Power Commander V help

[KhromalusionaL]

Guys,

I haven't been on the forum for about a year and wow has the look changed. Last year I installed a set of VH pipes and a PCV with autotune and I am having a hella of a time finding a map that works. I have ran all of the PC supplied maps and one from a forum member and i either get a great map that sucks the gas down or a crappy econo map that stumbles and jerks while cruising. I have not yet done the PAIR delete but I am now planning on it. Does anyone know where or who makes the block off plates and hardware? Second does anyone have a map or know how to convert PCIII maps to V's? I would like to try the wallys smoothness map out. Any help is appreciated.

If you have the PCV with autotune, then you get to make your own custom map. Nothing will be better than that.

I do not have a PCV (not available for 1st gens) but my experience has been similar to yours. If you want smoothness, you give up mpgs, and vice versa.

What map utility do you use to send maps to the PCV? I would imagine that you could just manually copy the cells from the Wally smoothness map and create your own for the "V", but my experience is that the smoothness map doesn't go far enough. I run a different (custom) map that is much smoother than the Wally but does give up a couple of mpgs.

It doesn't matter at all what map you upload into the PC5, the autotune will over-write it depending on the set target A:F ratios.

Have you read the instructions for both the PC5 and the Autotune, the autotune autotunes your bike.

You set your own A:F ratios you want to run, say between 12 rich to 16 lean.

You must turn on the autotune function on in the PC5 menu.

Make sure you haven't got an error light on the PC5 program display and when it's autotuning another indicator light is displayed.

When your happy with the bikes A:F performance you can accept, save/write the fuel map, another menu function, then turn the function off if you wish.

The easy way is just remove all the air induction system including the solenoid and fit some rubber blanking off caps.
You will need 4 X 1/2 inch caps, and one 5/8 inch cap care of any auto accessories dealer
The 5/8 cap is for the air box, the 1/2 for the cam covers.

To answer the question on PC3 to PCV map conversion - The utility does provide the ability to load a PC3 map - but the ones i got from here - could not be saved as PCV - so i just created a brand new one and copy and pasted the fuel mapping over to a PCV - I used the calculated smoothness map as my model. I was too cheap (read - being audited by the missus) to get the autotune but will do later

When i get home if someone wants it i can upload the PCV map so that others can download it - save doing all the copy and pasting. But as mentioned i assumed an autotune required no Mapping as it was "auto"

GBJbany,

Shoot me a message I would love to try out your map.

I think that what Queensland Ken said about Autotune over riding whatever map is in the system is correct. Of course, I could be wrong.

I bought the PC-V without Autotune and it came with a custom map from Fuelmoto. The smoothness I was looking for is there with almost no loss of economy.
