Do I do this with the bike running?

Ff, if mine had been runninggreat I wouldn't have checked it. If you are pleased with it - what else is there? Unless,that is, you suspect there are some untapped treasures of performance to let loose! Let us know what you discover.

Okay,I will lug the puter down to the garage and hook it up.With the bike running,If my idle setting does reflect 0 % at idle do I have to do anything ?How do I set 100% throttle?Just crack it wide open momentarily then hit rest?
having just gone through this, i can tell you what to watch out for so that the procedure works first time. first, do like bryan says,

then this is what to watch out for that didn't jump out at me when i did mine (100% that is, the idle was a piece of cake)

the bike does not have to be running
make sure the ignition switch is on
make sure the run switch is in the run position

if you do those things, the colored bar will go up, and the percentage window will show 100%. maybe it said that in the tutorial, maybe i just missed it, but it took me a little bit to figure it out.

skratch, i must have done something wrong. My bike had to be running (or as the manual said, plugged in with 9volt), to get any action from the computer program. Once it was running i got feedback from the PCIII. YMMV

thats what i was saying, i had the 9v battery plugged in but wasn't getting any feedback for the 100% throttle until i did the other things..... the manual didn't specifically mention them, so thought i would

See I put a PC in the garage and just fired up the bike and set them both didn't run in to any problems. Wow it was night and day after doing the throttle position.
P.S. Talk about night and day. I just went from True Duals to a Bassani 2-1 pipe. OMG it's like i picked up 20 HP. A full review and a pro and con post will be forth coming.
