Power Vison or FP3? Best Tuner for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

[@GixxerFoo]

Two very capable tuners but they do things way different, which one would you choose?

[@kenporick1]

2 things...1) you didn't cover PV AUTOTUNE and how easy THAT is...2) you didn't mention that you can REMOVE THE PV DEVICE, ONCE YOU COMPLETE THE AUTOTUNE...no more stealthy than that...plus any upgrades you make (cam, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, stage 4, whatever), just hook the PV back up and run AUTOTUNE again...AND, IMHO Fuel Pak is the more cumbersome of the two, i.e.,depending on a blue tooth connection (which can break down) on my phone or tablet, and depending on Vance and Hines' servers for my maps, versus the PV hardwired device (which utilizes a simple touch screen menu), and a solid windows program (32 or 64 bit)...plus, you can buy licenses for all the bikes you own and AUTOTUNE them all! Or, you take it to a dyno tuner or harley shop, and let them do it for $500-600...or save the money and do it yourself w/ PV AUTOTUNE...

[@GixxerFoo]

I have had connectivity issues myself with the bluetooth on the FP3, I use a Power Vision on the Vrod and it works great on that bike. The PV took a little more getting used to and it's a more professional tuner in my opinion. Your right though, the Power Vision has a lot more versatility going to the Dyno and from what I have seen not many shops have jumped on board with the Fuel Pak Pro to tune someone with an FP3.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Screaming Eagle Auto Tune Pro

[@GixxerFoo]

That's a pretty nice tuner, it should work with any map and not just the Screamin Eagle Street Tuner.

[@gdubbsmotolife9713]

PV is a far more capable device. No question.

[@davidmurray9193]

My understanding fp3 and fp4 can only do stage 1, where as the dyno can be used through out i want to put some bassini radials on at some point, but next year i want to do the stage 2, still working out which to go for

[@GixxerFoo]

FP3 did have some maps for certain cams, you could manually enter the intake valve opening and closing time for any cam and then auto tune with the FP3 for cams they did not have a canned map for. I am not 100% sure if that's still true on the FP4. I would go with a Power Vision 3 while you can still get them.

[@ahmedkiran570]

Power vision is the best money I have spent on the bike. With the wide band 02 sensors And all the mods I have done Took me a while to get the tune perfect but I'm very happy and would definitely recommend the power vision over any other product on the market.

[@GixxerFoo]

I really like that Power Vision, l tuned my dad's Vrod with one. They are definitely worth the money, especially the wide band kit.

[@tagsdm]

Well, I had the Power Vision on my stock-except-for -mufflers 2016 103 FXDB, and it was great for 5 years until a month or so ago when it simply stopped working. The map was still working, but the unit would not respond. Dyno-Jet tried to fix it digitally, but it would not update or anything else. Then they wanted me to "retire" (their word) the unit to them with $300 for a new one. But now I don't trust it, so I opted for the V&H FP3. I really liked the Power Vision and was greatly disappointed when it stopped responding. So far, the V&H is doing fine.

[@GixxerFoo]

300 bucks and they would give you a new one after 5 years, that's not too bad of a deal. I like the FP3 personally, if you're not going to a dyno it's a great unit for exhaust, air cleaner and even a cam. I've had mine on my for 6 years and it's been awesome, I leave it on the bike so I can switch maps or make changes as needed.

[@tagsdm]

@@GixxerFoo Yep, $3oo and trade-in for a new unit. It did seem pretty fair, but I had the opportunity to go for the V&H so I went that route. I'd still recommend the PV, hoping mine was just an unfortunate glitch. The map they provided is great. My Street Bob runs %100 better with no decel pop. Pulls like an Army mule, no complaints. Great channel, BTW.

[@toddbaa]

In todays market. $50 more for PV over FP3 is worth it! I prefer TTS Mastertune. as does my dynotuner. If U can afford the xtra $2-300 for dyno, do it. My Tuner spends 3+ hours and dials in and optimizes tune in every gear on the dyno. Autotuning a pv/fp3 with canned map on the street will get u close but never 100%. Dyno's represent street conditions to tune w/o getting tickets/hurt/traffic. Trust me, tuning 3rd gear at high rpm and 100+ mph is easier in a controlled environment vs being on the street. be safe, eyes open and rubber side down out there.

[@GixxerFoo]

No doubt dyno is hands down the way to go! They sold a lot of FuelPaks when the Power Vision was 550 bucks since they were cheaper. TTS is a really awesome product for dyno use, it's definetely designed for the professional.

That's very true, l have actually duplicated my phone and tablet screen on the computer to use a mouse and keyboard. It can be done, a lot of negative you hear about the FP3 is from places highly invested in Power Vision.

I purchased the v&h . It lasted maybe 4 days . At that point my bike would not idle below 18 to 1900 . it would shut the bike off while i was going down the highway . So i put a text into v&h , they just told me [ with out asking a single question ] it was the bike,s fault . the only way to get it home was to remove it from my bike . and when i did , the bike ran as it should with a stock tune . their response to this was " F off '' basically .The worst customer service i have EVER had !!! I went to the powervision . great choice ! works flawless !!!

[@jackx4767]

Tried FP3 on my 07 Sportster when I began to make it into a bobber. The unit refused to work as it couldn’t recognize the o2 sensors cause the exhaust pipes I had made were so short. Installed PowerVision and worked fine. Recognized the o2 sensors and was able to tune it using the auto tuner feature. Had to do some fine tuning due to air/fuel ratio being off a little but PowerVision auto tune was close. Plan on replacing the tuner on my 06 ultra classic with the PowerVision efi kit.

[@GixxerFoo]

The FP3 works pretty well on mostly stock to stage 1 with a cam, but you can't beat the power vision. It takes a bit more getting used to the menus but it's the better product.

[@blakeumthun8128]

I ran an FP3 on my 09 Heritage. Arlen Ness Big Sucker and V&H Big Shots. Plugged in the canned map and ran a couple of autotune sessions, like Mitch Aldrich did. I had great results!! The difference I had was, I never had any issues with the autotune and never needed to contact V&H. At the time, the FP3 was exactly what I needed, knowing I was never going to go any further with my setup. I did love the blue tooth part of it... just mount the phone to the bars ang get real time feedback. Now, if I were to buy another injected bike, the PV is where I would go. But the next one will probably get upgraded over time.

[@GixxerFoo]

I've had really good results with the FP3 myself too, where the FP3 falls short is not having an option for the PC software. Next time around I will likely go with a Power Vision, you get more functionality but it is a bit more difficult to use.

[@paulburris6136]

I have a 05 flhtcui Harley Davidson and a 09 883 that I have the dynojet turner in both the bikes and I just love how they have improved the power of the bikes.

A good map makes all the difference, those stock maps are just so lean and make the bikes run awful.

[@dekota_308]

If going to stage 1 or 2, I'd go with the FP3. If you're going to stage 3 or 4, I'd go PV. Great video gixxerfoo.

I use the FP3 Vance & Hines And found it to work very well I love being able to tune on the fly from my smartphone. I have a lot of power with very little problems. Have an 09FLHTCU with 2 × 1 Exhaust And a high flow K&N filter

[@GixxerFoo]

The Fp3 is just as capable as the Power Vision, it really just needs a PC based software program. I really like the Vance & Hines maps, they did an awesome job developing them.

Right, that's a huge issue right now. Failures are rare, possible of course but it's very reliable.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

It's actually pretty easy to install an auto tuner onto your motorcycle. Most aftermarket pipes are already fitted for wide band o2 sensors.

[@GixxerFoo]

That's a great benefit of after market exhaust, they make it easy to install wide bands. Stock headers you have to tap your existing ports of have bungs welded in.

[@ironpug42]

So if you don't have wide band 02 senors the Power Vison will correct for that ????

[@ccollins9981]

My 2 cents...Even if you don't plan on going past the stage one the additional gauge packages in the power vision where you can view up to six different parameters full-time on your handlebars make it more than worth any cost offset. When I installed my power vision I found out my speedo was 4 mph offso I only use the digital version it provides now. I get to look at gear indicator actual engine temp tachometer battery voltage fuel economy etc or anything else I want on gauges while I'm riding. Even just the speedo up there it beats having to look down at my tank to know how fast I'm going. I'm sorry but the FP3 doesn't come close even before you consider adding cams which you need the power vision Auto-Tune function for anyway unless you want to keep making visits to a dyno.

[@GixxerFoo]

You can use the FP3 for gauges but you have to use your phone, it gets old in a hurry too. I do like the software program that come with the PV and now it's not 200 bucks more than a FP3. You can get a PV for maybe 50 bucks more than the FP3.

[@gdubbsmotolife9713]

Absolutely LOVE my PV. It can do absolutely anything a guy could need when tuning a moto. FP3 will work fine if all you want to do is run a slightly improved canned map.

[@GixxerFoo]

I've had good luck with my PV on the Vrod, learning curve was a bit more than on the FP3. Much easier to just email tunes or put them on a thumb drive.

[@seanharrison6120]

Did you have to buy a new license or something to use the PV on two bikes?

I heard that the FP3 can only be good for stage 1. Can they power vision 3 do more than stage 1? Like changing cams and big bore kits?

[@robbaar7035]

Also with Power Vision you can add additional bikes for just $200.

[@jamessmoth8683]

Down side of power vision pv-1, pv-2 I'd the software is windows only. So Apple users would need to be able to dual boot to use it. There is now a power vision 4 that is app based and works with phones and tablets like the FP3

Nice vid ..... definitely some haters on the FP3. My last bike I had the PV. It was nice and in my opinion, never really needed the PC to use it. Every bike I have had, I never did past a stage 1. I just ordered the FP3 today. I like the fact that i can have it on my phone on the bike running with blue tooth. From what I have learned, I do feel the PV is probably more capable - and no question when you need a bike tuned on a dyno - but for me, and most everyone else - the FP3 is probably the most user friendly and does more than what most people need it to do.

[@GixxerFoo]

The Power Vision is an excellent unit, the FP3 can perform all the same functions albeit more difficult doing it with a touch screen. I've had both and for day to day I like the FP3, but for serious engine builds Power Vision is the way to go.

If you have a Fuel Pak you can view the current map, that will tell if you if it's been tuned or not. Best way to tell at a quick glance is if the middle of the map is lower than 14.7 afr, something down around 14.4 in the cruise range is quick way to tell.

Where did you buy it at? If you bought from FuelMoto they will send you a map based on your setup. DynoJet has some maps on their website that might better fit your setup. If it's just stock or a stage 1 setup I go with the map it gives you for the 103 and then run auto tune sessions to dial it in to your setup.

Purchased my bike from a Harley dealer and I think it has a cam but the only way I could check is to go into the.. I thought that the power vision does auto-tune and could figure out a proper tune AF R

[@GixxerFoo]

The AFR is set within the map already, the autotune is done with the narrow band sensors so it's not exactly perfect. The autotune adjusts the VE tables for the cylinders. The Volumetric Efficiency is basically how much air is entering the cylinders at a given throttle position and the fuel is adjusted accordingly for the cell within the map table to meet the AFR goal.

[@ihatesjws1188]

Once you have completed Autotune basic, and corrected the VE tables you can manually change the AFR tables to fit your needs. Can also purchase Autotune pro and make adjustments to the wide open throttle portion of the map.

​@@paulhorvath9784 I know I'm 4 months late; but yes it did fix the weird throttle response, and there is also adjustments you can make to throttle progressivity if you wish.

[@GixxerFoo]

Since you plan on going further than just the cam, you'd be better off with the Power Vision. FP3 can do it, but they don't have the software program that the Power Vision has. Plus finding a Dyno Tuner that has invested in the Fuel Pak Pro to be able to use the FP3 on their dyno is tough. With the Power Vision most companies will email you a base map for the big bore kit which you can load into the Power Vision and flash the map. With the FP3 they will send you pages of specs and you have to enter that manually on your phone. This is very risky, you mess up a number and it can cost the motor. Plus with Power Vision finding a dyno tuner to get your bike dialed in is very easy, most shops fully support Power Vison.

What’s the importance of having the bike dyno tuned if you can real world tune the bike with the fp3 pro wide band kit?

[@cptdenny007]

I’ve used my FP3 on my 2015 Harley Road Glide CVO for the last 95K miles. I’ve had two cam changes since new. The Andrews 57h cams was on the FP3 menu of cams. With auto tune you can feel the difference in my then stock 110 engine. Last month my 2nd cam chain tensioner failed. Being that my bike would be at the dealer waiting on parts I decided to upgrade my bike to a stage 4 117 kit from HD. My dealer and their mechanic claimed they wouldn’t be able to tune my bike with my FP3 tuner. During this pandemic parts and tuners were are back order. So I relented and got the Screaming Eagle tuner. Once my bike was returned to me, the idle was running very rough. The mechanic stated it was due to my OEM pipes & exhaust and suggested a new exhaust system was needed. Being pissed for not telling me this while my build was being done, I went down the road to an independent. He ordered a V&H 4 1/2” Hi output exhaust and head pipes. He too claimed it would be very difficult to tune my build using my FP3 tuner. So I paid another $200 for a PV2 license to work on his tuner. Got my bike back the next day and was disappointed. The idle was slightly better however riding down the interstate power was lacking in 4th to 6th gear. I now rode directly home, hooked up my FP3 tuner and phoned V&H for advice and remedy. Over the phone the V&H tech jotted down the 259e cams, the exhaust system, the 58mm throttle body , etc. after a few minutes he downloaded the exact map I needed and talked me through the process of flashing this new map. Then he told me there was no need to auto tune. This all took about 15 minutes. I started the bike up and the idle was smooth. Pleasantly surprised I went on my test ride, wow! My bike was running as good as when it was new but with far more power in all the gears. So the answer to the question can an FP3 tune a Stage 4 117” build? The answer is YES! I got a refund back from my dealer on the Screaming Eagle tuner. I’m still working on getting a refund from my independent.

[@GixxerFoo]

That's awesome to hear! Vance and Hines has certainly done their homework in creating maps for almost all combinations. I am really happy to hear that you got a great tune with the FP3, that new Screamin Eagle Street Tuner is just too lean with AFR being a EPA tuner. I am really glad the refinded you on that, which they should of after installing a 117 kit.

[@tonyl8314]

I recently purchased a 2020 Harley Heritage 114. It came stock with hi flow air cleaner. I just put on a set of Screaming Eagle Street Cannon Mufflers. They are very close to stock. I haven't added any tuner as of yet however I want to add a Power vision once my warranty is up. Do you think by adding the SE pipes it would have further leaned the bike out at this point without a tuner? I don't want to void my warranty however if you feel the bike may be lean without a tuner I will defer to your judgment and take my chance on the warranty.

[@GixxerFoo]

Since you went with the Screamin Eagle exhaust l wouldn't be too worried about it. You have the 114 and it was tuned for the high flow air cleaner at the factory, the exhaust you added is pretty close to factory so the fuel trim should take care of the added exhaust flow. If you go with something aftermarket that is wide open and free flowing without the catalytic converter then you'd definently want to tune it. Do you have any decel pop?

[@tonyl8314]

@@GixxerFoo Thank you for the response. No I don't have any decel pop. I was thinking of adding the PVCX stock improved but don't want the warranty voided. I wonder if I needed to bring it in for warranty work and shot the stock tune back in if they would be able to tell ?

[@tonyl8314]

You can disregard this question. I was just advised by a tech at Fuel Moto that Harley would be able to tell you at one point altered the ECU even if you were to go back to stock. As of about a year ago Harley has obtained a program which will fingerprint the number of times the ecu has been gone into and altered even though a custome tune was fully removed and returned to stock. Oh well...just have to wait until the warranty is up.

[@GixxerFoo]

@@tonyl8314 Yeah even if you have a good dealer when I bike comes in for service and they hook it up to Digital Technician it sends that data straight to Harley, even they don't have control over that.

A guy I ride with had our local dealer install a full Rinehart Exhaust on his new Street Glide Special, they tuned it with the street tuner and good to go.

That's exactly it, it doesn't void the entire warranty like a lot of people think. Yeah you don't want to go messing around outside of the canned map if you don't know what you're doing.

The FP3 is a good tuner, it just has draw backs like dyno tuning. It's impossible to get a dyno tune without you providing or the tuner having the $700 FuelPak pro add on which allows your Fp3 to be used. The FP3 is a great tuner for air cleaner, exhaust and maybe later a cam. You'd have to plan to not ever dyno tune the bike to use the FP3, a much better investment is the Power Vision tuner. Power Vision is like Visa, it's accepted at dyno tuners everywhere and that's almost the standard for dyno tuning.

They do add fuel to the bike, but they do it in all the right places where the bike runs super lean. Depending on how you ride you're fuel economy will go up and down a bit.

What are your thoughts on SE Smart Tune Pro with Pro Street tuner? Does it compare to Thundermax? What's the benefit/concerns vs FP3 or Power vision? Thanks

[@GixxerFoo]

The SE Smart Tune works with the Street Tuner and it keeps your bike running at the very lean AFR ratios. The ThunderMax is a much better option for a cooler operation of the engine and more power. ThunderMax is well worth the extra money, if you're looking for going with a wide band sensor setup. FP3 is very easy to use, l think it's excellent if you plan on doing only exhaust and an air cleaner, adding a cam later on. The FP3 is just as capable as the Power Vision. But there's not a lot of Dyno Tuner support out there. You'll be hard pressed to find a tuner that can tune with an FP3 meaning they haven't or won't invest in the FuelPakPro unit for a Dyno. Power Vision is the way to going you plan on doing some engine work. Big bore kits, head work, really serious internals. It's much more supported by all the major aftermarket component manufacturers. Being if you buy a big bore kit from S&S, they will email you a tune file for your Power Vision. It's much easier to get tuned on a Duno if you already have the unit.

The TW-222 is on the list of camshafts within the FP3, I really like that since those maps have been developed with that cam in the motor by Vance & Hines.

My Sportster came with a Master tune Efi tuning kit. How's that compared to other tuning kits.

[@GixxerFoo]

Honestly all the flash tuners do the exact same job, there's nothing better more else from one to the other about how they tune the bike. Canned maps may be a bit better from one manufacturer to the other but in the end it all comes down to the person running the dyno. When it comes to flash tuners it really comes down to which interface you prefer and the PC software they use. For the deceleration popping you might have a little bit of fuel added on the deceleration, that would help with that a bit.

Great explanation!! Do you have any thoughts on aircleaners with the External Breathing System (no dirty air back into the motor) like the ones DK customs offer for example VS no EBS? According to the DK custom site that would be all the other aircleaners except for 2 other brands. I just got my XL1200 Roadster and would like to change air intake but I’m not experienced with this subject. Would a K&N filter in stockhousing be pretty much as good as a cleaner with EBS? How serious would the harm be to your engine without EBS? Really looking forward on some more information on that!

[@John-fc7lm]

Found you’re other video about it! Great video, keep it up!

[@GixxerFoo]

If you can route the breather system out of the motor I would do it, DK customs offers one of the technically illegal air cleaners lol. Pretty much all other brands you have to modify them yourself since they are EPA compliant and recirculate the crankcase breather into the motor. I have a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather and it takes some doing to reroute the crankcase breather to atmosphere. You might look at Hammer Performance's air cleaners, they are setup to vent the crankcase to atmosphere too. The stock air box is very restrictive, even with a K&N filter in the stock air box and it would still be recirculating the crankcase breather into the motor. You'll want something with an open back plate if you want to reuse the stock air cleaner cover. Pretty much either Hammer or DK customs unless you want to modify the air cleaner to vent to atmosphere.

The longer you ride and the more variations of rpm and throttle the better. I'd say run it for an hour and apply the changes, then continue to work on it for another hour. If it needs more work just auto tune the same map again. You just need a 20 minutes at a minimum to get enough data for a tune, so the longer the better.

[@berkesd]

With the power vision it isn't how long you ride it's the process of getting enough hits in each cell of the auto tune screen so it can re calibrate all rideable areas of the map. You could ride for days at one speed and get almost nothing tuned.

My only Harley is the one I own, a 2007 1200 custom Sportster, rubber mounted, fuel injected. It's been a long time since I rode a rigid Mount Sportster, I wonder if I'm missing something. My question is, what are the advantages to a pre 2004 carbureted, rigid mounted Sportster. I'm thinking they're going to be many pounds lighter and probably the one you want to drag race with..... Rigid mounted sportsters are really inexpensive right now and maybe a good project bike at this point. Any thoughts????

[@GixxerFoo]

The chassis of a rubber mount is supposed to be 120% more rigid but the solid mount bikes are lighter. The rubber mount had a lot of great updates like larger cooling fins on the heads and cylinders, oil squirters under the pistons. The biggest draw back to performance on the rigid mounts is the heads, they are not good for performance in any way. You'd want to have those ported and worked over or swapped out for some 04 or newer heads. That's always going to be the turd in the punch bowl on those bikes that will hold the performance back. The rigid mounts are very reliable bikes and they are going really cheap which leaves a lot room to upgrade on those bikes. If you're interested in a project bike to customize they are a great place to start, racing them the rigid mount is the way to go. But if you're doing a performance upgrade just make sure to address the heads.

[@jeffreyness9741]

I really like my Sportster and I've had for about 6 years. I have a Royal Enfield and a street fighter 250 Honda scooter, of all things. I was going to sell my Sportster maybe 2 years ago but everyone that was interested in buying it wear a holes. I just wish it wasn't so heavy. The most dangerous time on my Sportster is backing out of the garage and doing a five-point turn to get it pointed toward the street. My cousin suggested that I was a Pu**y for having crash bars. I told him if I drop this bike on the left it's going to probably do all kinds of damage to my transmission and I won't be able to ride it home so why not get a $200 crash bar ??
