Power Commander Maps...Dangerous?

[Justyntym]

Is it slightly dangerous to run other member's PC maps on your bike or we just making
very minor adjustments and it's no big deal?

My understanding is if you run a motor to lean, you can screw it up big time,
burnt pistons etc.

Personally,
I think there is a "viral hype" regarding the necessity to install a Power Commander, on a street ridden bike.
The benefits to installing one on a stock engine, excepting the operation with a full exhaust, are very minimal.
The only individuals benefiting from this current trend, are the pockets of the Folks at Dyno-Jet.
They are entitled to eveery penny they are getting, from the sale of their products. However, us the consumer needs to shake our heads and say enough!

In closing I'd like to add,...

For Sale:
1 2003 PCIIIR with, active serial/usb cable.
Disc, Manual and 9 volt adapter.
$100.00 + Postage.

depends on the pipe, if the bike runs bad. needs tuning but not always a pc needed

[Mr Bogus]

Nuts on dude! I've found the Teka Box does everything you need for adjusting the A/F ratio for minor upgrades such as full exhaust etc. Free of charge with most dyno tuners.

Lots of controversy on this topic... All I can add is I have a PC3 and have had 2 different maps on it which have been noticeably different, and at this point would say I definitely want to keep it... Who's right ?? Who knows... I like what mine has done for my bike, but to each his own.....

Alot of guys around here use a Yosh Box to tune their Busa's, but everytime I use to ask them to do it they would tell me my bike will run like s$!t, and I need a PCIII USB, and they would even tune it for me for $400.00, man they're nice !!

GPW hooked me up now, and I love it !!
