I think the hesitation is a tuning issue. You have things timed right. If you didn't it would run really sh!tty. The hesitation is fuel related. It's not sumping. When I first did my motor last summer I had a bad hesitation as well. It was fuel. The map I received was heavy on the fuel. The dyno guy fixed the hesitation by removing excess fuel.

 

I didn't install an advance gear. I was sent the wrong part number and haven't had a chance to exchange it for the right one.

Well, I've thought about that too. I just don't have the cash for tuner time.

 

I agree that it is a tuning issue. My bike ran similar to that before the dyno and now it runs great. +1 on the timing, if you were off timing the idle would be really sparatic with rpm's increasing and decreasing at a very noticable rate.

 

Well then I guess I did something right, timing-wise. It does idle pretty smoothly. I was very unsure about getting things in time. This was my first time tearing into a v-twin.

Not sure how I'm going to rectify the tuning issue.

Anyone wanna buy a S&W model 4566 .45acp with 3 +2 clips? lol

I was going to play with the map a little. See if I can't smooth it out a bit. I am going to check the plugs though. Too much fuel would leave the plugs black or showing rich, right?

 

I am pretty amazed at the fact that the 6 cams are fairly popular...and also the pcIII and I can't score a decent map for it.

What a catch-22....I don't have money to get it tuned ($250 or so) but desperately want to spend $400 (or so) on a TTS unit.

 

I haven't looked at a PC in a while but the one on my Ninja had 3 buttons that I could push to play with the settings, are the new ones like that?

 

Paul, I don't know about the V, but the IIIusb does.

You guys were right. It's a map issue. I downloaded a canned map from dynojet for a 2-1 exhaust and SE211 cams and the hesitation is almost gone. It's obviously not optimal but at least now I know it definitely needs to be tuned.

 

...and you can ride it. Another reason I'm glad I joined this forum.

 

Vic
You have the software don't you? Start creating new maps just adjusting different settings and see what happens, you may create the perfect map.

 

I started messing around with that idea earlier today. I'll say this...looking back, I was competent enough to do a cam swap but I think that is where it ends. I'm not a tuner and I definitely don't want to just take stabs in the dark.

I'm going to contact a few shops between Charlotte, Myrtle Beach,Columbia (SC), and Florence to see who tunes PCIIIusb's and what the cost is. If I hear prices of $300 and above I'll just go buy a TTS Mastertune and do it myself.
