PCV map switch

[rcannon409]

  I have the fuel moto map and pcv.  Now, the power is crazy....nuts. Torque wheelies, excessive tire wear, excessive driving awards, more brake pad wear, crap tire life.....this set-up does it.   

Now, on the rare occasion when I'm on the freeway at 70, I would love an eco map. Will this switch handle this?  Do you guys recommend this? It looks like a switch is very easy to add and would allow switching between two maps.

Is it me or would it be appropriate if we ask you to re write your question in English?

No Martin, its not you.  Its me. I'm not sure what happened. I hit return and typed over a bunch of stuff...sorry!   

I'm wanting to add a PCV map switch to  my c14 and wondered if anyone else is using one. If so, do thye like it.

I'm also interested. I made the mistake of trying a friend's BMW S1000RR a couple of weeks ago and the power was mad, but I enjoyed the thing like nuts. Now, I'm not trying to get the C14 into that (not even a turbo can shave 200 pounds off) but I'd like at least to wake up the engine below the 6000 rpm mark, so my path led to a PCV, which I already ordered. Now I want info on how to make the most out of it.

I'm running a PCv w/autotune on my 08. Put a map switch on to do the two map thing. The PCv can store two maps or  switch between autotune and map. I haven't made a second eco map yet. I got a dynojet switch for the clean setup but any on/off toggle will work. To create a second map you'll need to make adjustments to the trim tables in the software and save the second map to the PC. I've pretty much decided that a few mph is not worth the trouble.

As an aside, I've just started reading Tracy Martin's new book 'How to Tune and Modify Motorcycle Engine Management Systems'. So far it's been very informative.

Martin, remember to specify the southern hemisphere PC-5, otherwise you'll have to mount everything upside down....

I bought that book as well. Its helped me understand the pcv much better.   I appreciate the advise on the switch as well and have decided against one.

I asked this exact question not to long ago and the feedback I got was to use one map with the cruising range a little leaner for MPG and then in the higher RPM/Throttle openings richer for performance.  It is working out really good for me...

I have the switch I got from fuelmoto and have a performance and economy map on my PCv.  Tell you the truth,  this bike runs so fast as it is, I never switch to the performance map.  I can't ride to the bikes ability with the econ map anyway
