So, tore the bike apart today to install the last bit of upgrades (520/+3 Rear, PCV, SH4, smog plates, +4 ignition rotor, new air filter). Once I got into the airbox I was a little grossed out 
At first glance I'm like DAMN that's a dirty filter!
LICK FOR HIGH RES!
Then I was like EWWW look at all the wildlife in there!
LICK FOR HIGH RES!
Once I got around to the other side I was beyond ewww.
LICK FOR HIGH RES!
LICK FOR HIGH RES!
I took my shop vac and sucked it all clean before attempting to lift/remove the old filter! Luckily it was super clean underneath, yay!
Installed my velocity stacks:
Installed my smog block off plates:
LICK FOR HIGH RES!
Why anodize them blue?? lol. Nobody will ever see em under there!!
Installed my home made slide stops:
Installed the new BMC race air filter
Buttoned her all back up and gave her a test.
Had a super weird issue with the Power Commander V. I tapped into my speedo healer V4 to get the speed signal so I can do per gear tuning with the PCV, but after I had everything installed, map uploaded, firmware updated, the PCV wouldn't read my throttle position (TPS stayed at 0%) and wouldn't read any speed from my speed signal wire!!!
I called DynoJet support, they determined that the firmware update didn't complete totally and messed up the unit. He walked me through updating it again, it still failed! He told me I had probably swapped the black and clear fuel injector connections under the tank (doubt the bike would run if I did that! lol), so I took the tank back off, rechecked all the connection, everything was perfect, still no TPS!! I called again and was given different instructions to flash the unit:
In the power commander software tell it to update the firmware, pick the firmware file, click update. After a while it'll show "boot loader", click on that, click update, pick the firmware file again. When it says "firmware update complete" DO NOT unplug the USB cable. Exit the power commander software (DO NOT reboot), go back in, do the same firmware update steps again, this time it'll work properly.
Once it was flashed correctly my TPS and speed sensor worked perfect! (on a side note, my TPS is out of spec at 16/89 not sure if that will cause any issues, like will my ECU think I'm only at 89% throttle when I want WOT?! I calibrated the PCV so it reads 100% at WOT) I was able to calibrate all the gears and create a per gear map with 250rpm fueling resolution. All ready for the dyno tune.... or am I? I read people are having REALLY good success with the PCV AutoTune when using per gear maps (because the tuning required for 1st gear is way different than 6th, etc.) The only issue is my bike doesn't have an O2 sensor so I'd have to drill a hole and weld a bung in. Problem is with my super shorty exhaust I'm pretty tight for room to fit an O2!!
Overall an amazing day wrenching. Runs great now, sounds MEAN with the +4 ignition advance rotor, super quick throttle response! Can't wait till I can ride it
