       with PC5 it dont matter what the dealer loaded, the OEM 02
       sensor will no longer have any control,,, significantly cooler
       and very noticeable at idle:
       Here is my Autotuned fuel map, use it, however it is for a
       slip-on and modified air box:

       Thanks Again GSP. I've been waiting for a good FI solution!
       Installed my PC5 over the weekend – way smoother mapping and
       slightly cooler temps (so lean from the factory!). I still may
       be slightly on the lean side (open air filter and exhaust mods).
       The extra timing also makes mid range awesome. Bike pulls very
       well through the full RPM range.
       Hope to get it on the DYNO soon, and interest to see how auto
       tune shapes up.

       Cool, remember, since it is fly by wire, you must set the
       throttle position sensor while the engine is running in neutral,
       push the button to re-calibrate TPS in the PCV software and just
       very quickly pop the throttle to 100%, this is clearly evident
       when you compare 100% throttle voltage displayed by PCV, engine
       off vers engine on...

       BTW, for those installing, the PC5 fits neatly under the OEM ECU
       cover.

       [quote] could you elaborate on the relationship between octane
       and spark advance? [/quote]
       Higher octane fuels help prevent preignition, allowing for
       advancing timing and/or more compression. For us out in CA and
       AZ, the increased methanol requires a bit more fuel and slightly
       different timing or higher octane... So these bikes often run
       especially lean in CA!
       [quote]I had the dealer re-map my ECU to the EU maps. [/quote]
       It's likely that the dealer installed the Akropovic map, not an
       EU map. The akro map was a good step on both my old SMC and my
       new ER, but still pretty conservative for opening exhaust and
       intake. My SMC ran waaay too lean with only the Akro map.
       [quote]with PC5 it don't matter what the dealer loaded, the OEM
       02 sensor will no longer have any control,,, [/quote]
       All due respect, this may not be entirely true... The PC's add
       more (or less) fuel + timing to whatever the base parameters
       (map) are. Since the PC's (in our case) don't directly interface
       with the ECU tables and we remove the O2, we're essentially
       turning a closed loop system into an open loop system (unless
       you run auto tune). I'm not 100% sure what the Akro map changes,
       but I'm guessing it changes the both the open and closed loop
       tables. Moreover, since we're "fooling" the ECU into thinking
       there is an O2, the bike's ECU goes into closed loop anyways
       once normal operating temp is reached.

       Great reminder GSP. This is important for ALL FI installs, not
       just Fly By Wires. The TPS should always be calibrated. In my
       experience, idle is usually fine, but WOT is slightly off based
       on the base voltage... Usually TPS calibration does not need to
       be done with the engine running since it's just calibrating the
       voltage range.

       On this 2014 KTM 690, if you calibrate TPS with engine off it
       will not be correct,,, try it,,,, engine off in neutral, engine
       off in gear and you will see a TPS voltage limit, like 3.xxx
       volts max in neutral and less in gear at WOT, fire it up watch
       the TPS output voltage when you twist the throttle and you will
       be surprised... power commander stipulates on paper that fly by
       wire motorcycles should be running for TPS calibration and is
       the case for this bike...

       PC5 Map with Stock Air Filter and Exhaust
       By: Maribo Date: August 12, 2014, 5:39 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       My PC5 came today so I am ready to rock!  I would like to change
       things one at a time, starting with stock air and exhaust, but
       with PC5 added.  Then add my Wings muffler, changing the map
       accordingly.  Then, with a opened-up air box, and appropriate
       map.  My question is, what map to use with the stock air and
       exhaust.  I understand that the PC 5 comes with a map for stock
       air and exhaust already loaded, so I theoretically don't have to
       change anything for step 1.  However, I noticed that while the
       stock air and exhaust map (M18-016-001.pvm) adds fuel in a a lot
       of places, it also leans it in others.  Since the idea is to
       lessen the overly-lean factory settings, leaning it still
       further seems to be doing the opposite.  Should I change the
       negative values to zero, or are they there for a good reason?
       Also, there are no ignition changes in the stock air and exhaust
       map.  Is it OK to advance the timing 2-3 degrees, or should I
       wait until I add the Wings exhaust?
       And thanks for bringing up the subject of spark advance and
       octane relationship. I researched it and learned a lot!
       Best,

       Yeah, GSP. I noticed that. Very interesting. I wonder if the air
       is metered somehow (like MAF). These are new TB's, so I don't
       much about them. I also saw that they want you to only test on a
       dyno... Maybe they want the motor under load too.

       Hey Maribo,
       Yeah, that should be easy to do.
       For stock intake/exhaust: For the most part, since the PC's are
       "piggy back" systems, you should be able to hook it all up and
       just zero out all the tables in on a base map. And if you leave
       the O2 hooked up, it's likely that the bike won't be any
       different than OEM. In essence, you're not changing anything
       from oem. (just make sure to terminate the O2 with the provided
       resistor plug if you alter tables, or it will fight the PC with
       FI duty cycle changes)
       Based on how it looks, it's likely that dynojet's "stock map" is
       just a very small tune (like "chipping" a stock car). A little
       timing and fuel really does help. It's hard to say why they
       removed fuel in area. The Duke's do have different air boxes and
       exhaust systems, so maybe DJ noticed something on the dyno that
       day (off throttle condition, maybe?). Most companies test a few
       of the same machines and average out a conservative tune for
       of-the-shelf. As I think GSP mentioned, any experience with
       these bikes would probably make me want to take the negative
       values out of the "stock" PC map and see how she feels.
       Adding timing will likely increase EGT's, so I'm not sure I'd go
       there with that huge heat box of an OEM cat/muffler. Who knows,
       maybe I'm being too conservative... There may be folks here with
       more 690/thumper experience that can chime in. You could always
       bump it 1-2º, and check with an infrared temp gauge to see how
       much it increases. Or if it pings, you'll also know.
       For the other mods, you may want to check out the auto tune. It
       won't get you the most HP, but that wideband O2 should certainly
       help the PC keep A/F in check. I think GSP's map is a great
       place to start. I made a few guesses and tweaks to it, but for
       the most part, the bike ran awesome during a 80-100mi ride last
       weekend. (btw, I only lost about 1-2mpg)
       Personally, I'm excited to see what the 14's do on the Dyno. And
       in my experience being around tuners for a number of years,
       there is no magic map to download. There are way too many
       variables (temp, humidity, elevation, etc), and I've seen the
       same machine with basically the same mods react differently to
       tunes. You just can't beat the dyno to find where the limits
       are.
       Hope that helps.

       I installed the PC5 this morning with the map it came with; that
       is, the one for stock muffler and air box.  I couldn't tell any
       difference in performance, or much in temperature.  This riding
       is put-putting around town - a lot of stop and go.  Then I
       loaded a version of the same map with the negative numbers
       changed to zeros.  Maybe a little lower running temperature.
       Then I added the 3% fuel close to idle, so I now have GSP's
       original fuel map with no timing advance.  I think somewhat
       cooler running, maybe.  The fan doesn't come on as often at
       stoplights, but it still comes on at various times.  It is about
       80 degrees F ambient temperature.
       So now I have put the wings muffler on.  I am wondering if I
       still have to do the 15-minute idle.  Went for a ride, anyway: a
       bit more pull in the mid-range. Runs hotter, if anything.  Then
       I added 2 degrees spark advance according to GSP's first map.  I
       think it definitely is running hotter.  The fan comes on more,
       sometimes not even sitting at stop-lights.  Steady on the tenth
       notch out of 12 on the temperature gauge.  Does this make sense?
