Are you familiar with the new PV option called Target Tune? Essentially dynamic real time wide band tuning on the fly.

This topic comes up about once a week. I've had Thunder Max on 5 touring bikes, the last were 3 2012 Limiteds, ( 2 I rebuilt that had been wrecked). All my bikes were stage one and they ran great with the Tmax. I thought they were easy to install and auto tune.
It was a small pain to have to install the larger bungs up near the heads for the wide band O2 sensors. I never got good fuel mileage with the Tmax. 35 -40 mpg.

This year we bought a 2015 and 14 limited and I put the Dynojet Power Vision 2 on each bike. The new bikes have Stage one and even with the narrow band O2 sensors I have all the power I need and want. My fuel mileage on back roads under 70 mph is 45 -50 mpg. Just get a close map and auto-tune until you like the results.

I'm hooked on the Power Vision 2,

It's hard to get good mileage when the bike is running good lol.. I have had the pv for 8 months and it was well worth the money for me.. The little bastard does soo much

Power Vision would be my choice and my tuner's at J&B Performance like's the PV over anything on the market, they will tune other tuners such as TTS, SESPT,PV and even the Thunder Max but it's the least favorite of any next to the TTS.

the inclusion of the 50 miles per gallon on any road under 70 is IMHO... couch couch... lets just say, back roads that were down hill.

So a device that richens (basically) and tweaks the AFR at a multitude of parameters improves fuel efficiency. whew...
