Default PCIII plug smashed!

Well, I had one of those stupid moments today.... one of my connectors (that I not carefully stuffed down behind the fuse box) got smashed by the swingarm. Gotta call Dynojet tomorrow to see about getting my programmer repaired, and order a deep ECM tray. Others have mentioned that their PCIII's came with the ECM tray. Not sure why I didn't get one. Probably because I tried to save a few bucks buying on Ebay, instead of sticking with a reputable dealer like one of the site sponsors here. Lesson learned.

Anyway, thought I'd share my stupidity with y'all. :P

should not have been close to the swing arm as there is a hole already where the alarm cable went thru. the try came with the older bikes. now is a great time to get a thundermax with auto tune and replace the stock ecm. check the used parts forum and save about 40%
