Self learning Ignition modules
Why replace an ECM that works flawlessly?
Get a proper tuner, PV can auto tune, which I agree isn't a dyno tune, but if done right, is frikkin close to a dyno tune, keep the ECM you already have.

For an '05 bike, thundermax is a great option and I love it
It's true that nothing beats a dyno tune

For those who have never used auto tune (I have and just recently removed it), when the weather changes, the tuner changes as well. The difference is noticeable. It usually took the module a few miles to make the adjustments but once that riding period was done, the difference from the beginning of the ride compared to the auto tune adjusted ride is night and day.

To get the auto tune feature usually requires 18mm O2 sensors and I believe your 05 has them. I use Dynojet power Commander stuff in my '03 and '13 fuelies. My '03 does not have bungs so Autotune is not an option. I installed V&H Power Duals for '09 which have the 18mm bungs on my '13. Should I ever get too far away from stock on the '13 I will add the AutoTune to my PC IV. There are better options available
Power Commander Power Vision and Thundermax are some of the newer AutoTune modules and I believe both require using an 18mm wide band O2 sensor.

This statement is false.

I have both a PV on one bike and a tmax on the other. Had PV on both bike but recently divorced one bike in favor of tmax
Both bikes had been dynoed and were making good power. However one bike still had a flat spot down low which the tuner tried his best to mitigate however it just would not go away
Long story short. Tmax overcame issue and bike runs like it should. I've had a PCIII a V and a PV. And have been a dyno fan for years. Tmax only device that corrected my issue to date and this was after extensive dyno time. Trying to dial in PV I can't argue with results.
