Power Commander X-Bikes

Well, a big thank you to Chris at X-Bikes, he did a great job in setting up my PC3 on the Superduke R, having had the Akro's and map installed I was far from happy with the fueling,

The snatchy throttle had been 80% cured by the G2 cam, so after some research and recommendations X-Bikes was chosen to sort it out, with a PC3, Looked at the Dyna Pro, but not available till the end of the year,

X-Bikes dyno computer is under reading by 5%, apparently dynojet have inspected it, but he does not want to change it as he will loose his data, so add 5% to the graph below,

In standard form it put out 114bhp, which Chris increased to 122bhp, but with a much smoother delivery,

So a 7 to 8bhp gain, but the real gain is much better fueling (KTM Fueling is bad IMO), the dyno showed that the Akro map was too indeed too lean in lower throttle positions and too rich in the higher ones,

she really is now a different bike, for me this was not about power gain but predictable smooth riding, it really has taken the fear of nasty surprises going into corners, the instant throttle is there, but I can accept that,

Set up, PC3 with split map-Akro Evo Slip Cans-Baffles out, (61005099200) Akro Header-standard SDR fitment, DNA Air Filter, Snorkel taken off airbox,

Looking good. Did you enjoy watching your baby getting spanked?

yeah, but it's all well within what the engine is designed to accept, and it was done by a professional, I was a lot less nervous than I thought I would be, but Chris really involved me in the process and explained everything, I was allowed in the Dyno room (ears projection supplied!) and was made to feel really comfortable, and let much more educated about Dyno's and my bikes performance,

What really came home to me is that you are paying for the knowledge of the guy on the dyno, yes Chris has the latest equipment, as do a lot of others, but it's his experience on KTM's what made the difference IMO,

Again, add 5% to chart figures

Yes, it's a well fueled bike, with an instant (opposed to snatchy or jerky) throttle, remember I have the G2 cam,
