i have a 08 nightster with v+h side shots stock air filter but am planning to upgrade to a roland sand venturia or velocity short stack,just want opinions on a fuel managment system some say power commander others say thundermax then there screaming eagle race tuner any comments appreciated.
I got mine for the Sporty. No, finding space for piggy back devices. The hardest thing was clipping the battery cover back up to stay in place when riding, but thats a sporty thing.
I wouldn't use anything else, but I am biased too, I already bought one !
Highly recommend TTS. Simple and efficient. Even a monkey could use it.
TTS is user friendly if you follow the procedures. I am praising the system that you promote. That has to be a plus.
There is no one right answer because every system has one compromise or another.. and the right system depends on how you feel about the compromise. You will find several happy customers of any system. If you are comfortable around a laptop and software, I think the TTS the way to go, especially if you want to make a modification here and there in the future and perhaps experiment or learn fuel management. If you have one of the few bikes that need a bit of a tweak, then you will need to learn maybe more than you ever wanted about VE tables and offsets and deleanment... think of it as sweat equity. All the SERT SEST systems have a steep learning curve. TTS learning curve is steep only if you want to fiddle with the details. With any of these software programers you don't have to deal with the PITA hardware installs. If you Just hate to use software get something like a PCV (will they fit on a sporty?) and install it with dielectric grease in all connectors. Get the right map for your bike configuration preprogrammed by the vendor (most do it free). Just install and forget it. These are usually close enough. Send the module back for reprograming if you make a mod and the bike doesn't run right. If you have loads of cash and want perfect tune, just hire a tuner to make it right. That's the easiest way. I use the TTS and did not need any tweaks once the ECU went through its learning process. It worked well for me. I don't know if any of these systems are worth the money they charge, but you have little choice.
