ORIGINAL: mmookey

You can go on the Powercommander web site and go to the animated tutorials to get a detail explaination. All you have to do is plug into your PCIII, establish connection with the unit (Key on and Switch to run), go to Powercommander tools, select throttle position and click the < Key. Your display will show 0% at idle. Now your throttle is recalibrated. You can do this with the bike on or off. I wanted a true setting so I did it with the bike running.
Thanks!

I just need to take some time this winter when things slow down and take a close look at everything the PC can do.

hey directions for installation kinda sucks, I thought. Hardest part is getting at the throttle bodies. Solution is to unbolt front bolts for the tank and pull tank back. Good luck!

When pulling the tank use some soapy water on the rubber boot that's around the filler cap -- can be quite a pain in the ****[:@]

I know that Powercommander does not have a custom map for the Jardine muffler. Did you download anything from Powercommander? Sounds to me that now you have to have it dyno.

I'd suggest downloading maps for other slip ons and try them out. Still unsure why your bike lugs. Can you do a burnout on your bike? If so, then next time you launch pretend that you're doing a burnout only don't squeeze the brake.
