Today I spoke with one of the reps from dynojet about the maps they provide from their CD-Rom. I told that guy that I wasn't happy with the mileage and was asking about the buttons on the PC3 Itself. I am not familiar unlike some of you are with the pc3 but I wasn't able to get over to jp's before I left daytona..... anyhow... the buttons are solely representative of the RPM's and seperate each other by 2000 rpms per button.... (0-2000, 2000-4000, 4000-6000)... well I and alot of other guys with the samson exhaust haven't been able to find many maps that are custom so this is my solution to that. Before I took the beast into for the recall I was getting probably 77 - 85 miles before the light would come on. Now I am managing about 110.. 113 best. predominately highway miles at around 70 / 2500-2700 rpms. Kinda funny dont ya think? anyhow point is. I spoke with the rep and he said that most of their maps done "not by magic" as their quote says..... are predominately richer. I will be posting in the maps to have section the samson drag pipe maps. All with stock intake mind you. You can use these maps to adjust for your own bike unless you realllllllllly want to wait and pay for the custom map on a dyno etc etc etc..... I want the dyno map but I only have the pipes and thats it. I am not paying out good money just for one lil mod..... (never say never but well see LOL). I also spoke with one of the service techs and he said that if you get some new plugs, install them and make a 50 MPH run continuous rolling that you can get a pretty good reading of the plugs that way. After you reach the 50 MPH mark, cut the engine off and roll to a stop. Take and pull the plugs and you will be able to tell where you may be leaner or richer by the plugs. Brainiacs chime in if im wrong but the inside portion of the plug is your midrange rpms, the tip is your high and the outter portion is your low rpms.
I will call and ask again tomorrow to make sure im posting true information but for a guy like me with lil to no engine mods and wanting the most out of the bike, I think you will probably get no closer to a true custom map than this without dynoing or sniffing at the dealership. Soon as the suns out and I feel like actually doing this I will go and get some new plugs and relocate my computer for the mapping... soon as I can upload my map from my bike I will post that as well... Hope this helps anyone![/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]
P.s. By the way I am 270 if it matters :0)
