RE: Stage 1 / PC3 question
i dont have the stage 1 ecu, but do have a pc3...i looked at the 2 maps for my bike, one with and one without the stage 1 ecu...i looked at the #s on both and to maybe get better gas milage i was thinking of downloading the stage 1 map, figuring it wouldn't richen up the bike as much...i guss i;m assuming that the HD downloaded stage 1 ecu "map" already richens it up

RE: Stage 1 / PC3 question
You are correct, the stage 1 download is not needed to run a PCIII. BUT I had the Stage 1 done on my bike when I changed to the Stage 1 A/C and added the WP pipes. I later added the PCIII. The point I am making is, if my PCIII fails on the road I will still be running richer than stock. Running stock ECM and Stage 1 A/C and aftermarket pipes would cause you to be running way to lean. Which can do damage if ridden to many miles that way. Hope I did not confuse things.

I got that part thanks...I guess my q is, if i run a stock ecm with a stage 1 pc3 map, will it be rich enough?..I know i could just get a dyno but i'm being cheap...using the stage 1 pc3 map I'm trying to lean it a little (not too much) for better gas milage, and without having to mess around with tweaking the non stage 1 map
i could always try it and see what happens...lol

The best thing for you to do, IMO, is to leave the ECM stock and add the PCIII with a map appropriate for your hardware. If you purchased it from Fuel Moto it should already be preloaded with a map for your hardware. If not, try one from the PC site, although I'm not sold on the accuracy of those.
