Default PCV question

Guys I have searched and have not been able to find the answer so here goes. I got a PCV for my 07 Train. The maps for my 07 Train are for the PCIII. Can I use a map for a 09 Train off of Power Commanders web site? Will this work for my bike or am I SOL? Got the PCV hooked up and now need to throw a map on it.

If it makes any difference I have V&H Short Shots and SE Heavy Breather with Stock ECM.

Thanks in advance. Might should have got with Fuel Moto! My bad.

I think the PCV has an extra throttle position column so I would think it wouldn't be correct.
Try comparing any PC111 map to a PCV and take a look.

I have been using the PCIII for over a year now. My bike is a DBW so the PCV was not compatable. The PCV web site claims for 09 and up so I'm not sure it will work at all, even if the connections are the same. After looking at the 09 maps M15-004-077 or M15-004-078 look close. My concern would be the sensor differences between the 2 model years among other things. I had very good results with the PCIII. The map I used didn't match my setup exactly (different cams) but it was close and worked like a charm, I made a few adjustments to smooth out the transition from 30-40% throttle but that was it, until I changed my baffles. Spent a lot of time tweeking to get the engine back to a happy tune. I have since changed to a different tuner. Hope this helps a little...

Default You need to call the folks at powercommander

The PCV has been retrofitted for the older bikes but evidently they haven't updated their website to show that. They will send you a map based on your config or you could just take it to a shop that has a dyno tech that actually knows what he or she is doing.

The PCV will work on older than 09 bikes. Several here are using it along with autotune.

When you open the PCV software, click on "file" on the top left corner them click on import PCIII map. From there find where your PCIII map is and open it.
