I just installed my PC-V yesterday, ofcourse, I see this thread, go back out to the bike, sure enough, no ENG Temp, RPM, etc... Came to work today, during lunch, went back out with my laptop, took 4 tries before the reloaded FW had a different interface and it all works.

Next, I will be working on getting those stupid wires in for the MAP Switch so I can run 2 MAPs.

I've been right @300(Oil temp gauge in the dash and the digitial one from HD in the oil bag) several times w/my stage 1 download for the PC-V from F/M, Ness AC and Rinehart slipons, not real uncommon for me. I have a HD Prem. oil cooler with the fan that attaches to the back of it from ebay, going to install next after amsoil this week. Mostly ride 2 up. Worries the ***** outta me when F/M says that it's supposed to be 230. Uhhh huhhh.. Afraid to take it to places when it's in the 90's or in a crowd. Gas MPG is right at 38-42. Bike runs great but gets real hot.

 

IMO you should be running no higher than 230°, and that only in heavy summer traffic. Your peak of 300° is just too damn hot by a long shot and you're going in the right direction by installing a cooler. That should get your temps in control and I hope you'll report back the changes you see after the install. I'm surprised you're running that hot with the Fuel Moto setup, as that usually gets OT closer to reality than you're experiencing.

 

Update

It's currently 90 degrees here in North West Arkansas with humidity of 300+ (actually it's about 60%, not too bad right now).

I hooked the PC up and started the bike. It immediately read 87 degrees and quickly climbed to 95 in about 30 seconds. I verified that the auto tune was enabled and went for a short ride (5 miles max). Got back and immediately hooked up the PC again without turning off the bike. It read 237 and rose to 260 in about 1 minute. During that minute I looked at the trim values and they were all still set at 0. I'm going to assume that my ride was too short to make adjustments. I'll on call for work this week and can't venture far from the house so next week I'll take it for a good ride and see what happens.

So yes, I now think the 329 was accurate. Just goes to show how fast the bike can heat up when sitting for a couple of minutes in 90+ degree heat. I need to look into an oil cooler and temp gauge.

 

Thank you for the update, they certainly can get a bit warm in 90+ temps when stationary

 

Had to go into the office today. Rode the Street Glide, about 20 miles round trip. Got home and checked the trim values. The AT had modified them so I'm calling my firmware upgrade a success.

 

I had this problem when I updated soft and firm and added the LCD-200. I think it was because I did not wait long enough to get the loaded signal because the third time I did get the all done pop up and I had all channels.

 

This may be a little off topic, but can anyone tell me if the power commander needs to be hooked up to download the updated firmware? I know it has to be plugged into a laptop to be updated, but does it have to be plugged in just to down load the new firmware?


Reason I ask is because I got a new laptop and downloaded the software from the PC site. I then tried to download the update and it wouldn't open. I thought I would just download it, then update it later when I install my new duals.


Also, what exactly is the difference between the new and old? Do I really need to update it?

 

I did the Firmware update yesterday, was having a issue starting bike with Fuel Injection.. talked to Keith and then atgtempted download. Attached everything I needed to laptop,, everything was ok and firm ware started to upload.. erro and stopped.. knowing I am the one whos luck is not so good I tried it again.. upload finished and started bike up on first try,,, Took for ride and runs smoother and throttle response is even better,, Keith and Jamie have alot of insight on this and other issues so please ask and get info the HD says is Normal.. Idle switch clogging was picked up by Jamie and fixed with cleaner.. thanks

 

My PCV was installed in January 2010, is it necessary to download any of these updates? Thanks
