Power commander install
#11
Did everyone remove their fuel tank when installing their PCV, or were you able to prop up the tank enough to get to the connector that sits underneath? Fuel tank removal seens easy enough, but I'd prefer not to have to empty the tank.

I removed the tank, the vent tube is easy to remove the main fuel line I found a little trickie but got there in the end, it self seals so no need to drain the tank....... Made it easier to access the main connector under the tank and running the power commander loom....

It took me about an hour to do. The YouTube video Dynojet posted is quite helpful, but little things like figuring out the fuel line disconnect and how to run the two power commander plugs behind the frame (it is super tight) added some time.

Those were the 2 items that slowed my install as well. I was shocked how difficult it was to get the plugs through the frame. Otherwise it's a breeze.

I ran the plugs over the frame next to the rear tank mount....no biggie.

I installed my PCV this past weekend. I found the fuel line the trickiest part. I think this took me a half hour to figure out.

Getting the plugs behind the frame worked for me by threading the connector plugs through at the lowest possible point and then working the cables up to the top of the frame. Under five minutes. Definitely a tight fit though.

I am running the stock oil filter and exhaust (at this point). It may be my imagination, but the the bike feels way more responsive post PCV install. The bottom end feels like far more power then pre PCV.

Once I figured it out I also threaded the connectors at the lowest point and it was a comparative breeze.

Everything I've read says Honda tuned the bike to run lean to meet emissions standards (and increase MPG). I think the PCV corrects this lean condition. I hope to test mine in a week or so.
