Wait for light or not?
I have an 07 UC and read on one of the other threads that was talking about PCIII that you do not have to wait for the light to go off before you hit the starter. When Ipurchased my UC they told me that it was important to wait, just wondering what you were told and what you do.

I think that on a stock bike, you should still wait for the light to go off. I do. I believe the difference is, with the PC it is priming the fuel injection too fast or with too much pressure making it a little harder to start. Something like flooding a carburetor.

All ECM Bikes need to wait for the light to go off... You can & will set a code sooner or later

If the PC III were set up right, you should be able to wait for the light to go out.

I would say that if the dealer (salesman) suggested that you wait the wait,.....he has your best interest at mind. Besides,....how long does it take for the light to go off? We're in a very fast passed world but a few seconds won't do any harm unless maybe your trying to get your wife that's in labor to the hospital

RE: Wait for light or not?
theres only one way to set up the pciii. the start delay has to do with a change that hd made. once the fuel system has 'primed' the power is cut. when you hit the start button, power is restored and the pciii has to go through a startup sequence again. hence the delay.
I do not have to alter my advised (Dealer) start method with my Fuelpak??

Dealer and manual tell you to wait for the light to go off, what the ECM is doing is checking air temp, filling fuel pump etc. it will start if you don't wait but I'm going by the manual.

and to the poster that said he would listen to the salesmen/dealer, do you think they always know what they are talking about? remember, these are the same guys that said using synthetic oil would cause bearing skate.....
