Power Commander 111 Problem ??
after doing research on the power commander i finally pulled the trigger and ordered one form fuel moto..last night i hooked it up as per directions did everything but set throttle position..bike ran for 30 seconds and cut off...flooded the hell out of it, raw fuel dripping out of exhaust....just my luck..unplugged everything and hooked it back to stock and still it will not crank..checked fuses and pulled the plugs, they have a stong smell of gas on them. This morning i went out and tried to crank and still it just turns and wont fire..am going to buy new plugs today and try that..called Keth at fuel moto yesterday he said he has never heard of anything like that happening. i sure hope i haven't fried the ecm,well i guess after i get the bike running i will hook the PC up to the computer and see if they can tell me what the problem is..kind of gun shy now and dont know if i should do a PC. Has anyone had this problem and any ideas of what else to check....thanks

Bad fuel mileage
Installed a Fuel Moto PC III on my father-in-laws '07 Ultra 2 weeks ago and he's lost 1/2 his fuel mileage. We rode maybe 40-50 miles yesterday and he burned through 1/2 tank of fuel. Can the fuel be adjusted on the PC III? Haven't delved into it yet.

All I could think was wow, just wow. Throwing parts in a bike without understanding what they do is just crazy...wow. I put new tires on my bike but didn't put any air in them, gosh I just don't understand why it doesn't ride the way it used to.

Never had the problems described - what map did you install? What adjustments did you make? Mine was pretty much plug and play - I did have to select the map for the mods made.

Oh well.

The PCIII and PCV are both plug-and-play, with only one added task of checking the throttle position. I would check your ECU connectors and make sure none of the pins has been bent. This can happen if you're not careful when pulling them apart and re-connecting them.

it was supposed to be a simple plug and play.. told them what my bike had on it pipes/ac.. dont know what happened.Keith says that i may have got a bad one 1 out of 1000...(whish i had that luck with the lotto) he said it probably hung the injector open and flooded the engine..it sounded like it wanted to crank this AM, he said new plugs will fix the problem i sure hope so...i will check the oil..thanks for that heads up....so much for this being simple
