I run mine full time now. Everything works once you get away from TPS based tuning.

Sorry for my newbish question, but what is tps based tuning
At this point I could do one without the digital display. No autotune setup will work with TPS based tuning at small throttle angles. The trick is making the tune MAP based below 12% throttle.

The LCD 200 is somewhat optional but is a huge help.
The wideband/autotune setup is mandatory. I like the Harley version if you can afford it and you have the LCD-200, as you get duel widebands.
The dyno is a $35000 option (or the typical moron that owns it that concentrates mostly on just cashing your checks) is an option I elect to pass on.
You no longer need the PLX MAP sensor as the stock one is better.

For us less capable, I'm asking about just the AutoTune. Put it on and let it do its work. Worth it or not?
eurban,
Did you do the mods to yohr bike? I'd like to do some of the stuff you did but feel its above my head. Specifically, FCE, 16t, SpeedoDRD, airbox mod. What is the airbox mod?

No wonder there is confusion . . .Beast are you really understanding the question being put forth?? Will the Autotune, when used in the CONVENTIONAL manner to generate a TPS based "custom" tune, give decent results?? Like most people on these forums, the two posters asking this question are not likely to purchase the additional equipment you are using or be willing to make the commitment of time and mental energy to learn how to use it.Worth every penny of the price of admission. If mine broke, I would replace it with the same thing.
My bike runs a hugely different tune from summer to winter. The autotune module found it. When I mentened it to Fuelmoto, they knew all about it on the Yamaha ECU.

If we read inside the words, it seems that the FZ1 is a MAP-based tune under the covers and the autotune is not Andy's choice for tuning. Based on all the issues and complaints with the autotune (and not only on the FZ1 but many other bikes) I wouldn't get one myself. The money is better spent elsewhere. You're going to get acceptable performance out of shared maps. Save one person, no one else is looking for the Utopia of fuel vs. performance.
The autotune works perfectly, once set up to adjust the fuel in a way that is in sync with the factory ECU.
Again Andy, you are missing the point. The rider wants to know if the PCV and autotune with NOTHING ELSE is worth the money. According to your notes, no, it isn't unless all the other added expense and knowledge can be thrown in, none of which the member wants or is willing to buy.
Bottom line, all that was asked is if the autotune with the PCV is better than a dyno tune. You're confusing the issue without providing a direct answer. Your finding and ideas are highly regarded and respected but there are very few members that would pursue the same level of tuning as you have.
Thanks.
The only added cost is 3 foot of wire to connect the MAP sensor and a wire splice. A dyno tune is only for one elevation and one intake air temp. Get away from those base conditions and the tune is a mess. Good luck with that. You save having to rent the dyno and dealing with the guy that keeps cashing your checks.
