Hey guys, I did the Stage 1 upgrade the other day. I installed a PCIII, Arlen Ness Big Sucker to go along with&nbsp\\;my SEII slipons. All I can say is holy crap! What a difference. She really wants to go now that she's uncorked and doesn't feel like the bike is being choked anymore. Really pulls hard, especially on the low end. Throttle response is so much better, snappier. Exhaust&nbsp\\;tone is a bit different at&nbsp\\;idle and definately louder when you get on it.&nbsp\\;I also noticed she smoothed out a little with the vibes I had going on. Not sure about the heat and mileage yet.
&nbsp\\;
Install was very easy, I even got the PCIII in under my seat with plenty of room. The Big Sucker was simple as well. Fuel Moto did the map and so far so good. I will get it dynoed and tuned in the next couple of weeks. I will post pics as soon as I finish cutting out an old football for my A/C insert.

 

Congrats, the mods really "wake" the bike up..

 

"uncorked it" - you nailed it there.&nbsp\\; Amazing the difference just letting it breathe better.&nbsp\\; I noticed the same things when I did my stage 1.&nbsp\\; Stage 1, really these days, if you think about it, is more bringing the engine up to it's normal abilities instead of going a step beyond normal like it used to be - thanks to the US Gov't and the EPA.

 

Yeah it's a shame they don't run like this from the factory. Oh well I didn't spent too much, $279 PCIII, $109 Big Sucker, $81 SEII's from ebay, plus I have the fuel management when and if I change pipes or anything later.

 

yeah they finally run as they should,, its also great to do it yourself[8D]

 

been thinking of vance and hines shortys (staggered) and getting the dynojet hand held to remap the FI myself, it's a big difference ?

Keep us updated on mileage and dyno. I'm pretty close to getting a PCIII from Jamie as well.

 

Will do.

I,d say you got a bargain at $469 all in. The dyno should set it up to its best if its not already, gives you the peace of mind in my opinion.

 

Are the maps that fuelmoto installs 'custom' or are they just the packaged maps?&nbsp\\; Just curious, with your setup, what map they installed.&nbsp\\; I checked and the map id should be m814-007.&nbsp\\; I would end up with the same map because I too have the SEII's and will get the ANBS.
