I got the same story in my local stealership. They service writer went as far as telling me that they will not touch a bike, for any issues, that have a PCx on it, and they'll void your ESP. And they wonder why I give them so little business. Honestly, I had to try not to laugh when they told me the PCIII would fry my electronics. I just told them if that happened I would just remove the PCx and drop it off with them, since they would not be able to tell it was on there. It is sad, but seems to be almost common out there.

Just use the 02 sensors as plugs. I left mine installed and even routed the wires as if it were stock, but unplugged them under the cover as you should with the PCV. Never had a problem with any Dynojet product from the old carb enrichening kit to the PCV today. Nary an issue!

Left my o2 s in place also and just unplugged the plugs under the side cover. Thought if I were out on a trip or ride and had problems with the PCV, I could always just pull it out and plug in the o2s and be on my way. Hey, even the PCs can fail.

Yeah, sorry about the typo. I meant '06-'09.

I do my own maintence, installed PCV and autotune ,had a mufflershop weld in wide band bungs a few inches south of exhaust hole into the V&H headers, and my harley now has 5 mph better milage and with my pc, I change settings for power or two up riding with gear. Best damn match up for a 96 inch Vtwin. AND, when I put on the 103 kits, I don't have to change a damn thing. PCV and autoune will run my set up just fine. A SERT will revert to stock settings right after you take it off the dyno. You would never know it either. SERTS are for stock harley screamin eagle upgrades set for catylitc converters in your exhaust and SE cams. I run Andrews cam and will never have my Harley in the local dealer again, for the same lies and BS the OP stated. My dealer said they would void my warrenty too. I will see them in court if they ever deny warrenty coverage on my bike because of my mods. Hell, They sold me the intake and exhaust system. They haven't a leg to stand on in court.

Hey TRIPLESHOT, I really don't know why the Dealers have a Vegeance against any products other than Harley products. And to void your warranty, that's a whole lot of BS! It's like "Buy our parts or we won't work on your bike".
Good info on your PC & auto tune!
