Power Commander v. Nothing

Having studied all the postings I opted for the Power Commander. I am sure the Tuneboy is an excellent product, however I just wanted a simple product to sort the fueling issues.

The PC was fitted and tuned on Thursday by the UK importers. My bike is standard and therefore Dynojet now have standard mapping available.

The results - Pre PC fitting; 117.93 bhp and 74.67 torque. Post PC fitting and tuning; 120.24 bhp and 76.24 torque. The 2.3 bhp and 1.5 torque increase is at almost all points in the rev range.

Nice increase to have, but the real difference to note is the air/fuel ratio. Pre PC it was 14, post fitting it runs around 13. Importantly at 3000 revs it is now at 11.9 and at 3250 it is 11.8. That should sort the low speed glitch.

How does it ride? Sorry folks, not ridden yet. The bike went to Dynojet in a van and now it is raining.

I can tell you the exhaust note on tickover and throttle blip is deeper, an obvious by-product of the change in air/fuel ratio.

Of couse I am itching to get out there to ride and feel the difference.

Rain cleared, roads dried and off for a blast.

Power Commander = better throttle response, improved drive, loss of the low speed fueling glitch.

Power Commander v. Nothing, Power Commander wins.

Are you actually from York? I thought I was alone here in gods own motorbike county.

Don't know if SD York is there from but I is - Orange SD with Akras !

Yes SD York is in York, not too far from the Helmsley TT circuit.

I am often found on my Orange SD being followed by my wife on either her Moto Guzzi or her Bimota.

Sounds like a night at squires in sherburn in elmet might be on the cards at somepoint this summer. I regularly start out up in durham, meet mates from bridlington and wakefield down at helmsley, then ride the back roads down to sherburn for tea and stickies.

Oh, and by the way it's not Fast Black, it's Faster Black.
