Would I be getting out of my league trying to use the TTS? I have zero experience with tuning on my own. I assume there are some base maps to get you started and you can tweak as you go? I'm sure I could learn a lot from some of your all's experience, but I have never tried doing my own tuning at all.
The TTS is a great tuner and can be learned by a novice or go to a good local dyno operator / tuner and have it done.
Ive used the SERT, PCIII, PCV,and now the Power Vision and IMO the Power Vision is the easiest flash tuner to use for a novice. if your really set on doing some tuning work your self the best advice I can give you is call Fuel Moto and talk to Keith of Jamie about your needs and goals. They sell Dyno jet, and TTS and many other tuners, pipes, etc. Their customer serce is great they double the warranty , they can set you up with a good base map and then show you how to run some self tuning runs (data logging) to dial it in.
As an example from my experience using the Power vision , it took 5 minutes after removing the left saddle bag to complete the first time flash with the MAP that Fuel Moto supplied. I ran with this for almost a year and the bike ran great , much cooler, stronger and better mpg than stock or with the dealer stage 1 download. Then Power Vision improved there firmware and can now run data logging and rewrite the MAP on the Power Vision with out any computer needed so I ran a few data logging runs and loaded the new MAP and the bike runs even smoother and slightly more crisp. Took a total of 5 minutes after riding it to get the data, just a coupl "accept" on the Power Vision and flash the ECM.

Why not just get a power commander if you are trying to do all that? I know I know, the warranty issue...blah blah blah. When has the tuner ever affected the warranty on any of these new bikes?....(birds chirping and whistling in the background). AH HA...they haven't (at least I have yet to see any proof). Save yourself the headache and the extra money and just invest in a power commander or a power vision. You will be glad you did.
I am running a 2010 Limited with the Street Tuner , could not be happier , do not miss all the other adjustments available with the different tuners on the market , and I have had them. Do not want to put my bike on a dyno. I have 2-1-2 Fuel Moto ceramic coated catless exhaust, SE slash cut mufflers, SE Intake, bike runs great, night and day difference from stock. No warranty worries. Love it. Mileage is good also.There is an abun
e of different maps you can intechange, check it out on your puter when you get it .That free feel on the throttle difference between your Street Bob could be the throttle by wire changes on the Limited.There were 2 versions of the Street Tuner , make sure your dealership is installing the latest one where you have control in installing your own downloads. Good Luck.
So with the tuner on your bike no dyno required???? Is that a Harley tuner/screaming eagle...is it*auto tune? I am confused..
