my PCIII opinion

[818Guy]

I'm talking about the zero throttle position and changing those numbers. It's the left side vertical column in the program. If your bike is fine with them at zero, IMO I would not change anything. Again, I have the AE.

818Guy, Thanks for clarifying. This might be related. While my PCIII runs great with the stock map. I may be sensing a slight lean surging condition around 3800-4300 rpm at about 75-85mph. This is mostly at sea level, when it is in the low 60's, so the air is dense, exacerbating any lean condition. When the temps go up, I think the condition goes away. Or when I am at 65mph or 85+ mph, or accelerating mildly, the condition goes away.

I was debating putting the laptop, hooked up on the tank bag, so I could get an exact reading on the throttle position, so I could richen it up at the right settings.

Anybody else sense a lean surge under these conditions? I was debating richening the 2% and/or 5% column at these RPM's, but maybe the 0% column needs some attention as well. Any ideas?

FYI, the bike is a stock 06 with stock PCIII map

Please let us know your opinion after you change the throttle setting to "17".

I dunno, should I post a novel like you did with my turn-by-turn route and experience in each gear?

If you can write in detail...it's OK cause the rest of us don't have ADD. :lmaosmiley: :******:

I don't think tweaking the 0% throttle column will do anything for your lean surge. I also don't think that tweaking this column would have any effect on anyone's mileage, unless they figured out a way to ride around with the throttle fully closed. The only things that it should do is effect the on/off and off/on throttle transitions and also effect the engine braking effect under trailing throttle.

You are probably right that to get the correct throttle column you'd need to either hook up a laptop or palm pilot, or take a guess. You could also try bumping the buttons as they effect several columns at once.

I have not yet installed mine (just bought it). My primary goals will be to eliminate the lean surging at cruising speeds and improve the on/off/on throttle transitions.
