Narrow.Are the o2 sensors on our bikes narrow or wide band?
Hey Norm, if your pipes don't already have the bigger bungs, most muffler shops have them in stock. Easy install about 3"s from the heads on the head pipes put in a direction where the sensors clear everything. Cheap to do yourself if you have a big wielder. Good luck.Cool. I need to figure out what connections do what. I'm wanting to add a pair of O2 sensors.
Your bike already have narrow band O2 sensors which are 12mm so there is no need to add sensors unless you want to go with a auto tune tuner such as a T-max or or PV with the auto tune pro, these style tuners use wideband O2 sensors and the are 18mm.Cool.

Not sure, but I don't think so. I think it is like the Direct Link. They utilize the narrow band for fuel/air tweaking for altitude, etc.I've lost track, does the TTS have any ability to utilize wide band sensors??
If that's the case, Power Vison/Target Tune is worlds ahead as it does live wide band tweaking of the map. Works really nice on my 110.Not sure, but I don't think so. I think it is like the Direct Link. They utilize the narrow band for fuel/air tweaking for altitude, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's why the T-Max and Power Vision have the wide band sensors is to be able to make whole sale changes to the fuel/air and throttle position/rpm range. That's why they are so good at auto tuning. Once you've ridden 75-100 miles varying rpms, speed, how much throttle, etc. , then you save that map and start over again. It takes several times to get it to fine tune it as best it can. Once all the segments of the map are filled in and corrected, auto tune is to be turned off. Auto tuning can't be done with narrow band sensors. They don't allow enough info nor are they intended for that task.If that's the case, Power Vison/Target Tune is worlds ahead as it does live wide band tweaking of the map.

Power Vision's old Autotune was "part time" wide band system, used only long enough tune the map and then switched back to the narrow bands.Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's why the T-Max and Power Vision have the wide band sensors is to be able to make whole sale changes to the fuel/air and throttle position/rpm range.

Kind of what I thought, the T-Max is a stand alone tuner that you remove the ecm and uses wide band sensors. It does the same thing, once auto tune is complete and you are satisfied with all the cells auto tune is turned off and then it just does the normal altitude change and such for the a/f ratio.Power Vision's old Autotune was "part time" wide band system, used only long enough tune the map and then switched back to the narrow bands.
The new Target Tune system is a full time system that is used first to do the mass map tuning using the widebands, and then is switched over and used to do the full time trimming with the wide bands as well, which over time trims the entire map.
I don't know enough about the T-max to comment.
Yeah correct and the ECM isn't even on the bike with a T-Max. Also after the learning session, you have to save the session to a new Map name, then save it for later comparisons on how well the T-max is tuning and how far it has gotten along in the tuning process. Both are great systems, neither are as good as a dyno.The T-max auto tunes the AFR in real time and does it all the time the engine is running and you don't have to flash the ECM after a tune session. I have the Power Vision now and it doesn't have the autotune pro but you have to do a auto tune session and reflash the ECM after the auto tune session. I am not as familiar with the Power Vision as I am with the T-max.
Just wondering Norm, what's the purpose of having the gauges? With a vision, you have real time right in front of you.What I was talking about was to run two sets of sensors. One to run the air/fuel gauges and the other to run the tuner.
Correct, the Power Vision with the Target Tune add-on tunes continuously with the wide band sensors, and also has the ability to show you the readings on the screen as you ride. The PV can show you as many as 20 different gauges spread across 4 scrollable screens full time as you ride. There are 30-some different parameters you can choose from to set up as gauges. (The PV unit does not have to be permanently mounted to bike, although I have had mine on my bike for 5 years)Just wondering Norm, what's the purpose of having the gauges?

I have two of the T-Max's on older bikes and can honestly say, I wished the Vision would have been out when I bought. It seems like so much of a better unit.Correct, the Power Vision with the Target Tune add-on tunes continuously with the wide band sensors, and also has the ability to show you the readings on the screen as you ride.

Neither the TTS or the Thundermax offer this capability.
I have a TTS laying on the shelf for that very reason.I have two of the T-Max's on older bikes and can honestly say, I wished the Vision would have been out when I bought. It seems like so much of a better unit.
