i have -50 in the 0 tp column now but havent tested yet due to rain but hope fully test today, Jamie told me to try -15 ten lower settings down to -50 if that doesnt work try +settings.
i am soon thinking get rid of the PCV and go back to my PCIII. which i had no issues, just wanted to add autotune later.

The muffler to pipe is sealed with copper anti-sieze on both bikes. If I put any more sealer in there it would be ozzing out. I've even replaced the header gaskets with new ones. Every thing is torqued to spec. I've even smoke tested it at the mufflers and head connections.

Well, AT won't likely fix the decel-pop issues, as DynoJet advises us not to use any Target AFR's in the 0% column. When you zero these values it uses the base map for those cells, so it's working like a PCV alone in those locations. Now, if someone comes back and says adding AT fixed their popping problem I'll really be confused.

iclick, you are exactly right. "Oh, that I had read your post before yesterday!" I've got an 09 Ultra and that last statement in the PC-V instructions about "don't do this if you have TBW" didn't click in my brain till it was too late.
I sent Jamie an email Sunday evening expecting an answer on Tuesday. Amazingly, he answered within 3 minutes at 8PM on a Sunday night. I've never experienced customer service like that anywhere!

In future software versions I think they should prompt you after hitting the Reset button with a warning not to go forward on TBW bikes. Just an "Are you sure you want to reset...." and explaining why would be sufficient to stop most of these mistakes. If the PCV software knew if it is attached to a TBW bike it could make the decision for you.

He asked me to call him on Tuesday for the numbers. I'll let you know what I learn.

my 08 sg pops a little on deceleration but not enough to annoy me, the canned map from fuelmoto is pretty close to ideal for my type of riding. great information in here, thanks guys.
