PCV help

[jtostenr]

Looks like one of the problems was that the connector did not cut all the way through the insulation. I fixed it and checked everything with my multimeter, but still it just says 0 for speed and gear. I wonder if I am using the wrong wire....

I took some pics, does it look like it is connected correctly?

Looks to be correct ( it's a pink wire you're spliced to, correct?). You are also in the right port on the PCV. I'll have to hook mine to my laptop and check mine to see what kind of reading I get. Only thing I can think it that you still don't have a good tap (connection). Not sure what else it could be.

Very nice...what's the digital display for?

Marthy has a voltage readout.

Yep, it's the pink one. I guess I will just get rid of the connector and solder the wire on. Actually, I might try measuring the voltage at the end of the wire, where it goes into the PCV, first. Any idea what I should expect?

I have no idea, never been my thing. Are you sure the map is flashed properly? You are running adv gear rev b, right? Not sure that would cause this problem, but I am no expert. I know after I adjusted the accel pump setting that it made a definite change. Otherwise I couldn't really tell if it was working. throttle response is better though with the PCV over stock map. When I get a chance though I want to check my speed sensor while on the rear stand.

Yep, I have adv gear rev b loaded as well as the touring map. I soldered the speed sensor wire today, but didn't make a difference.

I sent an email to Dynojet support, so we'll see what they say.

Thanks for the update. Please update again if you figure this out.

Heard back from Dynojet support this morning. They're saying that it looks like I have connected to the MAP sensor and not the speed sensor. Strange because I connected there based on a video someone from the forum posted (and apparently that worked fine). I'll take another look at it tonight.

That would be my video. I don't know where I heard it was the pink wire, but I thought it came from a reputable source like Marthy or someone....

I've never run the bike while hooked up to the computer. I actually have no idea if my maps are running correctly. There's a chance my bike's messed up too I guess. I'll be keeping an eye on your situation!

 

[jtostenr]

ok, good to know. The PCV documentation says to use the pink wire on the 3-wire white connector under the tank. I thought that this 3-wire black connector was the other end of that, but I guess not. I've looked for the white connector before, but have not seen it.

 

[Scott_Thomas]

Yeah, looks like you may have tapped the wrong wire. I am pretty sure there is only one pink wire and I do believe the plug is white. Didn't notice that in your pic.

You were correct and I just re-watched your video and you selected the correct wire as per PCV's install instructions.

Speed input
- PINK wire of 3 pin WHITE connector under fuel tank. Speed sensor
is located on the engine case near the front sprocket cover.

It's working

So, I was using the wrong wire. After some searching, I found the connector under the tank inside a black rubber boot. It is a pink wire in a white 3-wire connector as the manual states.

It was nice to finally see the speed and gear reading in the software. I did the calibration at 35mph...not sure how sensitive it is, but I think I kept it pretty close to that. I didn't mess with the gear ratio settings yet, hopefully the defaults are close enough for now.

I've attached a couple of pics that will hopefully help the next guy trying to do this.

Now if I ever get around to installing the autotuner, I'll try a MAP sensor
