I have heard of a lot of people having issues with power commanders. I have had vance and hines fuelpaks on 2 different bikes and never had any issues. The bikes run really well with them. I got my current fuelpak used in the classifieds here for $100.

one of the weak points of a power commander is the connection ( and other tuners may have this same weak point).

Just the existence of 2 extra multipin connections can screw up the sensor input to the ECM and the signals from the ECM to the actuators ...more liklihood of a dirty or poor connection.

Often this is fixed by simply unplugging and replugging the device- try that first and see if your normal spark returns.
If so, then it is "fixed"

Problem with the FP3 is that it only works on newer models with the canbus.

Ditto what mkguitar said. No more mods than you have that tuner should suffice unless you got money burning in your pocket then Power Vision is great. Try a little bit of dielectric grease on contacts before reconnecting plug.
