It should be okay to ride on short distances. Just don't ride it at high speeds for long distances or it'll heat up your pipes and turn them color, and a chance that you'll damage your engine from the extra heat.

Failure mode of PCIII?
So what happened to your pc3? Did it just up and die, what was the failure mode? I'm wondering because after about a year, mine sometimes wigs out the idle, and I have to turn the bike on and off for it to fix.

well im not sure what happened but the lights on the face of the pc3 didnt work and the 3 buttons didnt work. also if the pc3 is pluged in the bike wont start but if the pc3 is unpluged the bike will start..thats the only time the bike was started without the pc3 hooked up.. i had it unpluged and running 1 time before but not for every long and i've never rode the bike without the pc3 hooked up..im wondering what the ecm will do or how it will make the a/f be without the o2 sensors pluged in

The first PC3 I got didn't work either (no lights on unit, buttons didn't work, bike wouldn't start). Plug the ECM back in and bike started fine. Sent it back, which was a pain because it was the last thing I bought from American Classice Motors (search them on here and you'll know what I mean). Bought one locally, which was cheaper, and it works great. My guess is something happens during shipping or distribution from Dynojet. Who knows?

well if you change your a/c back so it's not lean you should be fine.. I sent mine back to dynojeyt , because of a failure of firmware, not it's fault was mine , they repaired it free and was a week total time.

I don't think Fuel Moto will support or sell maps unless you buy from them. They aren't in the business of selling maps and don't advertise that they are. They will support you with free maps if you have something they have a map for indefinably it seems if you buy from them. They didn't have a map for my last change so I got one off Power Commander site that works well. Seems they don't have many if any maps for straight pipes sans baffles which is what I'm running, the one off PC website works very well with a slight touch to the settings.
I still love my PCIII and would recommend them as well as Fuel Moto, but you have to be a little flexible or be willing to pop for a tune if you need too. I have been lucky so far and have found maps either from FM or PC that have worked out for me.
Haven't had any issues with mine working except for the 1st month it kept blowing turn signal fuses, found a pinched wire and that stopped.
Good luck, if you already have spent the bucks on the PCII I wouldn't give up just yet, its a good product in most cases.
