I picked up a PCV and installed it last weekend. I downloaded the map that Power Commander recommends for Cobra Swept and Spike intake (closest to what I have). I was not overly impressed. I downloaded the one you shared here and got noticeable improvements. I wanted to say thanks for sharing them. I tried searching the forums for any new Maps you might have made but didn't find anything. If you have done any tinkering since this map I would be more than happy to check it out if you're willing to share. Thanks again!

The V.2 has been the last and final iteration I have and I still use it to this day. Enjoy!

I installed my PCV awhile back and have an early report here to give.

It seems quite different than the Fi2000R which I was running, the bike now seems quieter while I "Putt" around the city streets, the Fi2000R seemed to have more of a booming sound all of the time.

The low speed throttle handling is different, and the shift points are now in different places, which isn't too big a deal, it's more noticeable when carrying a passenger and cruising through the hilly back-roads.

On starting the bike up during some local errands, the bike coughed and died just after an easy exit from a parking space, it almost went down, right there in front of some pedestrians.

It obviously has a different way to meter the fuel on take off.

But out on the highway I was rolling along at about 55 - 60 and some dork was in a hurry and pulled out in front of me, then drove 45-50, I couldn't pass for about a mile but when I could I dropped it down into 3rd and the bike lunged forward like some double pumper four barrels kicked in, and did it speak, it never had that tone as stock or with the Fi2000R.

The rest of the ride I was out raising hell, then that dad gum yellow fuel light came on way out in the middle of nowhere, closest gas was about five miles behind me, or eighteen ahead of me! About-face.

So the final test is going to be when I run alongside my friend's Tour Glide, and see how much faster I am now than I was before. It should be fun, I didn't tell him I put the PCV in

Have fun with that set up Bob your buddy will be surprised. They now make one of those with an auto tune and that should be pretty easy to get the right set up for your bike.

I've got a question and can't find any real answers searching the forums or just googling for that matter. I just got my PC V (no auto tune) on last week and just left a zero map in but removed the Rev and speed limiter. It felt more responsive on the top end. I will have my SLK's (Savages) in next week and I have the kury Velociraptor already on the bike. I would like to eventually load two maps, one for everyday good MPG and then one for "hot rod" in case the need every arises.

I'm techie so I look forward to experimenting but I want a "safe" map to start with and by using the switch for two maps I can play with one and if it isn't working or I really am off in my experiment, I can flip back and get back home to try another. I live on some back roads that have a lot of loose gravel on them so i have to go about 8 miles before I can hit good clean roads and highways to test my maps.

My question is, how much does the various options (e.g. exhaust and intakes combinations) make to the maps? I ask because of course the dynotech site has different maps for different combos. My thought pattern is, intake has a max CFM due to bore of the intake as long as air box can provide this (which all seem to do) then no change from intake. Now exhaust, a bit tricky because of the options but free flow of any type/design should be pretty close so then it just comes down to bike characteristics but are those so great as to effect motor performance or PERCEIVED motor performance .

thanks for the input/advice etc. This has been a great forum!

You don't need 2 maps. I purposely built in gas savings at cruise. I went 300 miles to NJ this weekend and got 50mpg on 3 tank fills.always use 91+ octane gas!!

Bob, did you send the form to dynojet to increase your rev limit to 6100? I put the form on my directory.

[Bob J]

Yep I sent the form in and got the code about 10 minutes later.

I don't think the code was accepted by the PCV, because yesterday on a secluded stretch of I-94, the speed limiter still kicked in @ 100MPH :angry:

Back to the netbook and check it out again.

 

[2dirty]

Make sure you config settings were set. Has nothing to do with the maps

I don't recall the actual name,

Well, I bit the bullet today and [finally] purchased the 16-025 PwrCmdr-V.

Map is downloaded and Rev Unlock Request Form will be completed once I get the PCV in-hand.

I want to thank 2Dirty in advance.

Then, there's Tom who planted the damn seed in Rapid City during Sturgis last year.

Next is Roger (4Freese) in guiding me to a killer price and where to find the 2Dirty map for download.

It should be here Thursday and I should have it swapped out with my current Cobra PowrPro Fi2000R Auto-Tuner.

Of course, I will pen a comparison - hopefully similar to Bob's post.

22July, 13:24EDT: Buttoned up and all is running. Next is to ride it by Sunday, at the latest.

NOTE: installing the PC-5, the ground wire can go to the engine ground right near the crank position connector. It's the bolt in Figure K of their installation instructions to the right of the clutch pull. You will see the heavy black wire on that bolt that is the battery line. Otherwise, if you keep the crank position connector attached to the bike frame, you cannot reach the negative terminal of the battery.

 

[2dirty]

Good luck. Things should be great

 

[T Man]

What price did you get it for?

 

[StPeteAPB]

What price did you get it for?

$315 on Amazon via Prime price. It was the last one left, supposedly (we saw that "1 left" thing with a motorcycle seat, right?)

 

[2dirty]

Funny my tuning skills helped me to touch up the fuel map on my Super Blackbird with a PCIII preinstalled by perviouse owner

That thing is a no nonsense monster

 

[StPeteAPB]

I posted an update in my comment (#30 above)

This is an update after finally getting out on the bike for a little bit today ...

NICE!!!

Now, this isn't "turbo charger" fast.

But, there is something missing from the stock and Cobra PowrPro setup.

Hmmmm, something missing ... something missing ...

... delay or lag! That's what's missing and I won't miss that delayed response, for sure.

Thanks, 4Freese, for being there yesterday for my two questions.

Thanks, 2Dirty, for the easy mod.

(Thanks 3LittlePigs ... wherever you are )

Anything else to report Al? it's been a few days. Have you done a MPG test yet?

I just finished a cumulative, mile per gallon test over a few weeks, and have arrived at 48.3 MPG for my PC-V.

Several of the rides were out in the boonies, where the bike was ripping around in third and fourth gears for a good amount of time.

I want to get out on the highway, but the heat & rain have been intrusive.

So, an MPG test is even further out, sadly.

I do notice that the bike seems less labored - as in, it doesn't seem at the end of its rope in each gear.

I guess the RPM extension does that?

My tune is for performance, sound & mileage. Other tuners thought my tune was a bit rich, but they didn't understand I calculated in the fact that everyone uses E10 gas and then the AFR values would make sense. Plus you get that low rpm thump as well as for highway milage, When I rode from VA to NJ and back, straight highway, I hit 50 mph every time, I was extremely pleased with that. Obviously, city/hwy mix varies and now one tends to throttle more as well... ;-) then its 44-48 mpg.

LOL I thought I was the only person that rides the speed limit

DERP!
