Why would anyone buy a Power Commander
- Thread starter FloydV
- Start date
I'm waiting for this for the GEN II 
Ask Smithabusa at SH.org. This is all new to me. I would bet it could be done.
Whoever wrote the software, which you can download for free from the link in the first post could probably tell you. The software looks impressive.
I thought PC was $300 or so. This is less I think. Coming from a programming background, I would much rather get at the original code (in the ECU), than to over ride it with another device.
But again, I'm not advertising. I would want to have a lot of people say it really is as good as the claim. I don't have either the flash code or PC. And, if you start changing settings like making the f/a mix to lean, you could burn up your motor. I think there is a standard map that you could put back.

I have been doing a lot of reading on this subject. I will be tuned through the ECU in the near future. (Atleast that's the plan) It will be on a dyno, also. The process is a bit more time consuming, because you can not tune on the fly. The way I see it, just the fact of being able to eliminate all the excess gear we generally add to the bike to get the performance we want. Not to mention the performance beyond what a PCIII can do.
They are currently working on the Gen2 stuff, but with the driver mode select, it exponentially multiplies the number of files in the ECU.
I'll let everyone know how it goes...

It just eliminates the extra gear, but a PC is nice because you unplug it and go back to stock easily. You can also load new maps on easier I would think.

Judging from what I've have read, it's just as easy. You plug the computer/harness in and send the new file to the ECU. I do not think you can extract the stock map from the ECU, but I'm sure Suzuki did not tune every single bike. They just have a "stock" set-up that's loaded to every bike. I believe the original stock map can be found on the website where you can download the software.
I plan on having mine done here pretty soon. Then, later I will get the software and the harness so I can tweek it as needed.

I think there is HP limit to the factory ECU but I bow to other peoples knowledge on the matter especially SmithBusa
yah .....oooookay.
I think I'd personally gather as much imformation as possible from as many points of referance again, as possible before I'd assume any singlev on is law but, that's just me however, I have a pcr111 with the cheesemans map loaded into it based upon my mods and, at what alltitude I operate in but, then again....what do I know?????

The good news for those who love power commanders the used market is flooded with pcs for 02 to 07 bikes who are now using ecu flashing
My wifes bike made 230 hp using ecu editor
A local buddy here made 280 hp using ecu editor
There is no hp limit per say, if you upgrade fuel system amd injectors etc, there are guys running 650cc injectors being controlled by the stock ecu
My wifes bike made 180 on motor, and 230 on spray, amd nos comes on if I arm the toggle switch, are between 6000 and 10800 rpm, and throttle greater than 85 percent
At the instant my nos comes on, the map switches to the secondary map where I am adding fuel for nos and retarding timing 2 degrees. I have my liniter set to 11200, no 6th gear governor etc
In my case it would have eliminated a
Power commander
Power commander hub
Power commander map switch
Power commander ignition module
Window switch
Wide open throttle switch

many dyno shops have these, some of the best tuners in the country have the ecu flasher

The list goes on for a ways.
The neat thing about ecu flashing, say you are a few buddies all have an 02-07 bike, not everyone needs a programming box, it doesn't stay on the bike, buy 1 box, with extra bike harnesses and you can all share the programming box.
You can also build your own to save money, what I offer has been designed onto a circuit board for more robust connection, has the convenience LED's, in a case with professional wiring harness, and is tested before it ships on my ECU here to verify it all works
