i have an '07 sporty with a round air filter on it and screamin' eagle slip-ons installed. i ave a pc3 usb and tried the map for the screaming eagle intake, ans slip-ons and my bike is falling on it's face when i accelerate anyway but easy. Mr. dynojet can you please help me?

Just to make sure we are on the same page, are you using M817-004.djm?

When the bike is at idle does the software show 0% in the % Throttle display?

If you go to "view" then "powercommander info" in the software what firmware version does it show?

Are you only having problems when you accelerate from a dead stop or also if you are at speed and accelerate?

Did you turn the "accel pump" feature on? (if yes, turn it off)

jamesfulmer · 09-16-2009, 05:07 PM

yes that is the map that i am using. the throttle display is at 0%. the firmware is 2.1.1 i am having the stumble problem is more noticeable from a stop, but when i'm moving and role on the throttle i can feel it too. it starts to accelerate then stumbles, then picks back up. the bike is running hotter than usual too.

oh i forgot to say that i don't know what accelerator pump mode is or how to turn it on even

That is really old firmware you have. Let's start by updating that to the latest version 2.2.5.0

You can download it from this page:
http://www.powercommander.com/powerc...downloads.aspx

or directly from this link:
http://www.powercommander.com/downlo...ey_2.2.5.0.zip

Update to this and ride the bike. If you still have issues let me know, but what you are descibing sounds odd. With that map I cannot see any reason it would run hotter. Do you have the O2 sensor bypasses installed? How are you determining what the temperature is to know that it is running hot?

ok if my throttle is stuck at 100% how do i get it to where is acts normal? i went and messed with some crap i'm not going to touch again, but i need to know how to fix it. lol. definently an FNG move.

jamesfulmer · 09-16-2009, 06:07 PM

oh an i downloaded the new firmware, how am i supposed to get that into my power cammander. i'm completely new to this so all the help you are willing to give is welcome

Ok, as far as the resetting the TP% this is what you need to do.

Start bike with software running and PCIII connected.
Click "powercommander tools" then select "set throttle position".
Click "reset" and quickly snap the throttle to the stop and roll off (if you do this quickly the bike will not rev very high)
Then click "ok"

video tutorial here:

For the firmware you will need the 9 volt adapter. You CANNOT have the bike running to do this step.

The file you downloaded needs to be "unzipped" so do this before you begin. Make sure you put the file somewhere you can find it

Plug in the 9 volt adapter and have the software connected to the PCIII
Click "powercommander tools" then select "update firmware".
Select the file you downloaded and click "open"
The firmware should update from there.

well after i reset the idle that i had messed up and updated the firmware on the power commander my bike runs smoother and pulls harder than it did. that's crazy. what exactly is firmware. i mean how could it have that effect? oh yeah, lol, thank you for your help. i'm pretty stoked. it's like i have a brand new bike again.

Firmware is the operating code for the Power Commander. Think of it as Windows for your computer. We all know how a bad version of Windows can make your computer unhappy :-)

Over time we fix little issues in the code (firmware). The version you had was pretty old and several things had been updated. Glad to hear everything is working well for you now.
