Default Power Commander 3 Questions. Please Help!

V&H Short Shots, SE stage 1 AC, Power Commander 3 and a $hit ton of decel popping. All these mods were already on the bike when I got it. My question is this, can I remedy the popping by increasing the low range fuel with the 3 buttons on the unit itself? I do not have the cables for connecting unit to laptop yet so downloading a new map is not an option at this time. Any help with this aggravating popping would be greatly appreciated.

If you can post your afr table(s) I can tell you what/where to punch in new numbers.

I do not know how to post a pic of the map but here is a link. This link will only work if you have the Power Commander software. http://www.powercommander.com/downlo...15-002-006.pvm
I got it from Power commander's website under the map search tab. It says its for the same pipes and intake but it also says its for 02 sensor removal? I have 02 sensors in my pipes so I wonder if I need a completely new map?

Ok let me ask this, which rpm range and throttle position needs adjusting to take care of some if not all of the decel popping ? I emailed power commander but have gotten no response yet.

You will need the O2 eliminators. I think that's what they mean by "removing" the O2 sensors.

Tank - Pull up your image on the pc screen - Hit Print screen button - Go to Start Menu and open Paint - Ctrl/V to transfer image into Paint - Save as jpeg

Clear as mud, right? Looking for a afr table like this one...



You want to alter the table in the 35kpa and below to something in this range...not sure if your O2 sensors will try to override your input as I run none at all. You might also play with the Decel Enleanment table at some point. With some pipes you may never be able to completely eliminate the popping, but you can minimize it to a degree.

I guess I'm a idiot because the only way I could get an image was with cell phone camera. Whatever it takes , right.
What does kpa mean? This was the only map power commander had on the website that I could find for Harley xl1200l. I have 02 sensors in my pipes so I don't know if this map is even close to being correct for my bike and mods. Thank for all the help. I'm really tired of all the popping.

Tank, what I did to get rid of the popping on decel is I added 10 to the 0% throttle column from 1k rpm up to about 3k rpm. remember to do that to both cylinders and most of your popping *should* go away.

I tried adding 5 in the 0 throttle position on 1750rpm thru 3000rpm, because I didn't want to change the idle, and it decreased the decel popping very little if at all. I'm not even sure what rpm the idle is or should be for that matter. It was a little discouraging but I'll get it right sooner or later. Also I keep reading about " decel enleanment " but I can't find this setting on my pc3 software. Is it an option on some other tuner?
