No offense but with a stage 1/w cams setup what do you think you'll acheive with the rev-extend anyway?? Those cams are done long before that... That's the tuners fault?? What difference what the tach says.....

Let me start by saying I was in NO WAY shape or form knocking FUEL MOTO, they have always done me and my buddies right. Having said that my bitch was that my ghetto *** "tuner" is apparently not letting my tach tell me rpm's above 5000, I know it's not a crotch rocket but I ride hard! I don't constantly ride above really over 4000 but when I do I wanna know what's going on with everything & I can't see the rpm's above 5000..... get it? Ya I was skeptical of a piggy back controller as well, but my budget at the time would only allow the PC-V w AT as opposed to paying $850 at a stealer and everytime I would've changed something a $200 re-dyno fee.... Instead with this system I figured Jamie could just shoot me a new map.... Understand???

You still made the right decision...Just pony up the $200 for the download or sell the PC-V and get the PV to work with your autotuner.

I have the Revolution tuner. Awesome product. I have even changed pipes and headers. Let the bike warm up, then rode away. You can find them for $600 if you look. Makes them a pretty good deal if you ask me.

That is why I will keep my 07, it is not all that complicated.

Definately!!! That would be my choice, or a THUNDERMAX but we'll see where the road takes me as usual.... It's good to see new products coming out like this that do what they're supposed to!!! **** when I bought that 08 my options were kinda limited, today geez there's a ton more choices. And ya the pre-08's were a little less complicated but the TBW is nice & clean too...

The Thundermax has it's little issues as well, intermittent dead gauges (bike still runs but the gauges are all dead, fuel, speedo, tach...all of them), many have problems getting the miles to empty to work, 6th gear light, maybe more but those come to mind.
I will have to look into the Revoloution Tuner, I think they all have something to complain about.
