Default RE: low end engine lag

i got the pc3 installed yesterday, and the bike actually still started. i cant tell a big difference yet, but i havent done anything except try to mess with the buttons to lean or enrich the fuel. since they dont have a jardine map, ill try to find a pipe that is similar and use that map. im about to check out the website now and see what they have

i added the micron map. it was sooooo easy and took about 2 minutes. i havent ridden it yet, but im going out right now. i did notice that it smoothed out the idle. im pleased so far.

i dont know what im looking for to change. i recalibrated the throttle position while running. loaded the micron map. and about instalation, i found that it helps if you have a spare set of hands. i took a very fine blade screwdriver and put it under the clip to release it. then i had a friend that was holding the tank up and he pulled the old injectors off. i still hold the opinion of the installation instructions being really bad. i havent checked the website for pics yet, but i managed to get it all. thanks for all the help. i still dont know much about how i will need to tune it. so im always looking for help.

Did you disconnect the battery for thirty minutes? That will reset the computer so that the bike will accept the new mods. I am probably going to get flammed but here is how it was explained to me. A stock bike already broken in will operate just fine. Add a aftermarket muffler (which is suppose to increase air output) the bike will still think it has the stock pipe on and run normally. Performance is not what you expected so blank out the brain and make it relearn how to operate with the new mod. In your case do it after every mod you perform. Maybe somebody with technical knowledge can enlighten me but it make sence and wasn't that hard to perform.

I'm only aware of a few expensive cars that "learn" how you drive ... didn't know any bikes had that technology. Pulling the battery for 30 minutes certainly won't hurt anything but I have doubts that it'll really help either. Mine has really come alive on the low end since removing the hardware flapper stuff.

i think the lag had something to do with the little flapper in the OEM pipe. i am thinking about taking the bike in to get it dyno'ed since the pipe and power commander addition.

You did put the mid pipe provided by Jardine. With thier pipe you will eliminate the exhaust valve.

right. i meant that the lack of the valve (backpressure) is what started the whole thing, when i changed the pipe
