installed PCV on my new Nightrod Special. Called the Vendor & Dynojet for suggestions on the proper location for the harness/ECM connectors - under the passenger seat, where it angles down, above the fuse block.
Bike ran super all week - until I put a passenger on the back - no acceleration, dumping fuel (plugs are black and smell of fuel). Checked all the connectors - nothing appears to be crushed on either connectors or harness(s). Checked the PCV on computer - no status lights or errors on log.
Bike runs like DOG DOO. I'm gonna have to put stock pipes and aircleaner back on, reconnect the O2's, and see if that fixes it...
OTHERWISE - a week old bike ends up a on trailer to the stealership, which I pray I can get covered under warranty (for whatever the issue ends up being).
one would think, with the lack of real estate under the bitch pad, they would find (or suggest) a better place for those connectors to live, other than where they could be compromised by a passenger (and not even a fat one) - or make the PCV harness so it could be located in a safer place..
While I like riding solo, the opportunity to bring someone home is appealing. I'd hate to have to sacrifice that, just so I can make the bike run properly with aftermarket pipes/air cleaner (V&H Widows - K&N with cover on).
I'm really kinda pissed at the moment. I consider myself a fairly experienced wrench, having worked on all my own metrics, evo's & twin cams since a kid.
Suggestions, hate mail, prayers are welcome...
