For those who have or are going to install a PC III and have already done this mod, do you leave it as is (mod'ed) or do you return to the stock settings before installing the PC III?

Funny you should ask. When I put the PC on, I left the Barbarian Mod (BM from here on) in effect. The bike ran great, but gas mileage went to hell. So I reset the O2 settings back to stock. I thought I felt the throttle response off idle get worse again, but wasn't sure.
A couple of weeks later, I ventured off on a 3400 mile trip to the Smokeys - yes, we did the dragon. After several days of riding - what I can only refer to in public as "very spirited" riding in the Mountains, I decided to re-do the BM while at a hotel one morning. The throttle response off idle got much better again. Also, I saw no gas mileage difference with or without the BM.
So, my answer is to install the PC and keep the BM going! :blink:
