs and the rear cyclinder was running a bit leaner. Enriched the rear a bit per PVs suggestion and the bike has been spot on.
She jumps when you snap the throttle, and gets 44-45 solo, 40-41 two up (this is with the 96). Best purchase I made for the bike, along with a set of fans for the heads (bike never breaks 240 now unless I get lazy).

I bought the pv-5 when I changed things on my 2012 uc worked great. Then I installed an S&S 124 motor with Bassani 2 into one pipes. S&S provided a basic tune for the motor for the PV. After loading that tune and using auto tune 3 times I found everything running smoothly! MPG is 41.6 so far even with the larger engine.
