Much like everything else I've ran into with this stage 2 upgrade I had problems lol. I had a hell of a time getting the pv3 thing figured out. it was actually the most stressful part pre project, afraid to f up the ecu and getting it wrong. pre project I spoke often with CraigB1960 about what works best. would be easiest to tune and get results. that is exactly why I got what I got. and he would always respond quickly to our conversation.
when I got the pipes cams and ac installed I messages Craig 10 my time, 8 his and said I put in the request in with fuel Moto, he promptly sent me my tunes that night. several times in fact because I couldn't find them.
now the fun part. lol. while trying to upload the tunes last Friday using my MacBook, I didn't do it correctly. for whatever reasons the maps didn't take and ended up needing to reloading stock tune, which was also wrong and the bike wouldn't start. my understanding was the way I took them from email to Mac to pv3 included files from my Mac and jumbled the maps in the process. the bike was essentially a expensive bad ass radio, no turn over no attempting anything mechanically. I simply messaged him after early morning tinkering with it my issues and get at me when he could. around 8 am, 6 am his time and he immediately jumped on my problems offering solutions asking queasiotns trouble shooting and putting my mind at ease. solution was getting my brother over with his pc ( and also him computer knowledge), and having him read our conversations and using windows 10 try again. it was a quick easy process from there on and the bike runs like an animal.
I have 2 tunes to try the first one runs so good. I haven't gotten a chance to put miles on and change and check the other he had sent due to weather and the insanity in the world right now. I may have lost a touch of gas milage... I may alsolike the rumble and the snappy torque to much also haha .
point of the this story is my experience with tuning a bike in 2020. and also a huge thank you and shout out to CraigB. I can't express my gratitude enough. I have explained this to many people out of this forum and said what a valuable resource and just good person to put the effort into this for us. thank you
