Default power commander installed correctly?

I have a 2010 nightster, this weekend i installed v&h sideshots, se heavy breather, and a power commander v. I got my PC from fuel moto so it had a canned map. Installing the exhaust and aircleaner was pretty straight forward, but im not sure if the power commander was properly installed. The green light is on when the bikes on and when i hook it up to the computer it shows me the rpms and throttle %. If it is responding to this information does it mean that the fuel management is working as well. (i called dynojet and the tech didnt really help me at all) This was my first time ever installing a PC and despite everyone on the forum saying how easy it is to install for me it was the most confusing thing!

How is the bike running? If the bike is running ok and you only have one green bar lit of the PC module while at idle you should be ok...if you have more than one bar at idle you might have to adjust the throttle postion with your laptop hooked up to the scoot...it's very easy...there is a ton of info on this forum to walk you through it. I posted one on the Dyna forum and it details setting your throttle position. Do you have one green bar at idle only?

If the green light is on when the bike is running and it is showing active data in the PC-V software everything is install and working properly
