You can also add the autotune to the PC-V which adjusts the mapping on the fly. The best thing about a PC-V is that you can change the map in a few minutes, with a flashed ECU you have one map and that's it. You can also take the bike to someone with a dyno to alter the mapping which will cost about $200. The great thing about the PC-V is that you can change the tuning yourself with a computer and adjust the fuel curves even with a downloaded map specific to your setup. If there is any pertinent information you'd like to share, it'd be very much appreciated.Īre you planning on racing? If not then you dont need to go to great lengths to tune your bike other than fuel mileage and having the engine running efficiently since you can damage engine components running the bike out of tune. Last and not least, is all of this worth it for a street rider who is looking for smoother acceleration at lower RPMs and less jerky throttle on/off for city driving and better performance for weekend twisties? getting a custom tune where they throw it on a dyno and really dial it in? Thoughts on either? From looking at the website for Bauce, you give all the details of your bike so is their ballpark guess much closer than the ballpark guess of the PCV map from their website? sending it in to a company (like Bauce racing) and b. So essentially, does this do what a PCV can, thereby making a PCV unnecessary? Any advantage of keeping the PCV if I get it flashed or should I just sell it?Īre the two options for flashing a. I understand that ECU flashes can alter a bunch of parameters like fan turn on temp among other things. I have also been researching ECU flashes. How close are these generally? Would you recommend a dyno tune to get it perfect? I have a Power Commander V and understand that the downloaded map from their website is just a ballpark guess.
exhaust? Assuming this is correct, do I just need headers and a mid pipe to make my system a full exhaust? I understand that cat delete does a good chunk of the work of making the bike breathe better so are gains from headers and a mid pipe marginal? Is cat delete also referred to as a Y pipe? Is a full exhaust composed of a.
Aprilia Owner's Pictures, Videos, and Sounds.Quick Navigation 2012-2022 Tuono V4 - All Variants Top Is the Tuono Race tune currently on the bike (which has no Cat) enough ? or should I go the tune route, and if so why can't I just visit a local tuner and provide them the ECU, pay for the tune and flash and call it a day ? WHY do I need an OFT which a well known mechanic referenced on this very forum says does not really add any power (and that the dyno charts showing they do is total BS) ? I want to have it tuned to the characteristics of that exhaust. so after I put my new slipon, on the bike. I'm fitting a new Delkevec slip-on designed to fit the 2016 Tuono, but I'm going to do it because the person I bought my 2017 from did a full titanium SC Project exhaust and I have to modify whatever slip-on I buy (unless I go SC Project which I wont because all their stuff is super loud), so no matter if I bought a Graves, Akro, or Yoshi at $900, I'd have the same problem on my hands, so I'm buying a $200 slipon from a company I know and like, with product I happen to think looks great.īut I degress. I was watching Brock Davidson's channel, and there's an episode where he mentions that they're pretty much the same, but the ECU flash approach is cheaper because you're just flashing what you already have if you have the right map and tuning equipment.
