Default HELP!!! PCIII TROUBLE

I just installed the PCIII today, along with my new slip-ons and SE air cleaner. I bought the PCIII from Jamie at Fuelmoto... the maps were installed by Jamie prior to me receiving it. The bike is MUCH more responsive... I am happy.

What I am not happy with is that there seems to be a delay, or hesitation, when I hit the throttle (except in first or second gear). WTF!?!?!

Does anyone know how I can fix this? If the maps were installed by Jamie, do I still need to do the 0 throttle setting thing?

Wondering if the problem is that Jamie's map is for Neenah, Wisconsin, but I am in Calgary, Alberta... [/align][/align]I did some checking... Calgary is3553 feetabove sea level, whereas Neenah, WI is only 755 feet above sea level.[/align][/align]I know that when bikes come here, the carb bikes MUST be rejetted otherwise they have poor throttle response.[/align][/align]Could this be the issue? If so, how do I correct it?[/align]

I have the same problem with mine. It has an intermittent stumble when I pull out too.

Yes, you do need to do the 0 throttle adjustment. If that doesn't solve your issue get back to Jamie for assistance.

How do I do this? Do I need a laptop? Could the sea-level thing also be an issue?

There is an upgrade from PC that fixes that program.

Follow the directions and set 0 and full throttle. That may take care of the stumble. Ifnot give Jamie a call and he will answer your questions on altitude.

Ride Safe,

Mike

It's likely your PC thinks it's at 5% or so throttle when the throttle is closed. This throws your maps off completely. You really need to set the throttle positions in the PC. Yes, it requires a computer with a USB connection.

Also, until you reset your AFV you'll have exactly that type of response no matter if your TPS setting is right, just in case you haven't done that yet either.

OK, how do I reset my AFV? Is that what I didtoday when I reinstalled the stock pipes and then rode it for about 30 mins?
