12minute tune question...
what happens when you go over the 12minutes?
ie. when i let mine run for 1/2hr, so it went way over 12minutes. grant it, i did NOT start her WITHOUT touching the throttle, so did my 1/2hr run not count as a 12minute tune?
Going over won't hurt...12 minutes is about the minimum time it takes to relearn it's idle conditions. You could skip this step and it would learn while you ride, but it might stumble and stall and so forth for a while.
AND
tomorrow i am taking it to the dealer, should i do a 12min tune before leaving the house and riding 135miles?
No, let them do everything.
OR
just ride it like it is, so they can see the "full spectrum" of the problem?
OR
it won't matter to the dealer's mech either way, whatever he is going to do won't read the bikes current set up anyways. what he will do will wipe out anything that the computer has "learned" from a 12min tune?
thanks for your thoughts on this!
oh, and, after a "correctly executed" 12min tune, am i supposed to shut it down then restart it and ride?
OR
just hop on her and go?
thanks again

Once the dealer does the ISCV reset, he will, or should reset adaptations (wipe it) and do the 12 minute tune. When you do your own 12 minute tunes...just hop on and go afterward. You could shut it down while you gather up your riding gear if it makes you feel better. In any case, if you are doing a 12 minute tune, you've had the seat off so you can access the OBD2 port, so you'll be taking a minute to button that up.
