[QUOTE="user 17459, post: 806675, member: 17459"] I too was very dissapointed with the jerky throttle when I got my stock '07. In first installed a G2 Throttle Tamer, but was not that impressed. It helped you to "manage" the jerkiness a bit better, but did nothing to alleviate it. Decided to get a PC-V with the "smoothness" from FuelMotoUSA. These guys really know that Power Commanders. The smoothness map totally fixed the problem, but at the expense of 3 - 5 MPG. I consulted with them, and they recomemnded I also install the "economy" map. Since the PC-V can have two maps that are switchable on the fly, it sounded great. Well, the bike still runs far better than stock with the "economy" map, but I do switch to the "smoothness" map when I get in tight twisties. They also sell the handlebar mount switch. I don't watch my mileage that closely, but I think I'm at the about the same mileage as before the PC-V. Another thing that really helps is to tighten up the throttle cable. Take ALL the slack out of it, and you'll also see an improvement there. Overall, I'm very pleased with my setup now. Hope this helps. Rick [/QUOTE]
