Re: Power Commander any good??
sv1000 is rough as a bag of gravel below 3k revs - apparently a PC3 will sort this out but there's no such issue with the 650.
If you get a full exhaust system and mess with various other bits like cams & air filter etc.... I'd imagine a PC3 would help get the engine running in harmony with all these bits

If you want it remapped so it runs better, go to a tuning place that can use a Yoshi box to remap your standard ECU, the end result is the same but its cheaper to do... Do a search IIRC its been covered a few times.

Re: Power Commander any good??
the more research i do the more it seems that.... the only + of the powecommander is to remap ya bike after puttin a exhaust system on with out actually modifying the ecu so therefore you can unplug it and put the bike back to standard so therefore wont affect any warranty. is this correct?

Re: Power Commander any good??
You can flash the ECU back to standard settings as well.
With a PC3 you'll still need to pay out for dyno time to set it up.
