To set up your maps in the software you will use the following procedure. Connect your PC-V to the USB cable and open the software, go to Power Commander Tools/Configure/Map Switch and check "enable map switch". Once this is enabled when you retrieve or send a map you will have the option of sending it to map position 1 or map position 2. You can now load the appropriate maps and send them to the position you desire. Also note in the software on the left side you can left click on any of the data channels and change it to read "current map" To verify your switch is working simply toggle the switch back and forth and note that it will change from map 1 to map 2. For reference, map 1 will be an open circuit and map 2 will be the closed circuit.

To wire it, unplug the connector near the ACC switch under the switch panel, then connect one PCV wire to the orange wire and the other to the orange-red wire. When in the "on" position (toward the LED on the switch ****) the switch will be closed and "off" is open. Note that the LED will not function because there is no 12V source. I added a second ACC switch since I'm using the original for heated clothing.

Also note that when using a PCV with no Auto-Tune, you can switch between two different maps. With Auto-Tune you can only switch between open- and closed-loop using one base map. With AT I did it by creating a base map based on Fuel Moto's richer settings in the Target AFR tables. You do this by simply riding the bike through all ranges, like on a long day ride. After doing that I clicked on "Accept Trims" to create the new base map, then changed the Target AFR settings in the cruise range. For my bike the cruise range is between 2000-3000 RPM @ 5-15% TP. So, when in closed-loop mode (AT working) it is using the leaner targets in the cruise range and when I switch to open-loop (no AT) it is using the base map (richer).

If you're running a PCV with no-AT you can alter the values in Fuel Moto's map in the cruise range, starting by cutting them in half. I also tapered it a bit on both sides--i.e. in the 2% and 20% columns. You can go further and lean it even more, and on my '07 before adding AT I had mostly 0's in the cruise range, which gave me about 14.6:1 AFR's. That's right at stock specs and will run a bit hot in summer traffic, which is why you're using a switch and going through this to begin with. With an oil-cooler my bike runs no more than 205° oil-temp as long as it is moving, up to as high as 230° in heavy traffic. I try to anticipate these hot-running situations by flipping the switch early, as switching to the richer map will not instantly reduce oil-temps. Instead, it is a slow process and it helps to have it in the richer map well before you get into the traffic if possible.

For the basic PCV I would use the Fuel Moto map for your richer map (call it Map 1), then change only the cruise range for the second leaner map (Map 2). You can then run Map 2 most of the time, as it will run lean in the cruise range, but rich like the first map at TP's above 40%. So when you roll it on you'll be running with the same optimal settings outside the cruise range as with Map 1. When you get into traffic just switch to Map 1 to cool it down. For AT, change the Target AFR tables only in the cruise range using the same rationale as above.

It's hard to describe this process, so if any of this isn't clear drop me a reply.

I just remember last year when I went to FL from NC it was in the high 90s and after several hours on the interstate my thigh was roasting but got great mpg - 306 miles on one tank and 313 on the other before the light came on. So I was just wonder if it was possible for a third one. I could always do as you suggest and richen up the lean one for hot summer interstate riding in June, July and August and have another interstate one for the rest of the year. Just would have to manually upload twice a year wich I am sure is a pretty quick and easy process if you have the map saved.
