Question Tune PCV without autotune

I would like to setup my PCV with a secondary map to provide me with better fuel mileage for highway riding, but could use some help on what values to change, loading a second map, etc. Any insights would be helpful. Thanks to other posts about the PCV, I have found how to wire in the switch to change between the two maps, but could use insight on what RPM/TP% ranges I should modify from the base map to provide improved fuel mileage.
I have read almost all of Iclick's post with the autotune, but am hoping to get similar results (if possible) without autotune.

I'm gonna do the same thing. I got my PCV from Fuel Moto and Jamie said he would e-mail me a fuel mileage map that I can load. If you didn't get yours from FM maybe Dynojet can send you a map.

i think you're going to need the help of the experts. If you bought your PCV from fuel moto, they will be happy to send you another map.

I can manipulate my tune by changing my AFR values at different rpm/throttle settings, and the autotune will then change the fuel cells. I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to just go in and manually change my fuel cells without totally screwing everything up.

Thanks for the help. I will contact Jamie at FuelMoto to get another map sent to me for fuel mileage. I thought that with the PCV and the software that I might be able to just modify the values slightly to improve mileage within the cruising range, but wasn't sure how I would go about that.
I'll get my switch installed and send some pictures when I do. I'm going to use a stock harley toggle on the fairing (have 1 open spot and an extra switch from when I installed my passing lamps). I'm going to use some of the posts here to wire it so the light comes on when the switch is on.

I think you should do a complete write up, including pics, of the install of the switch & wiring to the relay & PCV. That makes things much easier for dummys like me!

Ditto, it would be great to have a PWR/ECO toggle.....

I'll try to remember to take pictures as I get the switch wired in. I'll also keep a parts list of everything that will be needed for the install. I already have a switch (just need to get the "spot" lettering off it). It would be great if I could get PWR/ECO printed on the switch instead.
