power commander for sale
« on: 02 December 2012, 03:40:56 pm »
I have a PCIII USB to fit the earlier FZ6 (part number 410 411)
When I fitted it to my FZ it made a huge difference, more go and better economy. Took it off when I traded it in, not giving it to the greedy dealer!!!
Want £130 for it, will post it for free to UK.

I might well be interested as I'd like a bit more oomph out of the bike now, but how easy is it to fit and set up?

Fitting is really simple, plugs straight in to existing loom. To set up and play with maps you will need to download the software from dynojet's web site (it's free), also download the FZ6 fitting instructions free from dynojet.
If you want to play with different maps while the PC III is fitted you will need to buy a usb adaptor lead (about a tenner off ebay) which then lets you plug your laptop into the PC III and load in different maps (which are available, again free from dynojet). I'm no mechanic but had no trouble loading and trying out different maps. Because I had a custom exhaust on mine there was no ready made map (have a look on dnojet's web site to see the list of ready made maps) so I just tried a few until I got one that really suited the bike. Once fitted and loaded with the best map it really did make a big difference, my mate on his street triple struggled to keep up in acceleration runs from any speed . I did a couple of track days on it and there wasn't a lot coming past, I never believed how much difference it could make. I've just bought an old Daytona 955i and the first thing I've done is buy a PCIII for it (had to get it from USA).
So no worries fitting and loading maps, really is simple, and it realy does make a difference.

Ah, good. I had looked at getting the gear counter, but there wasn't a plug-in version for my bike, so it would have involved cutting into the loom which was not something I fancied!

Slight snag, I don't have a laptop, but I'm sure I can borrow one :)

My bike is as stock, so that shouldn't be a problem, although I'm thinking of removing the cat pipe as that is also supposed to give smoother/ better power delivery, so I presume the PCIII will also help with that?

Some of the maps on the dynojet site are specifically for decat bikes.
I took my exhaust to a local specialist who cut the box at the front, removed some of the baffles and then welded it together again so it looked standard but didn't sound it. That, a decat pipe and the PCii made it fly  :lol
