V Strom PCIIII Question

DenniSMC · Yesterday, 10:37 AM

I am a new VStrom owner. I have had my bike for a week. My bike has a pcIII USB and 17/44 gearing. The last few nights I am finally banging the throttle to the stop to see what it can do. I have a track day weekend coming up and plan to control ride. So I will be rolling on the throttle hard. My bike seems to bog at 3/4 or higher throttle at any rpm.

My guess is that it either needs a fuel filter, air filter or the throttle needs to be reset on the PCIII. Or it's got some crazy fuel Eco map loaded. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same issue.. Flat spot in around 7k really noticed it in 3rd. Thought it was the fuel pump...

Took it to the Mechanic that set the original map on the PC3 and he re-mapped it and the problem is 99% Gone.. still notice it just a bit..

Said that our fuel blends have changed (not for the better) and re-mapping the FI was the correct fix, saw nothing mechanically wrong.

Good Luck...A proper mapping is worth the money if you have a dyno tuner you trust to dial it in...

I just tried to plug my Windows 7 pc into my PCIII USB and it would not connect. I wonder if there is a specific driver or perhaps win7 is a no go. I tried finiding more info, but had no luck.

In the beginning I thought it was RPM specific around 6500-7000, but after playing a bit I find its throttle position and not RPM. So Resetting the throttle position seems to be the way to go to start I think. If I can ever get my PC to see it.

Make sure you are either using the 9v battery adapter to starting the bike when connected to the software. Unit needs power to communicate.

The unit is in the bike. I tried with the bike running and with it just in the on position. I got the bike used and do not have the 9 Volt adapter. I stole the able from my wife's blue tooth speakers. Its possible that it charges, but doesn't communicate. I am trying to find another cable or a friend with a PCIII near by to plug into their PC.

The cable was bad. I bought a new one and all is well. Now to try a less Eco friendly map.
