"Doomsday cycles" may be able to do it

OMG! I'm "pulling the trigger" on a "Powercommander PC-III USB" and i can't believe how silly simple it is to install!

Tomorrow i need to assemble two vacuum gages to Syncronise my throttle bodies

If we didn't have an "Insider" there I would not have put it in.

Tripp has my confidence to get it right the first time around.

Joe (I think that was his name...sales bitch up front) is still a TOOL in my book. NOTHING will ever change that...

uhhh-ohhh..My old "Windows98" notebook likely will not communicate properly with the Powercommander USB..It has a USB port but the literature states early "Win98" software doesn't properly support the USB.

If that's the case,what is my cheapest option for communicating/downloading to my new PC-III powercommander?

find somebody else with a laptop you can borrow.

...not their lap but the laptop COMPUTER!!!

You should also check between USB 1 & USB 2 I believe voltage and signaling are slightly different.

Thanks for the info guys.
I did get my hands on a CD service manual for an S1.
Its the right year but the wrong model.Should be the same for what I need though.
As far as the bearings go I may need some more help.
Thanks...
Yeah I'm a Manning
I prob should've spent a little more time on my codename huh?

JIM...Get yourself a bottle of MOTUL "Racing Brake Fluid 600" it is like 10-12.00 a bottle.

If you have a Vacuum Brake Bleeder it makes life easy.

...just load xp

That might work...but depending on how old the laptop is it may still not work properly if its a USB1 port...not possitive...I'm not the computer wizard.

Hey - I'm posting up my search results for a place to stay (I almost typed crash and decided we should stay away from that word) in GA...check it out and let me know what you think.}

You totally jinxed yourself brother!

Never, ever say how easy something is or was until you know you are done or you'll be doing this!

Thanks for the advice Scott.I'll certainly use it today.I'm going to try and put something together to sync my throttle bodies.My cheapest option seems to be a second vacuum gage to match the one i have.But then i'll need the correct size vacuum lines and valving to calibrate.I also remember seeing a mercury stick setup at a local performance shop.That option may be easiest,but a bit more expensive.

I'm tired and feeling sapped monetarily with this project.It has to end very soon

Win98? Holy crap... More than likely, your laptop is going to choke if you try and stuff XP down it's throat. I tried that with my Mom-in-law's desktop PC and then she called me every day for a month because it always locked up. Yeah, that was fun...

Borrow Jim's laptop. Just don't look in the folder titled "Jim's gay porn collection."

Greg when Liz gets home from school I'm going for a ride on the bike. I can drop it off for you if you want.

She should be home ~noon

Thanks Jim.I'll be here the rest of the day wrenching.But i haven't received my new Powercommander yet.Nor confirmation of my order.

I took the easy,but more expensive and much more accurate route this morning.

I WAS going to get a second vacuum gage for $25.But was told they need(crude) calibration to each other first.And the needles tend to bounce wildly due to the pulsing.

I went to the local Ducati dealer and spent $100 on a Motion-Pro stick type manometer that they actually stock,or as we used to call them...Mercury sticks,but mercury is now outlawed.I can sync throttle bodies accutately.Useless on Buells' though

I just ran my first datalogging session on ECM Spy-- NO DICE!! Stupid USB port on my stupid company laptop is so flaky that if you even look at it wrong, it'll drop the connection. I thought I had it running, but it must have jostled itself loose by the end of my driveway. The result? A two-minute, 30Kb, corrupted logfile.

Any thoughts?

Update: I just pryed up the little nubs that hold the USB plug in place a little bit with my wife's nail file. It seems to hold tight now.











OK, it was MY nail file. Shut up.

I like filing my nails on occasion.Better that biting them.

I have a nice narrow "Mill Bastard" (seeing as i'm a "Mill Rat") file for the job.

Nah, just like bike riding - you don't really forget how and it's only as dangerous as you make it!

I feel great today and know spring will get here when it gets here : ]

True...I'll never forget my thoughts as i followed my friends through the gated double black diamond "glades" at Sunday river I've never been so frustrated.

You never forget...like riding a bicycle
