On a related note, does anyone have an opinion on the safety of riding a tuned bike with the pc3 disconnected? I've been informed of would need removing beforehand so that would mean a 2-3 hour ride with no custom map..... would that cause any problems other than crap fuelling?

The Power Commander is plug and play. All it does is intercept the ECU commands and replace them with the custom map which it transmits to the FI system and plugs.You disconnect it from the ECU, plug in the original connectors and you're back to the OEM map.
Would this be something we should be telling your insurance company about ?
