Default pcIII question

&nbsp\\; Does removing the PCIII have any adverse affects to the ecm. I'm looking to go back to the stock setup.&nbsp\\;The bike came with only Sampson drag pipes added and the PCIII. The OEM pipes are going back on. I know I"m in the minority here, I just prefer a stock setup.

No.&nbsp\\; The PCIII does not make any permanent changes to your bikes configuration.&nbsp\\; Remove it and the ECM&nbsp\\;system will be exactly as it was before the PCIII.&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;Thanks for the reply. Would riding it a short length of time (50 miles) with the stock mufflers on, do any damage to the motor, til I get a chance to remove it?

All you have to do is pull the sidecover, disconnect the harnesses, put the bike harness back into the ECM, pull your O2 eliminators and reconnect the O2 sensors. Should take about 3 minutes on the side of the road. You can pull the PC-III out later.

no, as a matter of fact, you could put the bike back into stock configuration in ref to pipes and air cleaner and get a map for the pciii that would richen up the fuel mixture a little bit and help it to run cooler.

The fully-stock engine package has got plenty of fuel in open-loop operation. Allowing O2 sensor operation (assuming current model) will cause removal of any extra fuel provided by the PC-III. It would cause removal of that same proportion of fuel from the open-loop areas. Not good. It would also screw with the adaptive fueling capabilities, which are the main selling point of allowing closed-loop operation.

It's an 06 model. Did the 06's have 02 sensors?
