Not sure about your firmware problem but the map sounds like it will work, provided it's not another Euro map.

There is a re programmer download on their site though, don't know if that would help, otherwise use their tech support.

 

Why are there so many different maps for each kind of slip-on? Are the differences between each brand quite a bit?

I think once I get my power commander back up and running, I'll just take it to a dyno tuner. luckly I have one that is about 5 miles from me... Though it's a Harley Davidson place... So they probably charge a ton.

 

I would never take my bike to a Harley tuner unless you want it to slow down and be louder.

 

You can map compare between 2 maps and it gives you a graph over rev range (select all cells/or cells you want)

Is there any way to compare all the euro maps at one go, import into excel ??

 

When I got my PC III it would not work off the 9V battery. I had to install it in the bike and use a laptop in the garage to get it to connect. Only then could I load map etc.

 

Also, if you're going to get a dyno tune consider installing smog blockoffs or at least disabling AIS. (assuming its not done already - its not on your list of mods)

 

So I did compare the graves system map to the European map that I had and overall the amount of fuel is less across the board with the Euro map. Especially lower and mid rpm range. I was wondering why the low and mid power seemed off. After installing the velocity stacks it did help though.

I'm going to call Dynojet today and see if they can help me with my "bricked" Power Commander. I'll probably have to send it to them or buy this $40 module that I would only use once...

I'll look into those smog Block offs. Thanks for the heads up Doppler.

 

Just a little update. I was able to get a hold of a Dynojet technician today about the bricked power commander. He gave me 3 options.
1. buy a Programmer module called:
REV X-TEND and START FUEL Update Kit
SKU: HDREV" ($40+9 shipping)
This will allow a forced firmware update even if it doesn't communicate with the computer.
2. See if there is a dyno dealer around where I live that has one of these devices and ask if I can use it for a small fee.
3. Send it into Dynojet with a 2 week turnaround for $34 including shipping.

I went ahead and just bought the module. Here is a link to the kit you can purchase from Dynojet. Link for kit

I had a heck of a time finding this online before talking to the tech at Dynojet anyway, so this will be for anyone with my same problem.

Thanks.

 

Another quick update.
The device worked great and I was able to update the firmware of my Power commander 3 usb.

I loaded the full Graves system map which was a bit more fuel rich than the older European scorpion slip-on map. I did notice I was smelling some fuel (maybe it was in my head) so I found another map which was pretty similar to the graves map but overall a little less fuel in the mix.
The map was: 421-006 Graves slip-ons (eliminates catalytic converter) Graves velocity stacks, Stock or aftermarket air filter.

Seemed a little more to my bike as I didn't have the full graves exhaust (Not sure what the difference is though).
BUT, the bike seems to be running great now and I love the low end acceleration with the velocity stacks and the -1/+1 from the sprocket change.

Thanks for the help everyone.

 

First off I know this is an old thread, but.....

Jesse, I got the exact same problem, oddly enough I am also in Utah and in IT.
Any chance I could borrow the programmer module.... I got $10 for ya if I can.

 

Jesse, got the same problem. Wanna sell your programmer?

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem and don't want to buy a new module to use once. Did you ever gotten yours resolved? What did you do?
