MAP FLASHING INSTRUCTION
IMPORTANT: The FP3 will marry to the first VIN that it flashes. Once
you flash a motorcycle, the FP3 is permanently married to the VIN.
There is no way to undo this. The FP3 does not marry to the VIN until
you complete the first flash. You can use the same FP3 device on a
different bike to read and clear trouble codes or view live sensor data,
but will not be able to flash.
MAP FLASHING
1. Go to ‘Map Lookup’ (or ‘Search
for a Map’ if it is not your first time
flashing) to search for an appropriate
map for your configuration.
a. The FP3 will show only maps
available for your specific model
and factory engine configuration.
If further modifications to the
map are needed, they will be
made after flashing your base
map. (page 9)
b. If you do not see your exhaust
listed, please choose an equivalent
Generic or Vance & Hines map.
Contact V&H Customer
Support if you need assistance selecting a map.
c. All FP3 maps are dyno tuned for high flow air intakes. If you have a stock
intake, flash the map for your exhaust with high flow air intake – the ECU will
trim the map automatically as you ride.
2. After selecting components, locate and press your map result, located at the
bottom of the page.
3. Press ‘Flash’ (Android) or ‘Program Bike With This Map’ (iOS) and follow on
screen prompts.
• Pressing ‘Save’ (Android) will save the map to your library, but will not
flash it to the bike.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT INTERRUPT POWER, CLOSE THE APP, OR ACCEPT A PHONE
CALL DURING THE FLASHING PROCESS. THE BIKE CAN NEVER BE
RUNNING WHEN TRYING TO FLASH A MAP.

INSTRUCTION VIEW / EDIT MAPS
THROTTLE PROGRESSIVITY
The throttle progressivity feature alters the primary and secondary throttle
blade control tables to deliver various levels of throttle response on fly-by-wire
equipped bikes.
NOTE: This feature does not apply to throttle by cable bikes.

MODERATE: Smooth and controlled throttle response. Noticeable difference
compared to stock
AGGRESSIVE: Fast, crisp throttle response off the line and when accelerating
(V&H Recommended Setting)
RACE 1:1: Maximum setting, 1:1 response. Use with caution – highly sensitive

VIEW / EDIT MAPS INSTRUCTION
DECEL POP
The decel pop feature is designed to reduce or
eliminate popping on deceleration. It progressively
enrichens the first column of the air fuel ratio
table. The more firecrackers, the more fuel that’s
being added in attempt to reduce popping. V&H
recommends starting with the ‘1 firecracker’
setting and only using the 2 or 3 firecracker
settings if necessary.
1. Go to ‘View/Edit Maps’
2. Select the map you want to edit
3. Go to ‘Air and Fuel’
4. Go to ‘Decel Pop’
5. Turn dial to your desired setting
6. Press the flash (lightning bolt) button
and follow on screen prompts
ROTATE DIAL TO CHANGE SETTING
MORE FIRECRACKERS = MORE FUEL TO REDUCE POPPING
ENGINE MODIFICATIONS
Additional tables for engine modifications can
be found under the ‘General’ section. Rev limit,
engine displacement, injector size, and other
parameters can be altered here. Be sure to press
the flash button (lightening bolt) after making
new changes to apply them to your map/bike.
SERVICE ODOMETER
This feature is available for CAN BUS (6-pin)
equipped motorcycles and allows the user to easily
keep track of miles/kilometers for maintenance such
as oil changes, tires, break-ins, etc.
1. Go to ‘Maintenance’
2. Select ‘Service Odometer’
3. Select an available counter
4. Type in a name for the counter, i.e. “Oil Change”
5. Press check mark to begin counter
6. When ready, press ‘Reset’ to set the counter back to 0.0.

AUTOTUNE INSTRUCTION
The Autotune feature utilizes your stock O2 sensors by setting your air
fuel ratio table into closed loop operation and calibrating the front and rear
volumetric efficiency tables (aka VE tables). Autotune will use your selected
base map as a starting point to begin calibrating from. Your Finished Autotune
map will be flashed into a separate map slot, leaving the base map in it’s
original slot. This feature is typically used if there is not an appropriate
base map for your setup, there is fine tuning needed for aftermarket engine
components, or there are issues with a base map.
NOTE: Vance & Hines recommends running 1-2 tanks of fuel with your base map
before considering the Autotune feature. After each flash, fuel trims on the
ECU are cleared, and small adjustments/improvements will be made during
this period. Autotune would only be used if there is fine tuning needed after
1-2 tanks of fuel with a base map.
NOTE: Be advised that while Autotune is active the bike will not perform optimally.
The AFR table is in closed loop, and the cranking fuel, acceleration
enrichment, and deceleration enleanment features are turned off. This may
translate into poor cold start performance, erratic idle, poor throttle response,
and general ride quality issues. These will resolve once you ‘Finish’ the
Autotune. Letting the bike fully warm-up before riding while Autotune is
active will help to diminish some of these symptoms.
NOTE: Autotune cannot be flashed while the bike is running
INITIALIZING AUTOTUNE
1. Go to ‘Autotune’ from the main menu
2. Select ‘Quick Setup’
• ‘Advanced Setup’ should only be
used if operating the bike on a
dynamometer, or directed to by V&H
3. Select a base map to start Autotune from.
Be sure to select the correct map slot
number that is appropriate for your setup.
• To verify which map is in a given slot,
go to the ‘View/Edit Maps’ section and
note the appropriate slot number
4. Follow on screen prompts to flash bike

INSTRUCTION AUTOTUNE
COLLECTING DATA
Autotune collects data based off the throttle position and RPM you are riding in. Ride
in a variety of RPM ranges while Autotune is active for best results. Yellow/orange
indicates data has been collected in a given cell, green indicates that Autotune cannot
collect more data for this session in that cell. It is important to apply periodically so
that the Autotune can continue learning and honing in your map. Autotune cannot
be flashed while the bike is running. Pressing ‘Apply’ will apply changes to your VE
tables and keep Autotune on. Pressing ‘Finish’ will apply changes to your VE tables
and complete the Autotune process. Pressing ‘Turn Off’ will cancel the Autotune and
revert back to your prior base map. Below is the recommended guideline for running
Autotune.
NOTE: All data is collected on the FP3 device itself, therefore it is not necessary
to have your app connected during Autotune, although it may be helpful.
