I finally got around to doing the PV3 tuning. I got the tuner late last fall. I dug into the instructions and various software last night and today did the pairing to bike + tuning with the map that Mr. Hulkss provided at the top of this thread. Doing this overwrote the Anthony tune I'd previously had. The Anthony tune was a good improvement and I still had one more update I could do with him, but I decided to go this route. I think I was probably a little conservative in what I asked Anthony to do for the initial tune, thought it was still a substantial improvement from stock.
I find the Hulkss tune to be a nice improvement. There are subtle differences across the modes, gears, and throttle positions. Overall, I really like the throttle behavior and how power rolls on or off. I only did it for a 30 minute ride today (40 degrees and windy) but I'd call it "livelier with more control." One thing I found is that it was easier to manage the throttle while covering the front brake lever. I did an initial ride around my yard and found the Touring mode much more controllable at slow speed. On the road, both Touring and Sport mode felt very good, with some clear distinction between them, as one would expect.
I can also tell that I'll need to tune myself to match the new tune. But two thumbs up and many thanks to Mr. Hulkss for taking the time doing the deep dive and sharing. I'm going to ride a while with this tune before thinking about changes.
Cheers,
