Basically the POD-300 is a lot easier/safer to use than the laptop, otherwise for what we are doing you're probably getting the same data on the laptop that you would from the POD-300. The other thing I would use the POD-300 for was data logging since I was specifically trying to fine tune problem areas (lean spots) of my map after a couple of years worth of letting the autotune make adjustments.
Figured the POD or LCD would provide same info as laptop. The laptop is so damn intrusive and looks like crap if you leave it on the bike.
I always hit both "Send map" and "Sent table" buttons, simply because I can't remember which one sends which charts and haven't cared enough to read up on it again.
I tried this afternoon and seems to me hitting Send Table after accepting trims works. Send Map works too. I figure Send Map is for sending a map to the desktop and Send Table is for sending the table you are looking at to the map...but it appears either one works to finalize applying your trims to the fuel table. LOL they probably are two starting points that follow the exact same digital path. Probably could have just put one big SEND button there to do for both tables and maps.
SO----here's an interesting little story (at least I think it is). I completed my 40% column tonight after about 3 runs. Only cells that needed work were in the 4000-6500rpm range. IDK how high in the rpm range I went but I was not getting any trims above 6500 which seems to be pretty much the case with all after the 15% column. Here we go, last run...NICE straight road, very open on both sides, can see quite well, quite a safe place in case of deer, no homes or farms, no cars. I hit it in 5th gear. Opened to ~56% TP and held it on, I see my shift light set at 8000rpm has been blinking for a couple seconds, I hear rpm--is it still rising? I'm in a tuck....I figure I must have come close to hitting my peak rpm and max TP but hard to tell with the laptop blown back against the chin of my helmet. Would like to hold throttle for a couple more seconds just to be sure I went all the way BUT---here comes a car. -----SHIT! here comes a car (you know what's coming, don't you--) I've been doing my best to be nonthreatening to other motorists. I wait behind them and I don't pass. I don't do a speed run if there's a car ahead of me or coming at me. Basically, I'm trying to not have people see this. SO---here comes a car. let go of the throttle, full decel feather brake. HOLY F-ing shit out of luck!!! Yep. Cop. Sheriff coming right at me and cruised right past. I think I remember looking at the tach and seeing it wind back to about 7. Sure I must have had it at 9. Why did he not turn around and come after me? IDK. Would have been very easy to keep me in sight for a couple miles. Lots of straight road after that.
So I took my trims and came home. Odd feeling after cheating death (or disaster in this case)...it makes me want to go a little crazy. I had a spirited ride through the twisties and stopped to accept my 40% trims which were all 2s. DONE.
I have some work to do on the clutch. Shift star, oil pump cover and HD clutch springs. I might slow it down for a while.
