Can't answer your questions about the problem with your pcv, but Jamie sells them pre-programmed for just under three bills. Unless you bought your present one from him I don't believe he'll work on your existing one (if that's even possible, they usually just throw the bad ones out and replace it). We had a conversation about him programming people's PCV's before, and he told me that he didn't want to be responsible for something that other people have programmed and he hadn't sold. I had to respect his point.

i got it from fuel moto, i talked with them a couple a days ago they are great and very curtious, they sent me a map for the rineharts, but like i said i hooked it up today to see if it still worked, wonder if it blanked out due to shelf life, that it was programmed by fuelmoto for rush slip ons and hd breather, which are still on the bike, im hoping not having to buya new one, but with the crossbacks i want the bike to run like the eagles from a superbowl ring

When did you buy it? If I remember correctly, the manufacturer's warranty is one year, but I think Jamie ads an additional year of warranty if you buy it from him. If that's the case, and it's less than two years old he'll replace it for you (I assume). And if you're just switching pipes that shouldn't be a factor in it not working. If it's in working order your bike would still be running, just not as well. Are you sure mice or something didn't get into it while it was sitting on the shelf?

Your 1st step is to call fuel moto and get some questions answered and go from there. In my experience they r a great company and will try to help u out if they can. Good luck and keep us posted on what u find out.

I was just clarifying that you weren't advocating a dealer's Stage 1 re-flash, because as far as I'm concerned, it's a complete waste of money if you intend to do any further engine upgrades in the future.
