I have had power commanders fitted to every bike I have owned with fuel injection. The race bikes both have them and due to engine tuning have both got custom Maps.
I have had a PCIII on the RSVR for a few months and had a downloaded map off the dynojet website. I got the exact map for my bike with Acro Exhausts and Aftermarket airbox. I thought I would put the bike on the dyno and see how well it was running. I bought the bike with a dyno sheet showing 127bhp at the rear wheel. After running it again with the PCIII it was down 5bhp! We set the map to zero and I got the 5bhp back so the powercommander was loosing me 5bhp and not helping anywhere through the rev range!
I now have a custom map which has made it run much better and gains power all the way through the rev range and at all throttle positions. Now running over 132bhp at the back wheel and has more torque.
Just goes to show that just a plug and play system doesn't always help!
