Default PCIII setup ?

Got one today. Easy to program and set up with the map I need right here on the couch. Installed the new Accelerator pump feature and enabled the extended rev-limiter. But, I see there is a "Set Throttle Position" setting, and I assume this has to be done after connected to the bike??? dumb question, but whats the easy way to set this component up?

It's in the user manual. You can get the pdf from powercommander.com if you didn't get a copy with your PC.
Yes, you have to be connected to the bike.
To reset the throttle position click on “Power
Commander Tools” and then select “Set
Throttle Position.
To reset both the closed and open throttle
positions, first make sure that the bike is
communicating to the computer, then click on
“Reset”. Twist the throttle wide open and
release. Now click OK.
To reset only the closed OR open positions
click on the arrows next to the respective
boxes and then click OK.

Thanks for the help. It was late and I guess I missed it someplace in the manual. I'll install it in the bike tonight and give it a shot.

Ride it to get the engine warm first. Only need to do the closed throttle setting. I think mine was at 6%.

God Bless and ride safe,

Got it installed on the bike tonight. I've got a new Softail Custom and it was a bitch to get that thing installed in there. HD could not have packed anything else in that battery compartment I don't belive. But its on and my new V&H Big Radius are on along with the SE Air Kit, but it'll be tomorrow before I give it a test run. It late and 15 degrees outside, so I am going to have a big margarita and call it a night!

Ride it to get the engine warm first. Only need to do the closed throttle setting. I think mine was at 6%.
DynoJet tech support told me the full-throttle setting was just as important. All you have to do is click the "Reset" button and blip the throttle to 100% very quickly and it'll set both 0% and 100%. Here's the description in the manual:

To reset both the closed and open throttle positions, first make sure that the bike is communicating to the computer, then click on “Reset”. Twist the throttle wide open and release. Now click OK.

Might as well do both, as it isn't any more trouble.
