I visited with the mechanic yesterday at Performance Cycles in OKC, Nate, about changing out my ECU on my 06 Classic for one off of a Standard to be able to eliminate the top speed limiter which has me limited to 125 mph tops. In our conversation I told him I had just installed my new PCIII. He started asking questions about if I had reset the Idle Setting or if I had set the Cylinder Trim yet? I asked what the hell he was talking about? He asked if I had fully read the installation instructions on the CD that came with the PCIII? I told him all I done was down loaded the map for my bike and installed it on the bike. He informed me thats what 99% of all users do however there is alot more that the PCIII is able to do.
The reason I am bringing this up is because XDSKIP had removed his PCIII from his bike because he was changing out the exhaust and found that the rear cylinder appeared lean and the the front cylinder showed signs of being too rich. He thought that he might be doing some damage so he removed it from his bike.
During my conversation with Nate the triumph mechanic he told me about the Cylinder Trim feature where you can go into the program and adjust up to 10% + or - in each cylinder to compensate for what Skip had found on his bike. I told Nate about Skips bike and he said that the conditions that he had were not the best but they would by NO means have hurt the bike. He explained that is the reason to take your bike to a professional or at best to some one that has the knowledge to COMPLETE the installation process. He also informed me that by installing a PCIII would NOT void any factory warrenties.
I set down and loaded up the installation CD in the "puter" and read it from front to back and found the "idle reset and the cylinder trim" and decided that as soon as I can, I would be getting my bike to the dyno. Or at the very least, to Nate so he could complete the installation the way the boys at Power Commander had designed it.
I know that Skip will be reading this and to keep from having to send you a PM, I felt maybe there might be other captains out there that could benifit from this info also.
