Default Installing PCIII .......... Seriously???

Easy plug and play deal, but how in the hell can you velcro the unit to the back wall of the frame??? I cant even get my fingers in there with the alcohol swab.
I would like to stick it in there with the USB port facing up but the unit is too wide. If I stick it in with the plug on the side, there is no way to plug it in without taking it back out.
Someday I would like to do it properly but for now I just layed it in there, crammed it down and covered it with the seat. I couldnt wait too ride.

Bike runs like a beast now, almost gave myself whiplash in second gear!!!

Pull out your battery and battery box. This will give you the room you need to manipulate the wiring and get a good install. Take your time.

Oh, do tell. I've been thinking about getting the PC-V, but wasn't sure if it was worth the $$$ over the fuelpak. What were you running, the download? Did you dyno it, or just seat of the pants dyno...

jamie at fuel moto does a great job of pre-mapping the unit if you tell him what your set up is.... he got mine dead on.... course you have to buy it from there, but that will get you any updates you may need in the future if your setup changes...
campared to a power commander the fuelpak is junk no offense, just my honest opinion

By dead on do mean you checked the tune with a wideband?

Jamie got my map all wrong. I had a bad hesitation at about 2000 rpms, **** mileage and my bike generally ran like ****. I was pissed off actually but fortunately for me a friend is an Indy who put my bike on his dyno and fixed me up. 3 hrs on his dyno to get all the excess fuel out. Now my bike runs great.

I stuffed mine under my seat.

On the way to the AC/DC concert here the other night my buddy on his RK decided we needed to race light to light............

Tested him on the first one and then left him for dead once I saw how he was setting up. He hasn't tried me again since

Bike runs great

The instructions for mine had me stick it to the bottom of the ECM. What a cork-sucker!!!! Once I got it in I plugged in the USB cord then stuffed it under the seat for easy access.
