From Direct Cycle Parts you can have a Power Vision for $420. Then you have the ability to adjust for almost anything and build as far as you like. You can also download a map that is good for ac and exhaust. You can auto-tune with the stock O2 sensors or add the Pro Auto-tune with wide band O2 sensors. In my opinion (I am using one) they are superior to any other system I have tried. (Thunder-Max, PCV, EMS, Daytona TwinTech) All the other systems worked, just not as well as the Power Vision.

Did that sound like an advertisement?
Nope. Sounds like you have what I have, and sounds to me like input from another satisfied user! I really like my Power Vision. All that being said, the OP could care less what we have if it's not what he's pimping, I'm pretty sure.

I don't understand spending 23k on a bike and then try to take the cheap way out on the tuning. I'm by no means rich and I'm not trying to flame anyone but I believe in you get what you pay for. Buy a good head pipe, some tuned mufflers, and a good high flow air cleaner and then tune it with a reliable product.

I'm just trying to get some information about tuners for possible future purchase. I guess I was being more sarcastic than anything.

It was just the way you said it. For $20 dollars more I would go with the Power Vision.

After trying to learn all I can (Ive had carburetors for many years) and watching video's of the power Vision PV-2, I will be ordering that, new pipes and A/C.
Fuel Moto has them for $479.00 where are they for $420 and is there something different I'm missing for the price difference?

If you go on Direct Cycle Parts and put the PV in your basket the price will be $420. For the extra $60 dollars you get the support of FM which is worth it if you are going do major modifications at some time. Their map file is quite extensive and they have excellent support. If the new pipes and AC is all you are going to do, then buy the cheaper one because you will still have the support of Dynojet which is very good also. Both FM and Dynojet have some maps for the 2014 models.

It is interesting how many suppliers are getting on board providing the latest tuning gizmo, and how many people will exclude the proven ones and try the latest offering.

Those of us that have used SEPST, TTS, PV or Thundermax or dyno time are aware of the amount of maps and cells in each that can be adjusted. we sure are wasting our time when this device does it all.

To believe that any add on plug-in can do this on the fly can do this by just plugging it in for $400 is just amazing.

Exactly!!!! I am a complete idiot on all this stuff but I got my bike with an add on Dobeck the seller raved about. It had crazy hot exhaust heat and pinged like crazy? The canned map I got with PCV from Fuelmoto was terrible. Autotune at least made it ridable. First dyno was pretty good but second one made a nice difference (along with big bore and cams). Going to a PV and redyno (with headwork) to get back closed loop operation. I can't believe guys throw thousand+ into pipes & A/C then won't tune them????

People forget the simple principle of TANSTAAFL.

For me, there's no way I'm going cheap when it comes to monkeying around with the computer that makes the bike run.

Have to disagree with TANSTAAFL. LOL
