Flies out!!!! but think I have a problem After I got them out and installed the PCIII. The read out on the PCIII shows very low fuel ratio. When I started it, it showed 1 bar from the bottom. Then after the idle settled down it showed all the way down. I rev'd it a few times and still all the way down. I shut it off, knowing that with the flies out you can damage the motor if it is too lean.
It was mapped by Brock (sticker on back of the PCIII), showing smeg and secondary flies out map.
Do I need to adjust it on the PCIII? Or should I confirm the map is actually in there. Cannot imagaine they would have put the wrong map, or not one at all in.

Dude that light on the box don't mean shit! It moves up and down with the throttle.. It's the map inside the box that controls everything.. Plug it into your computer and you will see the map..

JKillian if you have any doubt then take it to the dyno and have the AF checked out. If it came from Brock's though I wouldn't sweat it..

Some things never change -- there is nothing to upload. He's wrong, as usual.
All you have to do is install the DJ software on your PC, get the map and open it in the DJ software. You will see the map name, fuel tables etc...if you have the map. If you don't have the map, plug the PC into the USB port of the Power Commander and open the DJ software (bike must be running or 9V battery cable plugged into the PCIII) and click on "get map". There, you will see the fuel tables..idle speed, TPS etc.
Unless you have the bike on the Dyno with a gas analyzer plugged in, you're wasting your time. The map that Brock sent you was the result of many hours of tuning for your system, something you can't do without a Dyno or a wideband PC.

yeah wasn't trying to tune.
was just concerned with the A/F light on the PCIII being all the way down.
another question I have though is this. This is my first bike in 8 years. Last was an 88 gsxr 1100. My skills are obviously a little low from the time away from bikes. But I cannot get this thing to come up. I can just a tad if I run hard through 1st then hit 2nd hard it comes up slightly.
Just racked it up to the flies being in. Well now they are out, seems way more responsive below 7k, but still not coming up. This bike just front heavy or what? I don't get it. I either have a disfunctional 14 or ????????? I don't get it.
Needs a life
Full throttle!

There is no 'A/F" light on the PC3USB. There's a led bar that's a throttle position indicator in normal running and a programming indicator when you are adding or taking fuel away from the map.

Yeah yours must suck cause mine is a wheelie monster in 1st gear. It just powers up around 6000 rpm. It's bone stock except for a power commander and a slight re-tune.

No you don't have a dysfunctional 14. Wanna get her up? At 4k or more...pin the throttle, then close it fully and just pin it again (quickly) and she'll be up. There's not much hope of gettin' it up just by power alone...you need to bounce it up. I weigh 210 and bouncing her up works every time...my 10 comes up at 6k without bouncing, but it weighs a lot less. Don't clutch it up in 1st because she comes up very,very fast. I'm not great at wheelies, but I've got a buddy that can wheelie a golf cart and even he'll tell you that the 14 just won't come up easily under power alone...it needs help. hence, chopping the throttle.

Pulling the front wheel up is fun, and won't hurt the bike, it's when the front wheel comes down that damage can be done.
If the front wheel comes down hard, you can destroy/wear out the steering head bearings. Worse yet, you can ovalise the frame where the bearing races sit. I know this because I've done it, and I had to replace the frame (on an old FZR1000, great bike).
I don't want to come across as a 'killjoy', just want to warn you of the expensive mistakes that I've make.
The heavier the bike, the more easily the damage occurs.
Wells done for removing the 'flies', best mod I've EVER performed. Good on ya.

Oh brother, how anal can you get? Anyone who has a clue would've known what I was saying. Sorry, I ddn't use the "DJ software" reference.....give it a rest already.

Flies out will get the front up without a hitch and doesn't require pinning above 4K or was that 4500K? . He has a dysfunctional 14 or he's afraid to pin it off idle, 2nd, and 3rd gear. No chopping necessary on mine. I can ride wheelies but not on a golf cart...boy your friend must be really good at wheelies.

Wow, you're giving advice on how to get it up now?...sound like a jack of all trades...good on ya....

You won't damage anyting if you wheelie correctly and allow for a nice smooth and controlled touch down. It's called a loft wheelie in my book. Practice wheelies on a bicycle before screwing up your expensive bike.

Wow, I dont know what kind of 14s you guys got..but if im sitting upright and I pin the throttle in first gear, the bike will go straight up, all the way to the balance point (or all the way over if I dont modulate the throttle) once it reaches about 4500 rpm. It often throws second right up to the balance point if I am sitting upright especially if I speed shift the first to second gear shift. Hell even when Im in a full tuck when I speed shift first to second it pulls the front wheel 2 feet or so of the ground. It even pulls third up about 6 inches or so on a second to third speed shift, while im in a full tuck.

No they only show more or less fuel added. Not actual AF ratio, as there is no 02 sensor to feedback information to the Power commander..

Lower the back end only about 1.5 inches, and the front end stops coming up and you can nail from a creep. My 12r at 6000 would come up in first just nailing, after the lowering, the tendency was greatly reduced. Stock suspension really allows the wheelies due to the force transfer on the shocks/springs, but lower it, and most of that will stop.

Somebody mentioned about lowering...No need to lower anything...if you know how to ride the 14 will get you up in a hurry....if you can't get in off the ground, sell the 14 and buy a Ninja 250.

My bike comes up fine in first if I pin the throttle around 45 mph. If I tuck it doesn't want to come up. I don't think I can get it up in 2nd but I'm going to try again soon as I get a chance.
