PC-V Install Question
2009 Dyna Low Rider. Just installed a PCV and I'm a bit confused whether to unplug the 02 sensors or do you just unplug them if you install the Autotune kit?
I installed my PC-V at the same time that I removed my rocker boxes (for chroming). When I went to start it, it ran like crap. I thought I had done something wrong during reassembly. But before I got to deep in troubleshooting I unplugged my PC, put it back to stock, started the bike again (ran fine) then plugged the PC V again and all was well.
I don't know why but everything is still good.
Good luck.

BTW..... I was born in Des Moines. Went to Stowe elementary school until we moved to Arkansas when I was about 8 years old.
Took the bike out for a 70 mile spin through some country roads and twisties. Thoroughly impressed with the increased performance with the PC-V. Bike felt really strong and 6th gear is now usable. Running through the twisties in 6th gear where I normally would have been in 4th and 5th and felt like there was plenty of power for accelerating out of curves and down straights. Bike felt comfortable cruising at 60/65 mph, 2500 rpm in 6th. Gas mileage on tank fill up before PC was 39.7. 74.8 miles today and mileage was 39.3. All considered so far I think it was money well spent although I still have some decel popping.

almost all of my decel popping is gone. Exhaust sound changed a bit too, still as loud, but maybe a bit smoother. Today was really the first day I've had it out for any serious ride since I installed the PCV. Throttle response is immediate, and acceleration is just - wow. Hopped on the interstate and was doing 90 in a matter of moments. It very well could be the fact that I'm just thrilled to be back on the bike after winter, but it really does feel like I did some major changes to the engine, more HP and torque combined. I don't regret for one minute spending the 3 bills on the PCV.
Take it for what you will, but I definitely think it was worth the $$$

I love my PCV, it made a huge difference with my pipes and stage 1 ac kit. It feels twice as fast as when the bike was stock. Getting all the wires back in was kinda a pain, but the install took me less than 30 min.
