Power Commander, good or bad?

[wackyrider]

Fitting a K&N to the Gixxer, plus gonna fit a Leo Vince GP Pro muffler on it. Is a Power Commander recommended Is it worth the money? Can the standard ECU be tuned to suit the mods?

Is there another brand I should be looking at? Ivan???

Standard has very little tunabillity.PC is your basic ECU for mild performance upgrades.If you are adding decent boost then you should look at a higher quality fully programable aftermarket ECU

You can use ECU editior software free you just need to get the interface plug. The only problem is getting soemone with a dyno who knows how to use it most only do Power commanders etc. You can do it yourself just means you need a data logger and time.

I have a PC3 on the GSX14, very good.
The GSX14's ECU isn't that high tech if remapping.

Wouldn't put a Powercommander on the B-King,
Factory ECU can be remapped and tweaked way beyond
anything a Powercommander can ever do.

I consider my Gen1 Busa to be somewhere between the
two and either is a viable option.

Horses for courses, some models are better suited than others.

Powercommanders are shit. Bike interceptor is the way forward and I've heard a rumor about tuning them but can't drop that yet..

Yellow is on the ball... ecu editor is a great thing, booster told me about it a few years ago .. if anyone knows, its him.
