Hey Mart, I just read through thr replies and did see (I don't think) anyone mentions the TPS recall. If you haven't had this done you need to do so. If it's been done, then like others said its a matter of matching the PCIII to the TPS. ie, the "dealer" is suppsoed to set the new or recalled TPS to 0% throttle. However, the dealer does not touch our PCIII's, which btw also need to be set on occasion to "0". Like others said, the tutorial on the power commanders web site is simple and straight forward. Need to plug in the laptop, fire up the bike, let her warm up, and then follow the "set throttle position" instructions. Let su know how you make out and again....welcome bro! btw...I had the EXACT same problem and it was cured by recalled TPS, and resetting the throttle positon on the PCIII.
