Tuning Victory® Motorcycle
If you are used to using Direct Link to tune Harley-Davidson® you will notice that there are some steps that are NOT performed when tuning a Victory® motorcycle.
- You do not back up the original map.
- You must select a map according to ECU Part Number and software ver.; choices may show up to 3 different maps, but not all are for your installed ECU.
- Select the correct map with the same ECU and Software version.
- Follow prompts on screen.
- If vehicle battery dies in the middle of programming, follow these steps:
- Turn IGN off
- Let battery charge for at least 30 minutes
- Unplug VCM device from the computer and motorcycle
- Plug VCM device back into the computer and motorcycle
- Turn IGN on
- Reselect the map to program, click Program, the software should run normally
- Follow prompts on screen
- VE table values are not given in the same format, but numbers mean the same. Higher number more fuel, lower number less fuel.
- If the motorcycle has a timing wheel installed, you have two options:
- Check timing tables and adjust if you feel it necessary
- Remove the timing wheel
- Auto-tuning with OEM (factory) O2 sensors is not possible.
- Prepare VCM for Autotune, either Dyno or Mobile Dyno. Follow steps on screen.
- Download recorded data, revise the data, modify if you feel necessary.
- Reprogram ECU with the new map.
- Repeat steps. Usually 2 or 3 runs will do.
SINGLE USERS:
- If you are not confident of the above steps, go to a professional tuner.
- If you have issues with how the engine is running, either too rich or too lean. We recommend taking your motorcycle to a technician for him to perform an inspection and, if relevant, tune it.
