Re: Power Commander - worth it?
no gain to be had for what they cost. you might get an extra 2-3bhp
much better getting your bike to how you want it in regards to filters and things then take it to get your ecu done on a dyno. |

Re: Power Commander - worth it?
of what i have been told, it's better to get a new map on the ECU rather than have a PC

Re: Power Commander - worth it?
what power are you trying to command, if you want a faster bike then buy one. Save the money for petrol.

Re: Power Commander - worth it?
PC V has the option for 2 maps so you could set one for power one for eco.
But the SV is dame good balance as it is. If you have different exhaust and swop the baffles in\out .it can stop the popping on over run . Switch is handlebar mounted. But if you only have one set up why bother, more to go wrong. You need to dyno the bike just the same with the PC to get the map spot on anyway.
