I just installed a Forcewinder XR2 AC, V&H Big Radius Blacks, and a PCIII. Since the PCIII eliminates the need for O2 sensors, what do I do with the holes for them in the pipes? Find a plug? Maybe a dumb question, but this is my first time doing this.

 

You don't remove the O2 sensors, the eliminators plug into their sockets.

 

They plug into the socket coming off of the computer correct? So what about the other half that is connected to the pipes?

 

That's correct. Mine came with a couple of rubber caps that cover the sensor connections on the pipes to keep water and dirt out. I just plugged the eliminators into the wire connections, and zipped tied them out of the way.

 

I unscrewed my '02 sensors and plugged them. Looks nice and clean.

 

I thought about doing that too, but I figured if I was on a trip and the PCIII took a dump, I could plug 'em back up, unplug the PCIII and keep going. From what I've read, the stock setup would adjust to the air filter and pipes but it will still be at 14.5 or .7, what ever the factory ratio was.

 

Just want to ask what if I install the PC3 but would like to keep my IED's or XIED's at the same time, will that have any negative effect on the bike?

 

Been awhile since I read up on the xied's, but from what I remember that they did, it would seem redundant to keep 'em and install a PCIII or any other fuel management system.

I've played with my PCIII for about 8 months since I've had it. I've got mine narrowed down to three different maps I've made.

1.) fuel mileage
2.) mid range mileage and performance
3.)performance

To be honest, I run the mid range for around town and short trips and the fuel mileage one if I'm going for over 300 miles. It's simple and fun to tweak the maps, and if you get way off you just boot it and put the map Jamie made back in.

 

I just put one of the original sensors back into the new exhaust, but one of them wouldn't come out due to the high heat.

 

Working with exhaust can be fun. You may try taking a small propane torch and heating around the pipe, not red hot mind you, sometimes this will cause the bung to expand enough to release the sensor.
