Did you zero out the throttle position on the new PCIII to the ECM? If not, to do so click on Power Commander Tools in the program, a screen will come up that says throttle position OPEN and CLOSED....(along with some voltage numbers)... While bike is running Click RESET and then open the throttle wide open for a mili second. Now the throttle position indicator should say '0' as it idles and if you open the throttle wide open it should read '100'....if so your done and all should be good to go.

I'm running the same map, setting throttle position is a must, this should help with the idleing also, get or get someone with a laptop, save yourself a little time and frustration, it also will help if you need to trim the cylinders as I had to do, bike runs great now.....Doc1 helped me on this also..

No, I have not done that as of this post, simply loaded the PCIII per instructions on my laptop, set the throttle position,after the first run it seemed to be a little rich so in speaking with Jamie he suggested I add a little fuel, 5% a minute amount globally and try that. I can't see that much difference in performance and the plugs look about the same. I am not a pro at looking at plugs but they look good and clean to me.The bike runs great though and I have very little popping on deceleration. I am happy with it as of now, will have to see what happens in hot conditions.

I set my throttle position with the bike off but with the ignition on and the run switch in the ON position. That worked for me. As far as starting, I've heard that after you hit the run switch, start it up and do not wait for the pump to stop priming and the engine light to go off. Mine starts fine either way but I've heard some use the former method.

My '07 idles lower, but it changed from closed- to open-loop with the addition of the PCIII. Yours was open-loop before and after, so I'm not sure why it would idle faster unless its a factor of a richer mixture at idle. What does your 0% TP @ 750-1250 RPM's look like? If not zeroes, that could be the difference.

If you don't want the delay at start, try starting before the check-engine light goes out--i.e., immediately after switching on the ignition. Not sure if that will work as it does with my '07, but it's worth a try.

I added the accelrator pump and set it to the exampe of"some racers use", I like it. Go to a flat someplace and do a holeshot run and you will notoce the diference.

Im going to do the trotle position tomorrow, mine runs good but while it always idles it dos so eraticaly, I sometimes have to come to a complete stop for it to idle down.

Explain "trim the cylinders" if you would please. I think I know what it is but have no idia how to acomplish.
