Don't know about yours but my dealer has a 5 gallon pail of them. When a bike comes in that won't run properly the first thing they do is remove any aftermarket computer, usually runs fine then.

Seems like the only fuel processors that guys have failures with on here are power commanders. If it were me I'd junk it and replace it with one from Dobeck . Then you can adjust it anywhere and don't need a computer.

I had issues with mine communicating with my computer. Called the tech department there and they walked me through step by step the issues I was having. Might be worth a phone call.

I have had Powercommanders on 3 different bikes, and I have never had a bad one. I have called customer support a couple of times, though, and they have always been helpful. They even remoted into my laptop while it was hooked to the PCV and did some diagnostics. So I would recommend calling and talking to them. As far as the other fuel systems go, if you just want something easy, the Dobek seems to get great reviews, but if you really want to tune your bike right, the fully programmable PCV is the only way to go. Not an opinion, a fact. You can not get as good a tune by adjusting a 3 pot system, as you can by dyno tuning a PCV.

Maybe not the 3 pot one but the newer EJK on a dyno and you can get the same results. Both Dynojet and Dobeck are right here in town. I know people from both places and I'll stick with the Dobeck guys.

cannot answer u r question but the service manual says code 51 is for front coil primary winding open or shorted [to ground] which causes ECU to cut fuel at #1 [front] injector but would run on #2 ... same for code 52 & rear cyl .= no injector pulse = no run .. is the pc ground wire good . are all plugs tight & clean any broken wires .. I was thinking dobeck made those things so maybe they could fix it if u give em a call
did a search on dobeck .. they do not make PC ... but a conversation with a guy here in town that runs a bike shop & just talked to him 2 min ago to get it straight [he is a friend of mr. dobeck] some years ago dobeck started the dynojet organization but later sold out then started another company making the TECHLUSION processors and still are .. so two different companies now but it all started with dobeck and the dyno jet kits then along came fuel injection ... I personally chose the techlusion plug n play over other brands for several reasons and it works for me

Thanks for the replies guys. I took the power cammander right off the bike and I was able to uodate the firmware and load a pcv. I will probably wait till spring to reinstall it.
