So for the new year I made the following mods.

1) Hyperpro fork springs
2) Hyperpro shock
3) Latest PCIII map (made in 2009 for GenII i.e. 2006 and above
models)
4) Enabled the PCIII accelerator pump option. This gives the bike an
extra squirt of fuel when cranking the throttle for tens of engine
cycles.

Also had the valves checked (all in spec) and new Pilot Powers
mounted. The bike with ~28k miles now functions better that at any
time of its life. Me ready for summer!

Picture of pretty, new shock below:

Tell me more about that PC III map, any chance of sharing it?
I've already tried a couple of different ones and have been
thinking about getting a custom map made on a dyno.

I didn't know there was an accelerator pump option- I'll have
to see about enabling that on mine. I don't actually have my
PC III installed at the moment, I had it in there but removed
it after seeing the mileage drop precipitously.

Gen I and Gen II maps aren't directly interchangeable. Mines an '07,
so yes, I used the Gen II version of Wally's Smoothness Map.

I lost a computer since I downloaded the original map and couldn't
find the stock version of what I was running. I downloaded what I had
in the bike which I richened at low rpm because I still wasn't happy
with the on/off throttle response. I compared them and it is quite a
bit different than this map he did in 2009 so I'm sure it wasn't the
map I used as a baseline.

Anyway, this new one works as good as anything I've tried. Mileage
still shows around 46 mpg which is probably a tad optimistic, but it
always gets better as the weather gets hotter.

Put new plugs and a new air filter in it too, so that may have had
some effect.

The mileage reported by the onboard display reflects the injector
pulse widths output by the ECU, not the actual pulse widths delivered
by the PC III. So it won't be anywhere near correct, and since most
of the PC III map will be (+), it's going to be optimistic. The only
way to figure your actual mileage is by using the fuel pump numbers
and the trip meter.
