Also is it possible that your air-filter is dirty? Have you checked that? Does it need to be cleaned and/or replaced(if it is not of the re-usable type)?

Still thinking out loud.

The exhaust pcv and a/c were all done at the same time over a year ago. After I took the PCV off, I rode about 100-200 miles with it off that week. I know it's not bad gas. Lol I haven't ridden but maybe 50 mikes since putting it back on cause it isn't running right. I really don't want to drop more cash either. Trust me lol

 

Possibly shorted out the PCV, seems I read about someone else having the same issue and they sent the PCV back to Fuel Moto and they replaced it. You should have the software and the usb cable to program the module, should check to to see if you can access the maps, etc. I take it that it is similar to the PCIII. If they do swap it out or you get your unit to work don't be shy to load up the connector with Dielectric grease so it is coming out the back side so you can keep the moisture out of the back side.
I don't think it would be fair to sell something to someone that may be damaged so you should try to get it warrantied if possible.

 

I don't care how good Fuel Moto's customer service is. If they sell something that makes my bike unridable in the wet, no deal. How the hell is "wet" a warrantable failure. If it is screwed I would go with a different brand. Do a search on PCV and wet to see all the failures. Yeah, some dried out and are good now but there are a lot of other choices that can take a dip in the water.

 

I wouldnt try to sell it without the person knowing it what had happened. I guess I will give them another call and see what happens. That thing is just a bitch trying to get it on and off again lol I will let u guys know the update on it. Thanks for all the advice though. If this doesn't work, I guess I will be out $800 bucks for a SERT. Don't think I could go back to another piggy back unit.

 

hey bro,

If this were me...

I would try to work with fuel moto, see if they can replace yours under warranty and/or apply what it cost to a discount on a Powervision. The powervision is NOT a piggy back set up.

Might be worth a try...

Buddy of mine had almost exactly the same issue a couple of weeks back. Same symptoms after a rainy ride.
Turned out he had crud on his throttle position sensor. Cleaned it up and the bike is back to normal.

Could be a 5 minute check worth looking into, good luck.

 

Why is the possibility of getting water/moisture within the ecm/pcV connection FuelMoto's problem? Unless they did the install, it is NOT their issue.

The OP doesn't sound like he's all that good with working on his own ride. So, all this dielectric grease / etc mumbo jumbo sounds like spanish to him.

OP....open up your left side cover and find the big ugly connector. It's about the size of a pack of smokes. Pull it apart. let it dry out. Add some dielectric grease to the connection. It's special grease that won't hinder the flow of electricity. Get it at the auto parts store. Replace connection. Replace side cover. Go ride.

 

I'm supposed to put a rain sock on my air filter when riding in the rain. I got my PCV wet once after I washed the bike with the seat off. It caused the speedometer back light to stay on all the time and displayed the mileage and all that until I dried things out with some canned air. Did not affect the way the bike ran even with all that going on. I got some bad gas once and had the symtoms you're describing. These things have a way of working themselves out sometimes. Good luck to you.

 

I sure wish you guys would stop promoting the use of dielectric grease without explaining the downfalls of using it.

Dielectric grease is a non-conductive, silicone grease used to seal out moisture and, prevent corrosion on electrical connectors. Since it is non-conductive, it does not enhance the flow of electrical current. This makes it an ideal lubricant and sealant for the rubber portions of electrical connectors.
Dielectric grease will melt silicone rubber over time, and should not be used on connectors, such as o-rings, that are made of this rubber.
While the indicated use of dielectric grease calls for it to be used only on the non-metal parts of a connection, it has been shown to be effective at preventing corrosion when applied directly to the metal connectors as well. Care should be taken when using it in this way, because this application can cause the connection to stop working. A common reason for such a failure is that the grease creates a barrier between the two points of contact.
In other words, it should not be used between metal to metal connections. Nothing beats a solid, tight, metal to metal connection.

You really should not need this stuff if you have installed the unit properly, I ran a PC III for about 3 years and never had any issues with water, there are exceptions to everything, but dielectric grease is not a magic potion to be used to cover an improper installation. If you get the connector under the ECM as it states in the manufacturers instructions, I seriously doubt you will have moisture problems.
