    I have the V&H Fuel Pak 3. I did a stage one air cleaner upgrade on my 2017 Street Glide and ran an auto tune. I had a slight hesitation on take off, nothing critical but did want to find out why. Stopped in a parking lot and called the support line at V&H. Technician was really helpful. asked if he could connect to the bike, which I allowed, he downloaded my tune, made changes and uploaded it back to the bike. All while I was in the parking lot. Fixed the hesitation and runs great. Much props to V&H for excellent support. Hope this helps.

      I have a similar story regarding V&H customer service. I like the ability to have a dash display on my bars with any technical data I could want. Also, I auto tune every season off of the base map (Fxdls w/thunderheader) and you can instantly feel the difference after one minute of flashing the new map.

    I had a Dynojet PC5 on my 2011 Road Glide Ultra CVO, and just as you pointed out in the video, it got crushed and damaged under the seat. To Dynojet's credit, they did send me a new unit, but I opted instead to used the Vance and Hines tuner and could not be happier with the results. Great video brother...keep 'em coming!!!

  • @tcatnat70
    @tcatnat70 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Good stuff John, thanks. I did my own stage 1 install and tune on my 2010 FXDC with a PowerVision and it was super simple. That being said the map I loaded was not an exact match and I eventually did a few sessions on autotune to smooth it out a bit. I did do the PC hookup thing and immediately realized this was way over my head so I never did any manual tuning that way. My current FLHR came with a stage 1 and FP3 already set up. The bike runs pretty smooth and I have considered running an autotune but haven't taken the time to do it. Maybe you just gave me the kick in the a$$ I needed.

  • @Doucettedon
    @Doucettedon 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’ve had my powervision since 2011 when I purchased my FLHTFB. My bike was way too lean was plagued with pretty nasty decel pops and ran so hot the rear cylinder was constantly shutting off. I installed V&H short shots and a Ness big sucker, fired up the dynovision and fattened up the AFR a bit and although my fuel efficiency suffered a bit as expected the ride ability issues are gone and the bike hauls ass. Now I intend to install the target tune and a Barnett Scorpion clutch as the stock clutch leaves a lot to be desired. Great vid man, thanks, good luck with the new shop.

    I know it’s not the best tuner for a variety of reasons but I’ve been really happy with the results using the FP3 on my 2015 Limited and 2013 Sportster 72. Both have only Stage 1 mods. Love it!

  • @saddle8bag
    @saddle8bag 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Regular tuners aren't actually closed loop. A narrowband sensor only tells you if you are running above or below stoich and makes a slight adjustment to a base open loop map.
    A wide band sensor can detect the actual O2 in the exhaust and run a closed loop equation to keep the AFRs near spot on in any condition. No open loop map required. Though the closed loop function runs kinda slow so it's often handy to have an auto tuner spit out open loop base map coefficients and let it run that way if you aren't planning a ride from Death Valley to the top of Yosemite during your ride.

    Two of my Harleys, Twin Cams, use the FP3 and the other uses the Screamin Eagle. Yep, warranty issues with the Road King with M8.
    The FP3 is superior but if I were doing it again I would spend the extra and get the Power Vision. The user friendly nature of it and the high quality you just
    can't ignore. You get what you pay for!

    Thanks, John. Great info as always. You're the best HD tech dude on TH-cam in my book. Just now you probably saved me the expense of a tuner, since the '18 FLHTKL is under extended warranty. Don't think I'll piss away $ on a tuner just now since I don't ride hard anyway. No sense in flagging the warranty first time I take it in for service. Thanks again for the good sense advice -

    As for the T-Max ECM, mine works very well and it does give full access to all the codes and programming fobs and transport mode is all the same as stock. Best part is, your bike is running rich and giving all the HP possible! No EPA shit here!

      I have yet to see a dynograph of an FP3 tune that looks anything like a half decent curve. Each and everyone I've come across are absolutely horrible, with torque dips right in the range most people ride of up to 30 ft-lb. That's over 30% less power than the engine should/could be making with a solid tuner like the Dynojet PV2, TTS, or T-Max.

  • @lancmac
    @lancmac 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a VH3 tuner on my 16... Love it.. It tunes itself ... Select your bike by model and VIN and then your changes from stock. It uploads a map and then when you ride it it does the modifications as needed from the canned map, like doing it on a dyno but on a ride. You can keep it in learning mode for an hour or months... After that you can leave it learning or hit save and remove the unit.. The app will let you see all the engine perimeters while riding easily on your phone. If you have to go back to the dealer reload your stock map and remove the unit.... All back like stock. After service reload your modified map and ride on...

    I installed the FuelPak and the BEST feature of this is the throttle control. I set it to Moderate and a year later it is the best upgrade on my bike. I've rode in a club and we would ride hard, I'd have to throw my wrist back taking off and still not be fast enough at times. Being able to turn my wrist half as much but get the same acceleration is amazing. There is an aggressive and 1:1 setting as well, which I haven't tried but my concern is tickets. Even with moderate sometimes I speed faster than I'm thinking I'm going because how little I have to turn my wrist.

    So I just called Zippers performance who are the major distributor for the thunder max and they said that all you should have to do is plug the stock ecm in to do any of the security fobs and other things you mentioned you couldn’t do with the thundermax. Zippers is local to me hence why I wanted to know if there would be a problem with the security system stuff as the thundermax is what I will likely go with.

    • @newbelgium4
      @newbelgium4 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      chargerman426 Thunder Max is a great product and will allow you to tune any option available. The one problem is it replaces your ecm. If you swap back to stock ecm, you have a stock tune because your Thunder Max ecm isn’t installed. Talk to Jaime at Fuel Moto. He doesn’t have a dog in the fight and sells both, the Power Vision and the Thunder Max. Also,they sell cheaper than the manufacturer on both.

    @bane1240 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have tried all 3 of these and the PV is the clear winner IMO, mainly bcuz I have more than 1 bike so it only cost me $199 for additional license to tune/auto tune from the same main PV unit. The FP3 was what I wanted to use on my 18LTD but unfortunately it failed and V&H had to send me a new one. With COVID19, I couldn’t wait any longer and contacted DynoJet and they sent me a tune file in email in less than a day and all is well. V&H did eventually send me a replacement FP3 but I dont need 2 tuners so I sold it.

  • @gphilpot1
    @gphilpot1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Also worth noting, the Power Vision has to run the Autotune cycle three times to more accurately adjust the cells when using the Narrow Band O2 sensors. DynoJet will only make incremental Cell adjustment each Autotune session to prevent damage to the bike by adjusting too much too quickly.

Engine temps, intake temps, Rpm, gear, fuel economy, injector duty cycle, throttle position, and on and on. you can do things like decel pop And trouble codes and all kind of cool stuff. I’m super happy with it.

    Surprised no mention of tts mastertune... its basically a seprt on steroids with no epa restrictions. Steve Cole is the creator of tts and the early sert's were made by him. Steve wanted to make the serts more robust and epa free and Harley didn't so they parted ways.
    For the warranty side of things get a third party extended warranty. It will cover more options, cost less and aftermarket items like tuners won't void the warranty.
    Also there's been alot of issues with power vision and the screen blanking out. Fuel moto and dynojet are aware of this but nothing has been addressed yet to fix it.

    John, you got my attention with this session. I ride an '06 FLHTC-I with the 103 SE upgrade, the 9:1 SE heads, SE 253 cams, and a roller top end. I put on Reinhart (sp?) True Dual pipes, then installed that ThunderMax ECM kit. Tossed the program on a little notebook, then dialed in one of the auto-tune selections closest to my set-up. Wasn't long b4 T-Max dropped off the planet, as seen with 7 year and older TH-cam vids, nothing newer. I don't even know if they exist and can support the system any more. I take the OEM unit along on long rides, with its cabling, kind of a PITA. So, my dilemma, caused entirely by you and your video 😢, is whether to just return to the OEM ECM and pop for the Dyno unit, your favorite, which doesn't require a WiFi connection for my phone like the V&H unit. Kinda makes sense for the road, and the possibility the T-Max takes a dump in the Plains 2,000 miles from my shop, and replacements are defunct. Make sense to you?? Thanks, btw. Just jacking w/you, it was a helpful vid.

    Hey John, what are your thoughts on the Master Tuner by TTS? Ever play around with them?
    My understanding is, at one time, TTS made the Screamin Eagle tuner for The Motor Company. It was about the time H-D got their Dick stomped on by the EPA, H-D and TTS went their separate ways. TTS wanted to ADD to the ability the Screamin Eagle Tuner had and H-D said NO! H-D wanted to remove some of what was currently on the Screamin Eagle Tuner.
    Here is the link to the TTS Master Tuner: mastertune.net/products_mastertune.html
    The H-D Dealer I use has a Technician who builds and tunes H-D Drag Bikes, Strip not Street Drag Bikes! With a little “Magic”, he was able to get 101hp and 118ftlbs out of my slightly modified 103 Twin Cam! His “Magic” made my bike perform and sound GREAT! Next time we are shooting for 150hp 150ftlbs!

TTS could never keep up with demand for SERTs...always on BO..limited quantities to dealers because of supply. This went on for many years...we assumed that's why H-D went to the Super Tuner from a diff vendor (Kent Moore), never an availability prob since.. Steve (TTS) must have covered his butt well about non-competing...cause they came out with the MasterTune shortly after Harley dropped them.

    John, you are dead on that Power Vision is a great option. This unit has saved me thousands being able to read bike sensors on the fly. I have created a few videos using it to figure out why my bike was going into limp mode. I was able to watch the twist grip voltage and compare it to the carb butterfly position voltage. Recently I used it to diagnose what my battery voltage was compared to the regulator voltage.
    Lately I started using the Data Log feature to monitor what the bike was doing as I drove it.
    Best of all, DynoJet opens this tuner up to configure just about anything on their PC program.
    Love it and brag on it all the time. Single handedly the best tool for Harley's.
