Tune PCV without autotune

No need for the bike to be running, but just connect the PCV to the computer via USB. I haven't done this with the basic PCV in quite some time, but IIRC when you load the second (economy) map it should ask you whether you want it saved as Map 1 or Map 2. You can load either map corresponding to either switch position.



The PCIII needed to be powered by either the bike or a 9V battery, but the PCV can be powered by USB only.
 
subscribed - got my switch installed - will include a photo for others to see.. used a simple STDP switch justed under seat near tank.
 
I'm assuming that Map 1 is what is loaded now (with the switch open) and Map 2 corresponds to the secondary map that I will be loading and running when the switch is closed. Hopefully I have no problems loading the map and it works great.
 
Would you give us a tutorial on loading the maps when you get finished? I'm going to do this for a friend with a PCV (no AT) soon and I would like to do it without trial and error. I did this with the PCIII and multifunction hub, but it doesn't work the same as the PCV.
 
I got my second map loaded today and got the wires for the switch connected to the PCV. Once good thing is that the PCV software backs up your maps when you connect to the unit. Before you install the second map, make sure to enable the switch "Select Power Commander Tools Configure Map Switch". Open the second map, and then press the Send Map button in the lower left of the screen. It will ask you which map you want to send (1 or 2 with 1 being the map loaded already by FuelMoto). It will also give you some error messages asking to make sure you want to do this because Autotune is not available if you do.....
Works great, now I just need to put some miles on to see how my fuel economy has improved.
