Get the 3/4" tall instead
Said to be the longest / tallest trestle still in service in the US.
They work good until they don't.
They may cause a few gremlins before they die too.
Maybe someone dyno-tuned the bike with it, or loaded a map from another dyno tune.
That kind will add or subtract fuel with each button press, but if the bike runs well, I wouldn't touch it.
Same as my Bazzaz....nothing says "take it off the bike" like it leaving me on the side of the road....
Ouch. Seems like a reasonable mod for someone riding to Alaska...
If we track people who are having problems with their bikes, the first thing to check is any of these programmers....
I was stumped myself as I didn't want to believe my Bazzaz programmer could let me down........but it did and more than once.
With this attachment only, what benefit is there really?
A tune for his Akropovic exhaust
I wasn't tracking this question...
Fuel programmers such as Power Commander (and the defunct Bazzaz) are apparently easier to fine tune the AFR as they can be done right on the dyno without any special programs.....I was able to hook my Bazzaz up to my laptop to check my AFR as well as set my idle and switch between different maps if I wanted to, in that way it was a great device.
However, when they crap out (and they often do) they can leave you on the side of the road.....

No worries, if it dies, or you have electrical gremlins, just disconnect it.
Your bike will still run ok with a full exhaust and no tune, and the stock air/fuel ratio will not be lean enough to damage anything.
Your PowerCommander likely has a tune loaded in it...but it could also just be connected and have a zero/stock map in it, and your bike is still running fine.
You can disconnect it and ride the bike and see if you notice any difference.
The pc is just a 'piggyback' module, so any changes it makes go away when it is disconnected, nothing is permanently changed in the ecu.
If your bike doesn't feel as strong with the pc discomnected, then it has a good tune loaded in it, plug it back in and it will go right back to how it was before.
or.....my recommendation is to get the ECU flashed and not bother with the aftermarket programmer.....
Yes, and you can get more lower rpm timing, the fans on sooner, and the top speed limiter turned off, all things the PowerCommander can't do.
Much appreciated! Great peace of mind.
What is the factory top speed limiter set to?
186 mph.......
