Nope, he just installs the map. Every bike is different, so the throttle position must be set on each bike. It's the only way your bike will know how to reference the throttle position on the map.

You know, it's interesting how many of us don't realize that the throttle position MUST be set when installed. Dynojet needs to change their installation instructions to make this clearer. No since in it being missed so much.

Yep, count me in that bunch. Installed PCIII from FuelMoto last week and it's running so good I almost hate to mess with it- but I will. Will get that done today beforegoing anywhere.

I've put about a thousand miles on my bike since I installed the PCIII and I didn't adjust the throttle position. I went ahead and did this weekend and it was defaulted at 5% . . . simply made the 0 adjustment and all is good.
