True, but after reading different threads and the tuninig manual it seems that what i have to do is go in and "write" all the learned plots to the base map which in turn resets the learning funcrion and it starts over from scratch. If i understand this correctly you should only have to do this a few times as the learning will get the map closer and closer to the optimum level. I also changed the learning ratio from 5% to 10%. My vocab on this subject may not be correct.

yes just link the Tmax while the bike is idling (make sure cable is not on exhaust) then click run automap or click read learned values, then once complete click write map. either way will update the learned values as the new base map. Need to ride about 45 minutes at operating temperature, then shut off the bike, then start bike, link to tmax then do the automap function about 3 times and that will usually get it near perfect.

You might have to back out some of the part throttle timing if you have higher CR than stock.

Just installed mine last week. I bought it used and I having some error code problems, but it's running great. C0131, C0151, C0134, all sensor code errors. Hopefully Zippers can get it straight for me.

I'll look into that, but Zipper's said it auto tunes all the time on it's own.

Yes, this is correct but writing the learned plots to the base map actualy makes a "new" base map thus starting the whole learning process over
