Obby Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 After pulling the tank completely off to install a K&N (what a pain the FI bird is compared to the carb'd model), I notice the FI injection harness connector for the PCIIIUSB 113-411 WOULD fit! :icon_wall: . Fuck me! I had a PC IIIUSB right in my hans, then sold it because I was looking at the wrong wiring loom/harness connetors under the tank and figured it was the wrong application. Now I have to try to find another one for $150 bones, like that will ever happen again . Totally pissed with myself! That's all . PS. Now I have to appologize to Rusy at PowerCommander as he was right all along. Damn it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 After pulling the tank completely off to install a K&N (what a pain the FI bird is compared to the carb'd model) For future reference, it's not necessary to remove the tank to replace the air filter. Just prop up the front and swap it out, ten minute job, tops. And yes, you're a dumbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exskibum Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Installed my PCIII USB today, and having no luck getting any info on the map for a Micron 4-2-1 with stock air filter, I installed a map for an Erion header** with stock filter. Seems to run pretty good. About to head over theSierras as soon as I take a shower to find out for sure. It's a bitch and a half getting that harness apart (due to the plastic clip locks on the sides) with the back of the tank up, the frame in the way and less than 3 or 4 hands. ** not sure the cylinder pairings on the 4-2-1 Erion, but after reviewing a couple maps against the OEM exhaust system map, it seemed like a decent educated guess. (See my post on the Micron header pairings and my search for the appropriate map -- they made exactly such a Micron map for the PC II, but unless I figure out how to display its fuel settings and make a PCIII custom map with those settings, I can't seem to find a way to use it.)

Just prop up the front and swap it out, ten minute job, tops. And yes, you're a dumbass. Now, now... I like to do a thorough job when I do anything. I had to pulled out the stock rubber seal, clean (and in my case vacuum the bottom of the box, tar rocks and stuff were in there?), and grease the seal before dropping in a K&N for the first time. Can not be done with my gorilla hands, without taking off the tank. Not to mention, the bike is new to me, I really needed to stip off everything once to see what I had bought. All is actually pretty good. All the water, fuel, vacuum and breather lines looked good. Knowbody screwed with anything far as I could tell. The throttle bodies were just filthy at the butterflies (if that is what they are called). I cleaned everything up, installed my HID (upper only... long story), changed the oil and filter again (only 2k on it, but f it ), and finished it off with a Aeroblade windscreen (good wind blockage btw). After a while my back started giving out, so I gave up on the rest . Now, my fingers are swollen, back is screwed and I retired to my lazyboy to ice my back while now. 2001 Redbird is looking good though! She even pulled a sweet powerwheelie in 2nd for me on just throttle for the first time . My blackbird did that all the time, but this one never would without clutching it up. Old Man now Obby Here's a few pics to keep my story interesting... [attachmentid=1184] [attachmentid=1185] [attachmentid=1186] [attachmentid=1188] Do you think this was ready .

Fiona Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 What the hell. I thought the '01 used PCII..... I passed a killer deal on a PCIII when I had my redbird for that same reason. "Fuck me runnin!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obby Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yeah, he's a heck of a good dog. Lab mix from what the shelter told us when we picked him up at 10 weeks old. We still haven't found out what he's mixed with. He is a natural from day one at fetching. Brings it back without a fuss every single time. Hence the 'retreiver' name maybe :icon_think: . He even 'points' natually. I didn't even know what he was doing until I brought him to an 'all lab' dog park. One guys said, 'he points already, good trait' I was all smiles, "that-a-boy there Lucky!!!" Dog are cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obby Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 What the hell. I thought the '01 used PCII..... I passed a killer deal on a PCIII when I had my redbird for that same reason. "Fuck me runnin!" I don't know about all '01XX's. Mine has a round connector right near the fuel rail. Dusty at Power Commander told me that this is where to hook up the PCIIIUSB, but I didn't see it. I only saw the two rectangular wiring looms/connectors that are located farther back under the tank. Don't buy anthing yet. Let me piss off a few hundred more dollars for you first. Son of a 'you know what!' :icon_wall: BTW folks, Yes I know the turn signals don't match. Clear Alternative have already been shipped. Can I piss off money or what. Screw it, I work hard for it. Just keep me behind servers and workstations for now on. I just about killed myself getting that tank off, air filter in, and HID installed. Where's the Tylenol! Nice looking screen! Thanks! The looks of my ZG are perhaps better in form with the XX, but the new screen is the sh't for blocking the wind and getting under at high speed runs. No head bobble at 150+... Uhhh, I mean +5 over :icon_shifty: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
