I got my FM setup yesterday and installed it all this morning. Wow!!!
The bike runs flawlessly and with lots of power. 0to80 in no time. EEHA.
It was real simple to install. The biggest PITA was the TB support screws. Used a small Allen wrench to get them out. There is no decel pop or accel hisitation. Fuel Moto guys are on it!!!

I should've mentioned that you can do the settings with the engine running, but I don't like revving the engine in neutral with no load on it.

I will be checking and setting if necessary the throttle position first chance I get. Thanks again for the heads up.

No problem at all. BTW, I'm in BR and the weather looks good for tomorrow. Should be the same in Monroe. When we talk of "crappy weather" the guys in the frozen north enduring record cold will laugh at us. To us "crappy" is a few days of cold and/or rain that keeps us from riding.

I have a PC V question. With the auto tuner, if you add a performance cam, do you need to adjust anything, or will the AT do it all?

I think i need to "re-do" my TP now that the weather has gotten warmer. When i installed it originally i let the bike warm up, but had to do that just letting it run, not riding it. Gonna have to pull the laptop out one of these nights after a little ride and re-zero it!

UPDATE: Here's an update to my situation. I'd emailed Jamie the specifics and called me last night. When I get back home on Saturday, I'm going to upload the new firmware to the unit and we're hoping that will resolve the issue and if not, we'll replace the unit. I'll keep this updated incase others have the same issues down the road.

I just made a cam switch last week and I started with a close map provided by Jamie, then let the bike tune itself. I first established a good rich base map by using Jamie's original target AFR's, then rode the bike for one day through all RPM and TP areas. That established my base map for the bike after selecting "Accept Trims," and I then altered the target AFR's for better gas mileage. The bike has since been auto-tuning as I ride. I can now use my switch to toggle between the richer base map and leaner closed-loop mode.

There is a minor snag, however, in that Dynojet recommends not specifying target AFR's in the 0% column. The problem is that longer-duration cams will fool the MAP sensor into forcing richer-than-normal AFR's in the low-end and midrange. Without going into gory details, which I will later if anyone is interested, I solved these minor issues by making a few adjustments. Those areas with target AFR's take care of themselves.
