Power Commander power graph print outs.
 

Hello chaps, just got my bike de-restricted at the weekend and i must say, what a difference it makes! One thing i did notice was quite a substatial flat spot/lack of power between 5500RPM and about 7000rpm. Would the installation of a power commander sort this little problem out? I'm not looking for extra power, just maybe the flat spot smooted out a tad.

If any body has any print outs before and after a Power commander has been fitted i'd like to have a look at them. I've got a K5 pointy. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this, Jim :D

Jim - I have never bothered with a PC on my SV1000 - I did however have the throttles balanced and a custom remap done this year by Steve Jordan Motorcycles - that made a lot of difference, and was a lot cheaper than a PC3 :wink:

I didn't realise that was an option, worth looking into by the looks of it. Cheers for that.

A PC3 can be purchased , installed on your SV, deinstalled and then resold later if you so wish.
Just something to bear in mind .. :wink:

can the standard ecu be remapped then?

i'd assumed you had to pay the £300 (or whatever - too much IMO) for a PC to get the mapping sorted.

nope the standard ECU can be remapped.

Alot cheaper than getting a PC3 fitted and has consistantly shown to produce more power thnby using a PC3

Exactly what I did too. Now, no flat spots anywhere.

where would i go to get my standard ECU remapped?

My understanding of the Steve Jordan solution was that it increased or decreased the fuelling across a range of revs so if it gets rid of a flat spot in 1 place this is at the expense of performance in another area.

Is this correct?

I thought it was purely a solution for getting your bike to run with an aftermarket race can and filter and not a solution for optimising the fuelling.
