I hear a lot of folks on this website say that you have to set your trottle position when installing the PC. What exactly does that mean and how do you go about doing it? Sorry if thats a stupid question.

Hook you laptop to your bike and start it. Look at the RPM at an idle. If it says 0 on the throttle position at idle they you are good. Sometimes when you change to a new MAP it will change to a 5 or some other number. This will make it run poorly. Rarely happens and is easy to fix. Just check it. If it does not say 0 then follow the reset procedure. Procedure is easy. Then you are set.

To reset the throttle position click on Power
Commander Tools and then select Set
Throttle Position.
To reset both the closed and open throttle
positions, first make sure that the bike is
communicating to the computer, then click on
Reset. Twist the throttle wide open and
release. Now click OK.
To reset only the closed OR open positions
click on the arrows next to the respective
boxes and then click OK.

while you're doing that, you may as well set the 100% as well. not as critical as the 0% throttle, but still helps nonetheless.

Yes, do both. What PI$$es me off about it this. They don't include any directions with the PCIII to tell people about the throttle position settings, I don't get it? My zero throttle position was at 6 before re-setting it. It throws your map all out of wack.
