of the wires is not important. When using the
Autotune kit one position will hold a base map
and the other position will let you activate the
learning mode. When the switch is “CLOSED”
Autotune will be activated. (Set to Switch
Input #1 by default.)

Shifter- (Input 1 or 2) These inputs are for use with the

CRANK Dynojet quickshifter. Insert the wires from the
Dynojet quickshifter into the SHIFTER inputs.

2 Prop the front of the fuel tank in the up position.
3 Route the PCV harness down the left hand side of the bike.

4 Loosen the bolts securing the fuel tank bracket to allow room for the PCV
harness to fit underneath.

Tighten these bolts once the installation is complete.

5 Route the PCV harness underneath the fuel tank bracket as shown in Figure A.

7 Attach the connectors from the PCV to the stock connector as shown in
Figure C.

Verify these connectors do not interfere with the fuel line when the fuel tank is
installed back into position.

9 Using the supplied posi-tap, attach the GREY wire
of the PCV to the BLUE wire on the ECU.

This is pin #5 on the smaller ECU connector. The

pin locations are numbered on the back of this
connector for reference.

The wire tap used in Figure E is NOT a posi-tap.

This is an older crimp-on style wire tap.

FIG.F 10 Using the supplied Velcro, secure the PCV in the tail section of the bike as
shown in Figure F.

It is recommended to route the PCV harness underneath the sub-frame

bracket.

Make sure to clean both surfaces with the supplied alcohol swab before
attaching.

11 Reinstall the main seat and the passenger seat.

Tuning Notes:

This bike uses a fly-by wire system, so conventional tuning can not
be performed for all RPM and throttle ranges.

The GREY wire from the PCV is attached to the throttle blade angle sensor
of the throttle bodies which is NOT directly correlated to the throttle grip
position. Because of this when setting the throttle position in the PCV software
we recommend on resetting only the closed position after the bike has
completely warmed up. Use the arrow key (<) next to CLOSED to perform this
step and then click OK. Do not try to set the OPEN position unless you are on
a dyno and above 11000rpm.

You will notice that in the maps there are not detailed values below 10500rpm
at 60-100%. This is because the throttle blades will not open more than 60%
below this RPM range no matter how much throttle input is given. Therefore
this area can not be tuned.
