RE: PC III Startup question
Thanx all for the tips. How critical is it to set the closed throttle position? Can I take it for a short hop b4 doing this? I don't have a laptop; bike is in garage, p.c. in basement office. I'm trying to figure out how to get the two together. I believe this has to be done on the bike.
Anyone got a 50' usb cable?

USB cables carry power in addition to signals. Therefore, 10ft is usually their max length. Anything beyond that requires hubs that boost the power back up. You could always carry your PC into the garage and set it up, a PITA for sure!

To set your throttle position, make sure you have a brand new 9vlt Alkaline Battery. The PCIII will suck that baby down fast if it is not new. Laptop is the easiest. Plug USB into PCIII and then plug in the battery. Turn Ignition swtich to ON and make sure the kill switch is on RUN.
The throttle position should show on the home screen. Cycle your Throttle to see if the value changes. If you are reading the throttle select the tool to set throttle position. Set the Zero value and then the 100%value, accept the changes. If you do not see throttle values, check your 9vlt battery and your kill switch. Try seeing if you can see the values with the bike running.
Hope that helps

+1 Wallyn.
That was just the info I was looking for. I knew that USB cables are short (under 10') for a reason. I'm still trying to get a buddy over with his laptop. Moving my p.c. to the garage to do this isn't really an option.

RE: PC III Startup question
I know this is old news but I am trying to decide whats best to beat the heat on my 07 ultra. I am planning on installing fuel management system just trying to decide which one. I have already installed V&H slip ons, oil cooler, stage 1 and syn 3. Helped a little but still hot so I guess I am forced to spend the $$ on a fuel maagement system. Any thoughts on which is best and should I still get aftermarket O2 repalcements are can I leave the OEM ?

Something I saw at Radio Shack today... a way to extend USB via a Cat5 cable. Could buy one of these, and a long network cable...
