FP3 First Impressions

[yegg]

I couldn't believe how easy it was to pop it in, update the phone app, and get the initial programming done. Simply amazing.

The first thing I noticed was a huge decrease in decel pop. It is not gone, but at least 90% gone. I plan on running at least the rest of the tank of gas (currently 1/2 full) before I decide to do the auto tune and dial this guy in.

The second thing I noticed, and keep in mind that I am a new rider, is that when I let off the throttle I do not suddenly lurch forward. It is very much like taking your foot off of the gas pedal in your car.

I do plan on going back and reading more threads on the auto tune process before attempting it. I am still fuzzy on flash vs apply. I understand the difference but not why you would ever take it off of your "learning" mode.

As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will add that to a thread.

Yegg, there is a ton of tuner info here at SGF. Spazz is a master FP3 tuner. Enjoy!

In learning mode the FP3 runs the bike a little out of tune, searching for the optimal settings. If you always run in that mode it will never be the best it can be

Ah ha! Thanks for that clarification. That makes sense.

There is a decel pop adjustment you can pay with....

If you never finish the auto tune, the program won't let you play with other adjustments like speedo calibrator.

I ran a bit with the suggested map and still had a slight pop on deceleration. I made the adjustment and flashed the map. I quick ride out, around, and back into the neighborhood confirmed the pop is gone. I am quite impressed. Now I just need some kind of manual to learn about the seemingly endless other possible adjustments!

I like the fact that you can run auto tune though and apply the settings without finishing and it will keep learning and you can keep applying infinitely!
