The great thing about the PC-V is that you can change the tuning yourself with a computer and adjust the fuel curves even with a downloaded map specific to your setup. If there is any pertinent information you'd like to share, it'd be very much appreciated.Īre you planning on racing? If not then you dont need to go to great lengths to tune your bike other than fuel mileage and having the engine running efficiently since you can damage engine components running the bike out of tune. Last and not least, is all of this worth it for a street rider who is looking for smoother acceleration at lower RPMs and less jerky throttle on/off for city driving and better performance for weekend twisties? getting a custom tune where they throw it on a dyno and really dial it in? Thoughts on either? From looking at the website for Bauce, you give all the details of your bike so is their ballpark guess much closer than the ballpark guess of the PCV map from their website? sending it in to a company (like Bauce racing) and b. So essentially, does this do what a PCV can, thereby making a PCV unnecessary? Any advantage of keeping the PCV if I get it flashed or should I just sell it?Īre the two options for flashing a. I understand that ECU flashes can alter a bunch of parameters like fan turn on temp among other things. I have also been researching ECU flashes. How close are these generally? Would you recommend a dyno tune to get it perfect? I have a Power Commander V and understand that the downloaded map from their website is just a ballpark guess.
#Power commander vs ecu flash full
exhaust? Assuming this is correct, do I just need headers and a mid pipe to make my system a full exhaust? I understand that cat delete does a good chunk of the work of making the bike breathe better so are gains from headers and a mid pipe marginal?
Is cat delete also referred to as a Y pipe? Is a full exhaust composed of a. Stolen bikes belong in local subredditsĪlright I'm new to world of tuning and have a few questions.This is a lengthy process due to using read only data, by contrast a Power commander runs live data, meaning an adjustment can be made while the bike is running and the results instantly measured giving a much quicker way of completing the fuelling process.Ī Power commander on it’s own can only do one function that being the fuelling however it does this very very well, gaining a better result easier than ECU mapping, but is unable to change other features and therefore restricts the overall gain.įor the best results possible an ECU base flash alongside a PCV is always the best option getting the best of both worlds.Īnnex 1: With multi function maps as standard these are always best optimised through the ECU as a Power Commander acts as a mask and will not adjust when different modes are selected causing potential fuelling problems.Showing off Bikes or Gear?

Click Here /r/motorcycles stickers Maps designed for other vehicles may have similar parts I.E exhaust, air filter however the fine details in construction of the bikes, how the air box is fitted the build tolerances and even how the headers are fitted change the characteristics of air flow and the demands of fuelling/ignition.ĮCU mapping on standard equipment is done in a way which involves taking lots of recorded data then pulling out the information from the bike, editing tables in accordance with the given data and our reference points then sending this information back to the ECU for another round of testing and further adjustment.
Only a full custom map covers fuelling, a quick flash with any map is irrelevant unless it has been tailored specifically to your bike that means running the bike on a rolling road as is in the configuration to be ran therefore differing exhaust configurations require different mapping tables (we always offer baffle in/out maps along with wet maps). Most commonly asked question for a tuner, “do i need a power commander if I get an ECU flash?”
