Default PCV problem

Bought a PCV from fuel moto and have had it on the bike for a little over a year now. Well just bought new true dual head pipe for my Vance and Hines slip on's. I got a new download from fuel moto but problem is when I hook up to the PCV it doesn't seem to do anything. It's like it is not even hooked up. I can't put the new download in. Any suggestions? Yes I did have the usb cable pluged all the way in, I tried to push it in tighter but nothing.

Sounds like its time to call Jamie. Did you try a different USB port on your computer? Or maybe a different computer? Might be time to make use of the warranty...

Did you turn the ignition on. Has to have power to fire the PCV up. Just a thought

There are known problems with the CD's that come from Dyno Jet. Download the software from Jamie's web site or Dyno Jet's web site..I'll bet it goes then.

the PCV is powered through the USB cable, no need for the bike power.
