I have the first two sections of my PC5 software tutorila updated. That should get you far enough to save the map you have in your PC5 so you can reload it when necessary.
HOW TO LOAD MAPS AND AN OVERVIEW OF PC5 SOFTWARE v1.0.6.4
Follow steps in the intro to download PC5 v1.0.6.4 to your computer. The software must be installed on a non-Mac to open and use it. A laptop is most convenient but you can use a desktop.
If the PC5 is more than a year or two old, you may also want to update the PC5 firmware. I did. Check the firmware version in the PC5 by following step 21 of my tutorial. If necessary, get the firmware file onto your desktop from the DJ site or and then plug into the PC5. Click the firmware icon on the desktop with the PC5 software open and I believe it updates the PC5 by itself. if you are in a hotspot or direct connection to internet, just follow step 36 of the tutorial and that will update automatically.
You could save your current map to the desktop on your computer and then zero out the same map in your PC5 and rename and save that. BUT So that you can follow the tutorial from step 1, I'd suggest downloading any Dynojet map from their site and placing that on your desktop instead. You know, right now you have no map on your desktop so you will not be able to follow the tutorial and since this is your first go at it, it's probably best to stick to the program as much as possible. So download any DJ map for a Gen2 ZX-14. It does not matter which one because you will be turning it into a zero map anyway.
Then you are all set and everything that comes up on your computer should be the same as what came up on mine.
When you have your DJ map on the desktop, start at step 1 and go through step 8. Mess around with those a few times to get a little familiar with the software. The computer will not be connected to the PC5 yet so there is no chance you could change or erase the map in your PC5.
Don't worry, you cannot lose the map in your PC5 unless you load a new one to the PC5. That is how the PC5 is erased, you load a new map over the old. Of course you will check to see the tuners map is stored on your desktop before you load the DJ map over the tuner map that will remain in the PC5 even as it is saved on your desktop.
Follow steps 9 through 18 to save the tuner's map. Go ahead and check that the map you have saved on the desktop is identical to the one in the PC5. When you have confirmed the tuners map is saved, follow step 19 to load the DJ map to your PC5 overwriting the tuners map in the PC5--but it's ok because you will have the tuner's map saved on your desktop. If you want to be extra safe, go ahead and save the tuner's map to a thumb drive as well. If anything happens, you can always retrieve it from the thumb drive.
When you have accomplished saving the tuner's map and loading the DJ map, I will update more of the tutorial and tell you how to make the DJ map a zero map. Then you start the bike and run it on stock fueling to compare.
