What I learned from Fuel Moto
Men, I learned something today from Bob at Fuel Moto. I want to pass this info on to those with the Power Vision Tuner.
A week or so ago, I programmed and selected several gauges to display of the PV. After 10 minutes or so of riding, the gauges stopped working. I called FM and asked why. Bob asked how I was running the PV and that was the problem.
I routed the wire on the left side of the bike, under the tank and near the spark plugs. This is a problem because the wires are not shielded and while I was riding, the wires were catching interference from the spark plugs.
According to Bob, the gauges weren't able to display properly. He even said, running the wire this way will cause issues with AutoTune basic.
His advice is to run the wire underneath the dash console. That way there will not be any electrical interference.
Hope this information helps some out there.

Thanks kryingame, I did the same thing when I installed new cams and map. I thought I had reduced performance when I ran autotune basic so I put the original map fuelmoto sent me. Thinking i was just doing a temp install for a couple of auto tunes, I ran it on the left side like you near the plug wire. Not touching but close. I will reroute it in the spring and try again.

Actually, Bob said this is a common mistake. They often get folks calling in complaining about this. I guess we're all looking for the easy way to route the wire.
I now have my wire underneath the gas/key console. Took about 2 minutes to do.

I should have been more clear, I felt I had reduced performance after loading the map created during the autotune session.
