| If you have your recall map installed, please post your impressions. Also, please state what map and pipes you are using.
Thanks, Tim

Northeast Ohio | No more coughing or stalling. No noticable improvement on performance, but I am running a VFCIII. This is the way it should have came from the factory. Oh yeah, it virtually eliminated my decel popping. |

| Good to hear it cures the decel popping. I haven't reflashed mine yet and have a similar setup to yours. Hope my decel pops are gone as well. Did you install the base map or the stage 1 map? Thanks, Tim

Northeast Ohio | Base. That is what Lloyd calls for the with VFCIII. |

Northeast Ohio | Tim, i am absolutely amazed at how much better the bike runs. Again, it is the way it should have come from the factory. |

Centennial, CO | My impression/opinion...
I am VERY HAPPY with the remap. The engine runs seemingly quieter and MUCH smoother including during shifting!
I am running the S1L2 pipes and could not be happier at this time. |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Bike came from dealer at the end of March with Stage 1 level 2 and has run fine since new. Maybe the local dealer got it right? |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | I have never been notified of any re-calls. Should I be worried?

Woodland Hills, CA | I have the Stage 1 Level 1 with Big Shot. Noticeable improvement in smoothness, and acceleration, especially through first and second gears. Deceleration popping reduced, but still there when the engine is cold. Once warmed up, no popping at all. |

| The recall reflash. What it does is enables the ECU not to reset itself if you get a sudden power failure.. Has nothing to do with performence....My question is why are the 09 ecu maps different from the 08. |

Carrollton, TX | I got the remap done this afternoon. I was not having any of the popping or stalling issues and my Vision seemed to run great since new. Prior to the remap I would get more vibration that I could feel in the handlebars at 3,500 rpm and above in any gear. It was not a lot but noticeable. After the remap the engine runs a lot smoother from 3,500 rpm and above. The whole power band seems a smoother. Are the rest of you that have had this done experiencing the same benefit? The engine heat seems to be a little less but I need more time to verify. After 100 miles the gas mileage seems to be the same if not a little better. I will have a better idea after another few hundred miles. |

Arkansas | Had mine re-flashed today and have about 75 miles on the new map. Have S1L1 and have had the stock d/load for 5 months (long story). Had occasional popping especially when cold with the stock d/load and 40 to 48 mpg depending on alt above sea level.
First impressions with new d/load: Seems to run a little free-er ( kinda breathes easier I guess). I do have some popping with on and off throttle changes- medium loud to soft sounding though. Happens maybe 15% of the time. If the system has adaptive abilities then this may self calibrate over time. Don't really notice much improvement in power- maybe so but very subtle, if present.
Gas mileage: who knows at this point- the instant and avg. mpg are in line with previous readings. Temp per oil stick thermo is still around 195 degF with ambient temps in the 70's and 80's.
So, I guess the jury is still out, but I'm thinking it's gonna be a bit better.

Reno County, KS | I've run a couple thousand miles in a week on this new remap and it's made no difference with the popping. It did make a difference with the bike dying at the stop lights. It doesn't suddenly die any longer. That's a good improvement. |

Madison, AL | My wrench stated since I had previously gone with the S1L1 pipes that the reflash probably wouldn't make a difference. I haven't noticed much difference but it usually takes a swift and hard blow to the head for me to notice something. Also, I have an excellent mechanic that also owns and rides his own Vision. I previously had CB/IC, Sat radio, Fog Lights, etc. installed and the mechanic did a excellent job of hooking it all up. I do have Loyds VIP and VFC ordered and hope to notice a bit more torque starting out. |

| I have mine in the shop now for the reflash. My bike when new had zero popping upon putting the S1L2 pipes on I got the popping. Then I added the VFCIII played with a lot of settings adjustments and Lloyd suggested the popping is from exhaust or intake leaks. Upon inspection my wrench found three leaks one big one. Fixed them and rode a couple thousand miles with out a single pop. Heard a pop or two at Street Vibrations in Reno and upon inspection at home found two small ones where the S1L2 pipes connect. So if your getting some popping I would suggest you check for the black around the exhaust joints.

New Castle Delaware | Had the remap done this past Wednesday. I have S1L2 and had some popping before. I now have minor pop sometimes shifting from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3. have almost none down shifting. It seems to have more power on the lowend and driving in 2nd and third I don't get the jerking action when I come off the throttle. I would have to say there is an improvement. |

Fargo, ND | I had the remap done last weekend. Today I rode 240 miles with a passenger, and had it die as I decelerated to a stop 3 different times. Once I was still in 4th gear and at about 40mph. The other 2 times were in first as I pulled in the clutch at a stop. Overall, the performance and smoothness at idle improved noticeably since the remap and mileage was 41.2 mpg at around 60 mph average today for the 240 miles. Having the bike kill when I'm coming to a stop doesn't bother me half as bad as when it dies as I attempt to leave a stoplight. That was the situation the first time it died today. |

Tacoma, WA | Had it done, but don't see a difference...other than the fuel pump clicks less after shut off. It ran just fine before, and see no improvement, or otherwise.----Metalguy |

Carrollton, TX | As I mentioned in a post above I got the remap done on Friday afternoon and mentioned it made the Vision a lot smoother buy lessening vibration from 3,500 rpm and above in all gears.
Today I got to test the remap a lot further. I rode the Vision in downtown Dallas stop and go traffic for about 45 minutes in 95 degree temperatures and the remap mad a big difference in lowering engine temperatures. I was very impressed. According to my wrench the remap increases the richness of the fuel mixture at lower rpm in the lower gears to lower the amount of heat being generated by the engine. This is why I noticed much less engine heat in stop and go traffic but only a little less at highway speeds. Gas mileage seemed to be about the same if not a little better but I will have to put more miles on to really validate this. I also agree with Dave’s comments that the jerkiness I got in letting up on the throttle at lower speeds in 1st and 2nd is now gone. Thanks Victory!! |

Stockton, Ca. | I had the remap done Saturday. Huge improvement. Even with the Ness exhaust and big dog fuel controller. No more popping on decel or shifting. Smooth accelleration, deceleration and it feels like there is more power. I am liking my Vision more every time I ride it. |

| Thats what I hear... if you get some popping chances are its an exhaust leak. |

Atlanta Area | Getting my reflash done tomorrow along with the 5K service (oil). Over 300 miles round trip to the dealer and back so I should know how it's working by the time I get home. Mine stalls quite often at traffic stops. Having just come off Harleys for the past few years, blipping the throttle is a hard habit to break. Mine seems to stall for sure every time I blip it. Sometimes it will stall without blipping...
