Vance & Hines FP3 Fuelpak Autotune Beginning To End On My Harley Davidson

This video is about running a Full Autotune with the Vance & Hines FP3 Fuelpack on my 2019 Harley Davidson Iron 1200 Sportster. I hope you enjoy the video and it helps you out. Please check my channel out and Subscribe!!!!! and like my videos!!!!

[@dominickd7185]

I appreciate you making this video. I’ve had the FP3 for almost a year and haven’t used auto tune out of fear. This video took those fears away and once the weather is good I’m going for it. Thanks for the good video.

[@bakedbeanz4510]

So what did ya use? Pre tuned maps?

[@floridapatriot9776]

Excellent video on the FP3 auto tune Carl. I couldn't wait I just ordered my stage 1. Cobra 909 Speedster exhaust, Arlen Ness Big Sucker air cleaner, and Vance & Hines FP3 tuner. I can't wait to install it all. I also adjusted my suspension for my weight and it makes a huge difference. Thanks for the video. 👍

I’ve been riding for 2 years but didn’t have the nerve to try the Autotune until now. I will certainly be doing it tomorrow. Thank you.

Don’t you hate that little fraction of a second when you hit the start button and it kinda sounds like it ain’t gonna fire! Lol, gets me every time.

[@blueyedevil519]

You get that too? I thought it was just me, lol. Oh god I hated that sound every time from the day I bought my 2009 XL1200C! Now my battery is shot ad I have been researching for the best battery for me! I don't know if I want or should go with the same old 200 ca heavy battery or the lithium ion battery. I can't decide because I am disabled with my back so I can't ride long without taking a break. The 200 CCA original batteries is not enough cranking amps imo and if I have to stop a lot that's not good on the lithium ion battery. Got any advice?

[@JradKbad]

Glad I am not the only one.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Normal on most Harleys. They have a very long stroke, and so the starter really has to work like hell to get the engine cranking past that first compression stroke.

Thanks for this video. Put stage 1 on my Freewheeler and flashed proper map from my FP3 and ran great with only one kind of flat spot in first gear. So I did an autotune and just like yours it ran like crap. So I stopped the autotune and went back to the flashed map. After watching your video I am going to do the autotune again now that I know what happened was normal.

Also there is a way to send it to vance and hines and they will fine tune your tune at no charge. I know Tim Finning did it. Maybe ask him on his channel about how.

[@randydixon5621]

I had a 17 softail. Ran it on auto tune. Ran sorta crappy in auto tune. But it's supposed to. Once all of your blocks on auto tune are filled, you flash the new map you made, then it runs great!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Yes alot of people tend to panic and stop because they think something is wrong. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

[@rkjer]

Hey Carl quick question. So say I go out for the first part of my ride to map the lower RPMs with just city cruising. Then I upload that learned data and continue to go onto the highway to get the higher RPM learned. When I stop to finalize with the higher RPM Learning There will obviously be a few blocks in the lower RPM relearned. So my question is if I plug-in the learn data once I get the lower RPMs green and then I go to the highway for a second session to get the higher RPMs And I pop a couple of oranges in the lower RPMs is that going to save the orange over the green that’s already learned when I finalize? I guess that’s kind of confusing but from the videos I’ve watched people do this in multiple sessions over one day. So they will continuously plug-in the learns data as they go. However once you plug in what you’ve learned it resets the learning map. I would hate to do 2 to 3 uploads before I finalize and then have it save in orange box over something where I already had the green previously. I hope that makes sense LOL

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I am not sure but if I had to guess I would think it takes the best of all sessions and uses those readings

[@rkjer]

Thanks for the follow up

[@spencerclarke8883]

really informative video,i have a 1200 nightster and have problems around 35-45 mph with the engine searching, when the bike gets back from the shop (major service, new rear master cylinder and a look at the running side of things, maybe mechanic will have sorted it?) if not i will try the auto tune thanks

[@brianrahuba6919]

I had so much fun today. I wish I knew I had 3 RPM Screens to help me dail it in on the auto tune. But this is where the fun began doing 45 rpm to 55 rpm zoom zoom zoom. Lol . It was a blast and the best thing I didn't get a speeding ticket. So now I just have to do the 1st screen of the RPM THE 2ND Screen is almost complete then I only have the the last rpm screen then finished send it to Vance and Hins to let them dail it in for the final touch then I play with the throttle activity Aggresive throttle here I come. I made a nice square block.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Brian Rahuba sounds like you took yours alot further than me I didn’t have to send it to vance and hines. My sportster is not drive by wire so I don’t have the throttle settings.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Looks like you did an advanced setup I only did the quick setup

[@brianrahuba6919]

Really it was just in I just did a quick set up myself. When your mapping slide the map to the left then the rpm tach appears you will see a shaded green area slide that to the left the shaded green is higher on the tach slide it again then you are in the 4 to 5 on the tach. Then you call V&H give them you vin number they will review it then they will map it send it back to you then the FINISHED PRODUCT

[@brianrahuba6919]

I dont think you have to send it out but since I paid 400 + I have to just have to send it to them. Might as well you paid for it ......

[@timfinning]

Hey Carl, what sort of mileage were you getting with the downloadable map before the auto tune? I'm getting around 100km out of mine then the fuel light comes on but it still has around 4 litres in the tank.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Tim Finning if I am converting correctly thats only around 62 miles. I was getting about 87 to 90 miles out of mine before the fuel light comes on and that leaves me about the same as you about 1 gallon. Do you have the same size tank? Mine is a little over 3 gallons. I am not sure how its doing after autotune I forgot to reset my gauge after fill up. Also I noticed with mine if you do a bunch of short trips starting really cold often on a tank my milage seemed to be lower. Also I make sure my tank is as full as I can get it when I fill it.

[@timfinning]

Yeh same size tank 3.3 gallons, I'm still in the break in period I know it Will get better as it beds in but seems a bit thirsty at the moment

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

If I converted correctly that seems very low. I would fill up and run another tank to confirm mileage

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Tim Finning I do like that color also!!!

I bought a 2000 road king that already had some Screamin Eagle upgrades. The problem is I’m not sure exactly what the previous owner did to it. Like what, if any cam or even what size jugs. I think it’s a 95Ci but not 100% sure. Will this give me an idea as to what I’ve got? Or Do I have to know the information first?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I think it only asks for exhaust and if you have a high flow air cleaner but your bike is also older so I am not sure what fuel pak will work with it you should call vance and hines or ask a harley dealer

[@daveharding4147]

Man I am auto tuning some custom pipes right now it is taking the fuel pac some time but it's working good for me

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Nice give it a good run at all speeds and rpm’s if you’re auto tuning and remember all the cells will not turn green. And if you want to really dial it in contact Vance and hines and they will look at the tune and tweak it. Good luck let me know how it goes

[@RBRM3]

How would it be doing better in auto-tune if you have an applied the tune yet? I pulled the baffles in naturally Vance and Hines don't approve so they don't have maps for it and it's sputtering pretty badly taking off in first. I'm hoping that today when I put more time on it, it'll run better, then I'm just going to leave it on apply so it automatically does it every time I get on the bike.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Your bike will run like crap while in autotune until you download the new map.

[@sboy1955]

Thanks for posting this. It would be nice if the cells didn’t clear when you choose to “add” the current session so you could keep watching the map develop. I’m on my third session next week and will probably select “finish” after that one.

Your battery seems to be getting old or you have a poor connection somewhere in the starter motor circuit. My 2010 FXSTC does that a lot when it wants to tell me something. If it wasn't so difficult to replace it on my model I'd have an All Balls starter in it by now. Also FWIW, I'd have the bike running in top for before installing a tuner. Clean the air filter and throttle body, put in fresh plugs and so on. You don't want the tuner or autotune to be trying to bandaid a problem with ignition, timing, spark, fuel flow and so on. I was hearing a lot of misfires... could be just the audio cutting out. Of course I have no idea how well (or poorly) your engine was running before you installed the tuner. Great video! Much appreciate the detail you provided.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

It was a crap battery from the start . I put in an antigravity restart lithium ion and it starts like nothing. Worth the money I have a video about it on my channel. A bit expensive but worth it.

Good Luck. The biggest thing is to expect the bike to run terribly and possibly even stall. So make sure you don’t take any turns in front of anyone that is close.

So in order for it to learn completely or close to it will you have to make elevation changes just wondering how that works ? Thanks

Kevin Craig I believe it takes the map you autotune off of and just dials it in a little better for your bike. They recommend riding for like around 3 half hour sessions at different speeds and conditions. I just did it all in one day. It did make a difference especially at low rpm. I don’t know about elevation changes. They don’t even do that when they dyno you’re bike I don’t believe,

I have a 2005 Dyna Wide Glide, fuel injected, I believe this bike is too old for that particular tuner from V&H but I think there's others that work, that's what I've been researching. I noticed my V&H Bigshots or Longshots starting to turn a straw color on the rear pipe a couple months ago and lately the front pipe is a little. I haven't been riding it much because I've been adding things to it, put new brakes and rotors on, new windshield etc. Anyway, after a while it started missing here and there usually at cruise speeds then started popping when I'd decelerate. I put new spark plugs and wires on a few days ago and the missing is gone, I still can't figure out why the pipes started turning gold, maybe the computer leans it out when the spark plugs start going bad, IDK but they were carbon fouled pretty bad, especially the front cylinder, the gap was almost completely closed from carbon on that one. I'm going to talk to the bike mechanic here first, he might be able to throw a tune on it himself, maybe it just needs to be re-mapped....

@@brianrahuba6919 That's one issue I've been having. It's also been running rich. I keep getting check engine light. It will go away when Autotune off but comes back.

[@orionclayton2478]

Just wanna say most people run these bikes at to low of an rpm. I seem hear a lot of people complaining about sputtering and what not and I'm hear shifts at like 2500 rpm. When it's more around 3000 and up. I'm no expert, but I've also talked to a master mechanic and he has told me the same thing, I was shifting to early. And running it to low a speed for the gear

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

It definitely runs better at a higher Rpm. If you shift according to the owners manual you will have a real miserable ride. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@adammiller1479]

DONT AUTO TUNE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE WIDE BAND Oxygen sensor year sporty. I have an 07 nightster. Short shots and intake. It runs horrible. Cold start issues. Throttle response issues. Everything. The narrow band O2 sensors in the early models can’t properly tell the software what’s going on. Use the preset tunes. Works amazingly. I had so many issues auto tuning. Once I flashed a pre made tune on my sporty it runs great. More power and torque everywhere without any holes or hiccups.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I have a 2019 absolutely no problems autotuning. And a couple of guys I know had theirs tweeked by vance and hines after the autotune

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

What year did they change?

[@lukaszkoczen]

I installed it and rode for a full tank but still runs like shit, backfires like crazy, maybe one green squere and rest are dark. I think I need to do it again from the scratch..

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Try it again fill the tank and ride as long as you can at different speeds and rpm without shutting it off and download it. If it runs better and is close contact vance and hines and they can tweek the map. I found doing it in one segment worked better.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

Is your FP3 hooked up while you ride?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Yes I leave mine permanently hooked up to the bike so I can look at things whenever. I also have my phone mounted on my bars so I can use it to display extra gauges if I want also. It’s married to the bike so I might as well use it otherwise it would just sit in the garage.

[@danmaltby3271]

What kind of phone mount do yiu use

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Rokform I have a video on my channel channel about it and installing it.

[@firoutfarm]

Great viedo. But do you ever stop at stop signs? lol

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I try my best not to put my feet down lol.

[@BDARROWOOD]

What phone mount do you use?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Rokform. I really like it for the bike but being an electrician the magnetic case picks up all kind of metal shavings on ghe job site. I would recommend it but find a way to keep the charge port covered if you are around alot of metal scraps.

[@michaelgaskill4594]

Does the FP3 drain the battery when left plugged in all the time?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I do not think so I never had any problems.

[@PitbullSoco]

No, the data port is unpowered unless the ignition is on

Finish ends that session I believe. You would have to start a new one

[@rodolfosabater7781]

Im also thinking of my cellphone battery... since in the manual it states there that you need to do 3 sessions at 60 min per session to be able to tune properly and hit the finish button.. my bike does not have a USB port what if my cellphone battery drains while im tuning

[@ingemarnilsson5498]

Why do you not stop totally at stop sign?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I am a believer in full stops but on my motorcycle I try not to put my feet down more than I have to. I talked to a few officers and they told me most of the time they wouldn’t bother a motorcycle if they at least come close to stopping. Just my opinion for the most part I follow the rules and do reasonable speeds.

[@jonathancasasanta]

Did you notice any power improvement?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Jonathan Casasanta a little bit. Not like an omg difference. But I do think it runs a little better and definitely fixed the decel Pop.

[@DNiddy]

I am surprised the tune was loaded with that killswitch in the off position.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

It was stored it was between runs I believe. It was quite a while ago. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@xXTECHxKNIGHTXx]

Yea I think I did something wrong. When I tried to do an auto tune session on my 2016 road king it ran like absolute SHIT, felt like it was running on 1 cylinder and making about 5HP. Quickly went back to a unmodified map, the bike could hardly get out of its own way and didn't learn any cells after about 5 minutes.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

My bike ran like crap while autotuning but yours sounds like it was really bad. My bike would spit and sputter and want to stall when taking off.

[@OEFveteran2010]

Great video will try auto tune 👍🏼

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

It makes it easier when you are aware your bike runs terrible in autotune. Thanks for watching and commenting good luck with the tune.

[@MrTech8911]

Does this void the warranty? Also what cell holder is that.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

MrTech8911 yes if Harley finds out you use a non approved tuner it can void certain parts of your warranty. Also it is a Rokform phone holder check out my video installing it. It is the best I love it. The magnet in the phone case is awesome. There is also a magnet in the mount when you clip it in it does not move!!!! Thanks for watching

[@shortbus794]

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Understandable. You never want to ride a bike with poor performance in traffic. But if you do it just be careful and prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@shortbus794]

Im honestly just not tech savvy. So that’s my worry. But I wheelie the bike. An need a little me sack. If that makes any sense sir.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I sure do. I wish I could wheelie the bikes!!

[@RBRM3]

If you pull the baffles then you have to because they won't allow maps to be put on it with them taking out.

What bars are those??

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

They are the stock bars for the 2019 iron1200 sportsters. I think 8”

[@TheMetalmachine467]

was it worth the money

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Yes it was for me so I can run the hi flow air filter. I love to be able to see all the readings in the app also. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@motorcycle.misadventures]

if you were to have read the instructions you would have known that autotune turns off all of the cold start features of the fuel injection. You need to warm the bike up first if its a cold day.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

My bike was already warm when I started.

[@debrathane7177]

What does MAP stand for?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

debra thane I don’t think it has an acronym. I believe it is an actual map that gets flashed to your ecu/ecm and tells your fuel injection system how much fuel to add at different times. I am not a Harley Tech so thats my take I know about the basics (enough to make me dangerous) lol

[@kevincraig8257]

Manifold pressure what actually.does is an afr it adjust the mixture to different loads that are seen by monitoring intake manifold pressure's when you are running with in epa regs your engine is running lean the tuner brings the mixture to best power getting the most out of your engine the way it was designed to run before the icebergs started to melt

[@1pollo1rabbit]

Manifold Absolute Pressure.It’s used by the engines’ computer to detect engine load.
