I was surprised when that tune "seemed" to be better than my old Tri tune. When I got my old Tri tune, Dyno Jet was still working on their tunes for the wet heads, so it makes sense their newer tunes are much better. Your kind of confirming what I thought. I'd been interested in your future experiences with it. The cool thing is it "travels" well from two to three wheels because of the "0" in the speedometer calibration. Just out of curiosity, how did the speedo cal seem? Or could you even tell?
Just for the group, this tune was made by dyno jet and I did some auto tuning in various conditions. It has "0" in the speedo pulse area, so it doesn't override the speedometer settings in the ECM (If you try to put any number in there with winpv, you can only put numbers 900 or greater and once you change it, you can't go back to 0, you can guess how I know), so the Harley calibration is what you see. After all my efforts to get the speedo right on my old tune, this one seems to be almost dead on out of the box, which means that at least on my bike, Harley got it right.
My advice to people who want a great running Harley (or any other bike the PV supports) and have a Power Vision, start with a tune that is as close as you can get for your configuration (headers, slip ons, air cleaner, etc), and do a couple 20-30 minute auto tune runs in various conditions (city, highway, etc) to "dial it in" to your ride. Dyno Jet spends lots of time and money dialing in their tunes to the "canned bikes" with various exhaust headers, slip ons , air cleaner's and engine mods. When you auto tune, YOU dial it in to your bike and it's supper easy.
I don't know about other retailers (I've only bought 2 PV's from DK Custom Products), but, when you purchase a PV, they ask about your make, model, year, configuration and your PV comes loaded with tunes that are based on that info. You pick the closest tune to your config. It's gonna be good from that point, but, it's great when you dial it in.
The PV also allows you to manually adjust lots of stuff in the tunes with a windows based computer and their winpv software. Should be noted, you should be careful with this if you're a novice, you can mess stuff up ... LOL. There is so much info available with the PV mounted, that you can troubleshoot and monitor your bikes performance.
Is the PV pricey? Maybe, but, compared to buying a tuner, having someone "dyno tune" your bike, not really.
Disclaimer: I know I sound like a commercial for the PV, but, I have no affiliation with Dyno Jet or DK Custom Products. Just someone that has enjoyed two great running Harleys thanks to the PV, Dyno Jet and DK Custom Products.
Sorry for the detour, now back to Kevin and Mary's wild ride ... LOL
