PC V question
I just got my PCV and stage 1 se air kit today from fuel moto only problem i was having is trying to wedge the connection between the battery and the main harness. After alot of pushing I managed to fit it in BUT the tray wont sit right on the battery I ended up trimming the tray to fit aroound that connection. Anyone else run into that problem?

I had the exact same problem. Still not happy with the way I have routed the looms. I'll change it next week when my mufflers come in.
I looked on PowerCommander's website at an '09 Installation video, and the guy slips a few plugs out of the way, pushes the main loom connection down in the space between the battery and frame, puts a couple small plugs back in their original location and is done. Took about a minute for him. I tried to do it before seeing the video and without moving any of the other connections that are in the same vicinity. Looks like I will need to move those to make it fit like they say it will fit.
Good luck on yours and I'll post back about mine next week. I do love this PCV.
Take care,
Dave

yes, i had same problem.. i cut out a knotch out of the tray so it would sit back in orginal position. i couldnt get my seat on if i didnt knotch the tray.. my worry is having the connector right against the battery and fram. its real tight.. i hope it dont crack the big OEM connector... i have the ABS option on my 2008.. it is a tight fit...

I had that problem. I pulled the plug down and placed it under the right side cover. I wire-tied it to the front of the box under the right cover. In my case, that was much better than cramming it in front of the battery.

Lass - you nust not have ABS if you were able to put it under the side cover?
