FTR-1200 First Tune, Data Logging, & Corrections

This video provides the steps with explanations on loading your first tune that you have already prepared based on the tune (DJT file) you prepared here. Once the DJT tune has been loaded into C3 Module, go to the TuneLab section and load in the custom equation that you should have downloaded here. Once that is done, open the Data Center Module and load in your Logs.wp8 that you have captured with your PV3 or the Logs.CXL with the PVCX.

The video goes over how to setup your Data Center to view your logs, with all the data channels available in the logs.  Once you are satisfied with the quality and length of the logs, go back to C3 module, TuneLab, and run the equation.

The Power Core Software Suite is extremely powerful with its TuneLab able to run custom Python equations.  The provided equation will correct your tune's VE Table and IPW Comp Front & Rear Tables. Once this is done, save the corrected tune as a revision in a new folder.  Be sure to let Power Core save a new STK file to that folder.  You should compare your pre-corrected tune to the newly created corrected one to gain an insight on what changes were called for.  Remember, the equation only makes the corrections that the ECU was making via the fuel trims.

Once done, you are ready to repeat the cycle by copying the new tune over to the PV3 or PVCX and record more tune.  Please be sure to delete the older logs from your device, they take up a lot of room. At this stage, we are going to leave the Target AFR table stock.  Once you gain confidence in the tuning process, we will expand this table to make corrections over a larger operating range.  There is no hurry to get there, the corrections you are making are not wasted, but will make your bike behave better in the idle through cruise range.

Before you view this video, please review the TS111/TS116 video for a more in-depth discussion on preparing to make your first tune correction.
