WHAT?!? I can't believe a competent tech would have the ***** to suggest such a thing...if the USB portworked for you for the canned downloadthen therewas nothingwrong with it when you brought it in...I'd tell that SOB techthat HE (not Dynojet)owes me a NEW PCIII for fecking up the USB port![:@]
Anyway, his solution is for me to lie to Dynojet and say the port has never accepted a USB cable and was damaged from the factory, and try to get a replacement.

As far as a dealer installed "custom" map. I am going to pass. I have an '06 which doesn't utilize O2 sensors to fluctuate the A/F ratios base upon the given ambient air temp. This means if I spend say $700 on a full blown dyno "tweak-n-tune", my engine will be making peak hp at whatever ambient temp my dealer tuned at. So if it was 75F when my dealer tuned my engine, when I go for a ride late in the fall, my engine will be running lean, and NOT making peak hp. Same goes for if I take a ride on a humid 90F day, now it's running rich. I have a simple street driven motorcycle, if it running perfect, and making good hp, i'm happy. Not worth $700 to tune every last hp...

RE: PCIII custom mapping, worth it?
I have my PCIII mounted behind the rock guard and I don't see how the tech could see into the USB port with it mounted on the bike. Fortunately there is a reallygood guy who runs aHarley accessories shop in town who is alsoa certified Dynojet tuner, and has a dyno, and asked me to bing it by and he'll check it out. The bike runs well it seems, but the dyno run showedperfect on a/f ratio until 2500 rpm and then dropped to between 11:1 and 12:1 for the rest of the run. It only made71.15hp peak so even though it feels like it's running well, it's reallytoo rich.
