if your running stg1 ,if it does act up it only takes a few minutes to pull it.i also wonder how many blame pc for other unrelated issues.

 

Had a P/C 5 on my 2009 S.G
Did a Screaming Eagle103 stage 3 kit. Put 8600 miles on it without out a ounce of problems.

I am currently having a Screaming Eagle 103 Stage 4 Pro kit installed .
I opted out from the Dealer to use the S.E Race tuner, and they are installing a P/C 5 on my 2012 S.G . Also installing D&D Fat Cat 2-1.
My Dyno Tech here in Ct.[ Dr. Dyno ] Loves the Tunable characters of the P/C 5.

 

Curious to know about the failure rate on the PC3 USB. Put mine on in 08 and 75000 miles still seems ok.

 

3 years from FM and runs perfectly

 

3 years from FM and no issues. Love my PCV. Touch wood no issues in the near future either

 

I had an autotune module fail, never had a problem with the PC-V itself. I prefer the flash based tuners, though. I went to tts a couple of years ago, never regretted it.

 

I have been running a PCV for about 3 years on two different Touring bikes. Not a glitch. I would at the very minimum make sure I had the map that is on the PCV backed up to my computer just in case. You can convert the PCV map to PV map with the Win/PV software using the import tool. I have an Excel spreadsheet that can convert PCV to PV or PV to PCV. It really isn't that difficult. The main thing you need is the stock map for the PV as reference. Not saying it is simple but do able.

 

Dr. Dyno did my tune at Daytona a couple of years back. The map in my PC is his. Great job. Once of the reasons I didn't want to lose the PC if I didn't have to.

 

My Power Commander V recently died after 4 months. Long story short, these guys have the worst customer service I've ever experienced. They are a bunch of clowns. After pissing away $380 on this pos, I then get to deal with their utterly retarded "techs" (Jerry?)and equally retarded customer service (Chris Kelly, Stan Lass). Even if I ever do eventually get this thing back from them, I have no confidence that it won't just suddenly die again. Because I'm sure that their "engineers" are no better than the rest of this scam of a company. I have seen the same story too many times online about them. I suspect they are using components such as caps, LDO's, or FET's which are under-rated and that's why they are failing. But it apparently has been going on for several years and they've taken to action to correct the problems.

So without going into the details, this is my experience with DynoJet. My advice is do not do anything to your motorcycle that requires using any of their products. It may work for a year or it may work for a week, you don't know. But I can tell you, if you are trusting your life to these clown's products, you are on thin ice.

 

Sounds like you are the %1 that manages to screw them up.
