If you've loaded the 2.3.0.0 ignition firmware onto your PCIII, you'll need to reload the 2.2.2.0 fuel firmware and most likely your map will need to be reloaded as well. You should not load ignition only firmware onto a PCIII/USB for a Harley. Been there. Done that.

 

What happened to your ride after you did that ignition install? Would it start? Mine started fine last night after all the installs.

I mentioned to Jamie (of Fuelmoto) that I did the Firmware upgrades... here is what he said:

"...you need the map I can get it to you on Monday no problem. Also note the firmware will not affectthe map.Have a great weekend. Thank you......Jamie"

 

That's the word I got from PC two months ago when I called them about this very question. You don't install the 2.3.0 ignition upgrade on HD's, although it isn't clear on the site. In fact, it sounds like you should install it on all bikes. I mentioned that and they still haven't changed it, inviting problems when customers do the wrong thing based on poorly worded site info.

I assume that they at least would program it to identify which units should take that FW upgrade.

 

Yep, I agree. I didn't upgradeign firmware and won't till lots of feedback generated.

 

I took my bike out for a spin today... ran quite well. No problems whatsoever! She had great pickup, lots of power and torque... still some backpopping, but I expect that will happen when you are running 2.5" baffles.

Not sure what the Firmware 2.3.0 ignition update was supposed to do, but the bike was all good today.

 

I have the same situation. Never a problem, zero, nada, zip. If it ain't broke - don't fix it.

 

You just don't seem to get it. DO NOT load the ignition firmware onto a Harley Power Commander. If you have, then reload the 2.2.2.0 Harley firmware again and reload your map. Harley PCIII/USB has an integrated ignition module, NOT an externalignition module that plugs into the expansion port.

 

Whoa... hold on a sec. Chill out.

I guess that I am not "getting it". I have asked, in vain, what this upgrade will do to the operation of my bike. No one - including you - has been able to advise of same. I asked if the bike would still run, etc. Again, no response.

Seeing how you seem to "know" the problem, then I ask that you share same. WHY is this upgrade a bad thing? And WHAT will it do to my bike if I keep in on there?

 

Peyts, congrats on selling the Sportster. I'm sure you'll look back on it someday and say "...man, I should have kept that bike." ...I only say this as I've said that at one point or another about every bike I've ever had. But still, cleaning out the garage and making room for the new ride can be a good thing too.

Give the Dynotech guys a call and ask them what about the firmware stuff. The do firmware updtaes for so many things, sometimes having nothing to do with the actual inputs and outputs of the device.

Going for a little ride tomorrow myself. supposed to be a whopping +40'F here in Massachusetts. That's riding weather!
