Default PCIII help needed.

Help needed. I took my 06 Heritage in and had the PCIII remapped at a local shop. it seems to run good, but i get 29 miles a gallon and dont seem like it has the power it should for everything that was done to it before i bought it. I went on the website (dynojet power commander) and i could not even find where to download a map for it. I did hook my computer up and copied the map that they had put in the bike. they said that a dyno shop did the last map and it was way off what they put in it. I dont know who was correct. i can add the info for my bike if that will help. thanks

Did they Dyno it or just upload a canned map? Sounds like you're running rich based on gas mileage, I would take it to a shop that has a dyno and a tech certified on the power commander. Canned maps can only get you close, a dyno tune with a good tech will get you dead on.

bluntly a map is not like a good tune.
Some times they work and some times they don't..

lots of people buy the PC so they wont have to dyno them trying to save $$$, but they end up having to get one to get their bike running good.

Either take it back to the place who worked on Ur bike and work with them or ????

The Heritage maps were a bit confusing to try and come across for 2006. However, the below says it's all the maps for a 2006 Softail. You can play around with the selections to see if you get a better fit for your components. I thought about PM'ing Fuelmoto as well to see if they have a map/recommendation for better mileage, but I'm not sure if that's too tacky since I didn't purchase the PCIII from them (used local dealer instead as I didn't know about Fuelmoto at the time). Good luck and let us know how you come out!
