Altitude Sickness? Nope. Don't think so.

I use an old crappy laptop I bought on Craigslist for $10.00. Works great !

Just for your info I installed my tune with my phone. I would like a tablet eventually for this though so I can actually read the tables and make adjustments as I learn more about this. You will be able to adjust your throttle bodies though. It would be nice to be able to zoom in and see the actual numbers on the big graphs but I'm totally happy for the cost of 12 dollars I have TuneECU on my phone.

I do not want to see the numbers
That would only make me dumber - I trust what HansO put in there
Ignorance is bliss.............

I just want to know how to adjust cells if they need it. As of right now it's perfect. I'm just thinking I may not be able to stop playing with stuff like pipes, ect.

I appreciate you ALL so much!!! I am learning more and more with each writing. Thank you guys. My cellphone is an Android, and I do own an Android tablet also. I'll gladly spend $12.00 twice, and put the tune app on both. I will order the proper cable tomorrow. I would love to activate my cooling fan at a lower temperature. That would be very nice, ( and a few other things ), once I learn how. Plus I want HansO's tune also. Can you guys tell me, ( or discuss ), baffle removal? Some people say they've removed their baffles, and they don't mention having to re-tune or re-map their Rockets. But, I've been warned by others, that if I remove my baffles, I need to be prepared to recalibrate my air/fuel mixture or re-tune, and re-map my R3 Touring. So now I'm unsure, and a little confused. Which is it? Which is right? Can I remove my baffles, get that louder sound I want, and will my bike retain its perfect running qualities? Or, will removal of my baffles cause me a lot of other complications and headaches? What can you all tell me, please? Thank you all... Russell

You only have to spend 12 bux once....with Android, you buy the apps once, and can download them to every device you have!

Thanks for that. It's really good news.

Regardless of what map you use, ANY bike will ALWAYS produce less power (everything else considered) at higher altitude simply because the air is less dense - there is no way around that.
Better maps will make the best of what you have; the OEM barometric pressure sensor will adjust your fueling to accommodate the less dense air to supply the engine with the optimum air/fuel ratio to make it run smoothly but it will NOT run as strong as it will at sea level.

Now I'm not saying a better map won't give you give more power than you already have - I'm saying even with new map, there is no way around the air density thing and that if you then take bike to sea level it WILL perform better still
However there is no doubt whatsoever you will see better power than you currently have with your Touring just by installing a Roadster-derivative map.

Thanks DEcosse. My hope was that in the thinner air, I could "break even" with sea level performance by jacking up the intake airflow a little to compensate. More thin air in the air/fuel mixture. But, if that won't work, I'm still looking forward to my new exhaust from Dain, my K&N 2780 air intake kit, and some ECU tuning. I can't wait.

The high altitude, less power conundrum is largely what gives airplanes their maximum altitude. Go higher and the plane just doesn't have enough oomph to keep going!

I can relate to that. Definitely.
