Fitted my PCV yesterday wasn't as easy as I thought using the standard hammer and chisel that I have as tools. O2 elimator fitted and no FI light on so alls good. I've downloaded the correct map from dynojet for my bike with K&N air filter and yoshi r77 exhaust and is def smother no hunting on idle. PCV holds two maps as you all well know but do many people run with two maps. If so what's your second map based on. Is there a economy map for motorway tramping or a wet map for shitty weather or a balls out closed road map. I did notice there was a thread started for people to share but nothing on it. I know people pay to get a custom map done but if another forum member found a map useful, I know myself I would pay a fee to borrow/use it.
I use the map switch to flick between map 1 , 2 ... Map 1 - Full performance map (custom mapped) Map 2 - Commuting map (fuel leaned out between 4-6,000 rpm) which improves economy by 5-6 mpg It might not hunt at the moment but it will... and it will feel a little abrupt under 4,000 rpm ... the baffle sorts all this out and makes the bike ride super smooth. I only put mine in for a track day but it is that good I'm considering leaving it in long term.
I think i'd favour a standard/performance map and have a poor weather map as a reserve so you don't risk spinning the rear wheel up, in wet conditions.
That's what the right hand is for ... ... I ride in all weather and have only spun the rear wheel once and that was due to me being cack handed

Lol.... Totally agree with this. But a little bit of extra retardation wouldn't hurt. But we are all different in capabilities and some riders might perhaps prefer a 'wet' map.
Indeed it would not hurt... I'd tie it in with an mpg map though for longer / motorway runs myself... maybe lean it out from idle to 6000rpm ... so full performance over 6000rpm as most people in poor weather will not be revving the bike hard.
I personally think I need a PCV. I've upgraded to a K&N Filter and have my 2Bros Slip on as well. Bike feels a little flat mid range and with increased air, the mapping might need tweeking. But, on PC's website, they say you need a QS to run alongside it. Is this a sales gimmick or requirement??
Good point. Hadn't really thought about the fact that the PCV is just a fuel management device. To answer, I have no idea . But, the idea was there
