The previous owner installed the PCIII on my 2006 Wide Glide as well as the V&H Big radius 2 into 2, and a Screaming Eagle air cleaner. I noticed a lot of decel pop, and it even pops on the 1-2 shift on occasion. I downloaded the map from the bike and compared it to the canned tune power commander has on their website. They are similar but not exactly the same. In fact, there are some significant differences in certain rpm ranges.
I cannot contact the previous owner because I did not buy the bike from him, but I am wondering if he tweaked the map, or if he had it dyno tuned at one time. (Due to the popping, I am thinking maybe he "tweaked" some things.)

I am considering uploading the canned tune to see if it runs any better. Do any of you run a canned tune that you are happy with? Doing this can't really hurt anything, right?

I talked to my indy shop mechanic, and he said the PCIII was junk, and wanted me to buy the TTS from him, but I'm thinking he just wants to sell me something. Granted a TTS with a dyno tune would run better than my current setup, but that's money better spent when and if I can get a cam in my opinion.

 

Should be no problem uploading the canned tune and the setup you have is pretty common. If that doesnt take care of the decel pop, then consider dynotune. I had a lot of problems with decel pop and it took some time on the dynotune to work itself out. The PCIII is fine, dont change to TTS unless your doing some future work on it.

 

id call jamie at fuelmoto and ask him what he thinks .. a lot of people here swear by him.

 

Save your current map on your computer, then try other maps.

If they aren't any better you can always reinstall the original map.

 

make sure the throttle position is set to zero.

I got rid of virtually all decel popping by following Power Commander's suggestion:

If you're not sure what to do, send me your map and I'll make the changes and email it back to you.

 

I'll give this a try and report back. Thanks.

 

I had the PCIII for about 2 years. Started having problems with it..... Changed it out with the SERT Pro. Now no problems for the last 2 years. Power Comanders are a piggyback tuners.... Which lie to the ECM. The SERT actually changes the ECM. They are more $$$$. But well worth it... IMHO.... Good luck with the tune

 

I still have a little decel pop as well and I am going to try this fix too..that's why I like this forum....other's are usually having or have had the same problem.

 

FYI: To get rid of the popping I had to do both of Power Commander's suggestions (meaning I had to add the values at both the 0% and 2% throttle position).

 

Noted...thanks for the heads up WGB.
