Yes. Just enable the "map switch" option in the menu and you can then load two maps into the PCV.

I haven't done this for a while with the basic PCV, but if you need help I'm sure between me and others we can get you running. BTW, the map switch feature is a big selling-point for the PCV, IMO, and I don't think enough people implement it.

Are the O2 sensors used when running dual maps?
No, the stock O2 sensors won't be used and you'll have the O2 sensor eliminators included in the PCV kit installed.

Ok, thanks for the feedback iclick. I guess I'll just need a "highway" map now. I'll hit up FM when I am ready to do this.

im thinking about getting the AT for my 08 just for the fact of maybe adjusting the base map where it may be lacking in areas when i ride, or to lean it out where its too beefy. i just want to set it and ride and not mess with it. meaning using it however jamie sends it to me. do u think its worth the 300 bucks to do this. i just have a simple stage one with some slip on mufflers and stock header pipes at the moment

If you are running a Fuel Moto map now I would have to say that adding AT wouldn't be a cost-effective investment. OTOH if you plan on making other changes in the future, like an upgrade that FM has no exact matches for, it would be worth the cost. It would also be appropriate for someone like me who just likes to tweak, but I doubt if adding AT will provide you with a meaningful improvement in the bike's behavior if you already have a good map installed.

If you want better mileage with the FM map simply subtract 7% from the Fuel Adj. values of both cylinders between 5-20% TP and 2k-3k RPM. Make a copy of the original FM map and save it to a unique filename on your computer before making any changes, then notate and save subsequent changes as well.

I just finished my Radio Shack Relay install using iclick's drawing & instructions in this thread. I used the available ACC switch on the Ultra Classic. This is for the PC-V on a 2010 Ultra Classic.

Using the NC contacts & Auto Tune Switching enabled:
  • ACC switch 'OFF' (LED is off). The relay will be closed & Auto Tune will be ON. The Basemap will be OFF.
  • ACC switch 'ON' (LED is lit). The relay will be open & Auto Tune will be OFF. The Basemap will be ON
Using the NC contacts & Map Switching enabled:
  • ACC switch 'OFF' (LED is off). The relay will be closed & Map #2 will be active.
  • ACC switch 'ON' (LED is lit). The relay will be open & Map #1 will be active.
Hope this helps.

White Ice, thanks for the switch info. I've saved it for future reference.

I jsut got rid of the fuel pak, constantly having to make map changes and solve one problem creates another. Also talk to two different people and get 2 different answers. no consistency. PCV just installed with their custom map for my set u p and a little fuel richining and bike runs 100% better and throttle response 200% better.

When you say 7%...you mean subtracting "7" from each cell in those ranges you stated, correct?

I don't have the AT, but am running a FM map for my set up. My milage stinks.
