Member Contributer TC84 Posted May 2, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2011 Everyone, I just wanted to write a quick thanks to all that have posted up about installing the new PCV. After installing my LeoVince exhaust I knew it was a matter of time before I bought a PC. The only debate was which one to get PC3 or PCV. After doing a lot of searching on here I came to the conlusion the the PCV would be the best option, since they are practically the same price and you get more oportunities for future improvement/options. I couldn't believe how easy the install was! A big thanks to Cozye for making his map available to all. I uploaded his map and took the bike for a ride. All I can say is WOW!!!! The throttle response is a lot better along with the a much smoother Vtec transition!!! It is still there but it is much less noticeable. I really didn't mind it before, thought it added to the character of the bike, but now that is smoother I can see how it will help in the twisties making the bike less dangerous in the turns. Also, I noticed that from 40-100mph is much faster and the power delivery seems like it got even smoother. As you can see I am very happy with this mod!!! Thanks again everyone, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer TC84 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 16, 2011 did you get the auto tune with it or just the pcv? I just got the PCV. I didn't have the funds to get a auto tune too. It is definately in the plans for the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer TC84 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 16, 2011 Have you had a chance to check gas mileage ???? I have only run 2 tanks of fuel since the upgrade. One tank was mostly cruising country roads 50-60 mph and I got about 39-42 mpg. The other was mostly city driving and pretty aggressive on the throttle. I only got about 35-37 mpg on this tank. I would say if you were riding somewhere like the gap you should expect low to mid 30 mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ripper Posted May 16, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks for the reply, I just ordered the PCV. I know the map is somewhere on this site, but for some reason it is eluding me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR Discussion > Forums> Downloads> Power Commander Maps> Modified Cozy_ver5 for PCV lol... I probably should have edited my post. I finally realized there was a "Files" section and found it right after I posted that. Thanks though, I really appreciate how helpful this place is.

Member Contributer Ripper Posted May 30, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2011 Finally got around to installing the PCV. No more snatchy throttle, Yea! I don't feel much change in the power department (didn't really expect to) but damn is it smooth now... and I've got something to tinker with! I've got a 929 shock going to Jamie Daugherty for conversion and rebuild, along with having the front forks done at the same time. I'm really excited for this mod!
