Hey Ron, the oil lines and front controls story came directly from V/H....nutty..just nutty is all I can say.
Regarding the popping you are getting. Yesterday i got a chance to ride for about 150 miles. I have run about 7 or 8 AT sessions with the Power Vision(saving each session on top of the last, then loading it) over the last 2 weeks. I am now at the point where the average VE table changes are at 0%, with maximums at 3%, so i think I've taken it about as far as I can.
I am very impressed. Very few pops(just enough to keep the exhaust fun!), the power delivery has improved a little more after each AT session, and now it's just a dream to ride. This is my first experience with the PowerVision and it's a very, very impressive fuel manager. So simple to hook up and use, and very effective.
