PCV Question, wonder if someone could explain this.

Got it installed with not too much drama. Getting the connectors stuffed through the frame was the biggest challenge. I just hope I got that clip installed correctly on the bottom of the tank. It seems dodgy to me. Will ride long tomorrow and see what we see!

K,

That map with the Yoshi Can is is off a 2014 standard. A member went out to Vegas and had his bike mapped by Power Commander. Honda changed the A/F ratio for the 2014 model ( different ECU #'s) and explains why where seeing a completely different map.

If the stock ECU mapping is so different from 2013 to 2014, why is Power Commander still only showing the one model number PCV (16-040) for both 2013 and 2014 CBs? (Note: only two maps are available from PC, shown below...)

Has it been confirmed that the stock 2014 ECU is mapped richer from Honda? Based on the two maps posted by kmoney, CIP57's explanation seems reasonable. But if the 2014s have a much richer ECU map, using the 2013 PCV map (16-040-001) would be adding much more fuel than the CB needs in the mid range. If so, would it be better to ask Power Commander to load the map made from a 2014 with Yoshimura RS-3 and Stock Air Filter (16-040-002) for use on all 2014 CBs? Would they even do that for a customer, or is it the responsibility of the end user to load and change maps from the stock default map (16-040-001)?

It would seem that several forum members are running either used or new 2013 PCVs on 2014 bikes with no issues. Which map(s) are you using and with what results?

Map No.: 16-040-001 (stock bike)
Map No.: 16-040-002 (Yoshimura RS-3, Stock Air Filter)

Your thoughts would be appreciated!

In my typical fashion, I'm probably over-thinking this, but as a 2014 owner, there seems to be a legitimate concern about which PCV map to use.

I'm still debating if I need to get a PCV with just a Staintune and K&N OEM size Air Filter. I've already blocked the PAIR Valve and installed an O2 Sensor Eliminator Plug, so there is no decel popping or apparent surging. In fact, fueling seems very smooth and responsive, much better than stock...maybe just a tad ragged after really hot, stop-and-go city driving.

I've seen PCVs for as little as $269 in the U.S. (http://www.fuelmotousa.com), but by the time I get one to Canada I'm likely looking at over $450 CDN (including: shipping, duty, taxes, exchange...).

Surely another 2014 owner with a similar setup will share their results or opinion?

Thanks in advance...
