[QUOTE="Eric L, post: 948791, member: 21162"] When I had the PCV in my bike, I installed the PC software on my laptop. found the uselesspickles map via google, and opened it in the PC software. If you open the default map for a stock FJR from PC, you'll see its got more fields but they are similar. I copy and pasted the pickles map into a PCV map and saved it (they are like excel files) . I tried both on the 09 and was hard pressed to feel the difference. I think my mileage suffered as compared to a stock bike because the smoothness maps enrich fuel delivery at low % throttle (where I spend a lot of time while commuting on back roads. I also think the map as presented by useless is a little lean for my 09 at high percent throttle open. After having removed the PCV, I certainly see the throttle is less smooth but keeping zero slack in the throttle cable helps me. My buddy's 07 is clearly much harder to keep smooth than the 09 at low throttle. You can bring your laptop into the garage and do the loading next to the bike. You can also install TWO maps with a simple toggle (on off) switch attached so you can swap back and forth between stock and modified to gauge what's what. I really doubt the $50 map is any better than the PCV map for the FJR or Pickles work. [/QUOTE]
