Gauge Settings (PV)

I just received my Power Vision and I was playing around with the Gauge setups. My question is, what would be a good setting for the Engine Temp. High Limit and also a good setting for the Engine Temp. High Warning? I'm not real sure what the engine temp operating range is or should be and when I should be concerned with high temps. The bike is an '11 Road King Classic, 103, S&S Stealth A/C, Decatted Header Pipe, Fuel Moto Full Sized X-Over Pipe, Screamin' Eagle Slip-ons, and a Fuel Moto Tune (supplied with PV).

I wouldnt monitor it at all. You'll just become a freak. (you're almost there since you have expressed a desire to monitor it)

Good Point, once you know what's really going on in that air cooled Massey Ferguson, you'll never rest peacefully again.

At 315°F the bike will go into parade mode and only the rear cylinder will be running. That is a place start maybe.

I mostly run my PV in the trip meter area, this way I know my mileage, how much fuel I burned and my economy mph
The only one thing I'd run the gauge setting for is oil temp, but they don't have it...

Thanks for the info on parade mode, that does sound like a good place to start. I was just sitting on the couch with it plugged into the computer and figured I would go ahead and tinker with the gauges and settings (bored really). I won't leave it on the bike very long, just long enough to get some baseline gauge readings and run a few auto tune sessions to really dial it in. Got out and reflashed the bike today and all I can say is WOW, what a difference. The short test ride was a night and day difference. Thanks to Fuel Moto for a good product/tune.
