Title: Has anyone got a map for PC3 serial?
Post by: Hooli on Wednesday, 18 April 2018, 01:34 AM
My copy has gone missing over the years what with loosing a load of IT kit when i split with my ex etc.

It's no longer available off the power commander website either.


I need any map for a serial PC3 to get the software to connect so I can save mine off the bike. Can anyone help please?

Doesn't matter I've found it.

Now just swearing at the USB to serial adapter that refuses to admit it's drivers are installed.

Title changed...

Seems from reading google I need any map file for a serial PCIII to load into the software before it'll communicate with the bike properly, has anyone got one please?

I can only download USB maps from their website & they won't work on this version of the software.

If any pc serial map can be used then Jay looks like he's found some as all for big vtwins but if it helps worth a look .

That's great cheers, I'll try them. Not sure they'll work though as I managed to find a map for some other twin & got the same error earlier.

I wonder if loading the first map sets the rpm range & other bits for the map table so it has to match the table on the PC3 to copy it over?

Thanks Barmy but I've just found a backup copy of mine. Been attacking old broken computers & recovered a copy off one of them, I knew I never though anything away for a reason.


Panic over, thanks for all the ideas guys.


Now if only I could get the USB cable to install on this laptop....

Useless info for all - I was right about the size of the map earlier.

Big twin maps only seem to go to 6k, 14 maps go to 10k rpm - hence the map on the bike was mismatched size wise to the map I had on the laptop earlier.
