WHO'S DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR POWER COMMANDER

I am considering a power commander, and filter combo. I would get it custom mapped, but I've done alot of research on this site, and have seen alot of variations in preformance gains. With the combined purchase and map I'm looking at about $400. I guess what I'm asking do the people that have them feel it was worth the money.

Worth every penny. Even if mine breaks I will buy another one.

Same here! Bike is so much smoother.

the right pipe like arata or sato
BMC race filters
and a good tune on a pc3 will get you upwards of 10-15hp depending on if its a full or slip on

not to mention the torque curve will be a lot smoother


a pc3 should be the first mod ever done to a bike even with a stock exhaust it works so well

I have a map that I got here for mine and its a lot better then stock Ill wate for a slip on for a coustom map but so far verrrrry happy

So your bike is still pretty much stock and you noticed a positive effect from the power commander? I'm not really interested in an exhaust or filter right now, but I am very interested in improving my low-end and off-idle performance.

yes..a PC III can be used even on a stock bike!! All factory production bikes do not have a perfect air/fuel ratio for every single owner staying in every corner of the world..The bikes are just generally tuned to suit most climates or elevations. So a stock bike can have about 70% to 80% perfection only but with a PC III..a 90% odd can be attained in the hands of a good tuner.

i dynoed mine 1300 miles-138.9 hp- then at 2500 miles on same dyno- 153 hp- much smoother now-phil

whats a air-flapper modification consist of?

I have a stock bike. Thinkinkg getting apower commander? Is it easy to install your self. I'm new.

both of these sites have how tos on the pc3 and the flapper complete with pics

flapper very easy
semi trained monkey level

pc3
as long as you hook it to the lower injectors
fully trained monkey level

Love the power commander... And the K&N's.. What!

been proven more than once
K&N+1000RR=hp loss

Go BMC!!!

Err...I'm I allowed to say that?? IMO, get a race BMC filter if you dun commute often with the fireblade..or else get the road/sport filter if you use for daily commuting and occasional trackday...

Get the power commander! If you are going to mod it eventually then this will be one of the best things you can do! Even if it is the only thing you do? It will still make your bike run a whole lot smoother and better!

no complaints here.

the only complaint i have is the maps they give on the web site SUCK!!! I had my bike on the dynojet dyno all stock put down 148hp-75ftlb tq. put on a slipon, k&n, flapper mod, power commander (with the map i got from the web site) went back to get it dyno tuned and my base run was 147hp-74ftlb tq....I LOST 1HP 1FTLB TQ after all my mods... the point to my story is if your gonna get the power commander u really should get it dyno tuned. Schnitz Racing is the only place ill let tuch my bike, ryan really knows what he is doin. when he got done with it i gained 10hp 5ftlb tq from the base run. 158hp 79ftlb tq

Didn't you claim that yours is only putting out 136 hp? If so, that's pretty lame - you must have screwed something up???

Get rid of those K&N's and you'll notice a difference.

I am. I have installed PC3 2 days ago. Everything seemed to be fine untill today when I went for a ride. Aftyer a stop on a traffic light, I started to move in 1st gear and when rpms reached about 4000-5000, bike started to jerk like crazy and ignition died on me. I though first it migh be me or I am running out of gasoline(the light was on). I rode to a gas station. After that it seemed fine. In about 20 minutes of riding I was taking a U-turn and it happened agane. One time it happened when I was slowing down and pressed on clutch while downshifting. I almost fell from the bike because of it, plus looked like an idiot who can't lunch. Good thing it was happening in low rpms and not when 100+ in twisties, it would have been deadly mulfunction for sure. To me it seems like fuel supply gets cut for some reason.
I got to injectors today and reconnected all of them, also the throttle connector. It seemed to be working ok until just now when I was coming back home. It started do the same and since it's dark outside I could see the headlight going off and on. I know that I connected everything right, all the way. I will take this piece of s*** out tonight and return it.

My bad,take this back, I fixed the problem it was not PC issue. It's the positive connection on the battery that was lose. I did not tight it good enough when installing fender elimenator kit. Too bad I found it out when I put everything back together after dismountig PC. What a waste of time.
