Power Commander

[Pit Bull 13]

I have a 08 Busa no performance mods yet. even stock exhaust.. i was wondering if a power commander would be a good first investment.. so when i get new exhaust this summer I can tweak it.. and any other mods.. I know a lot of people swear by it. anyones experience would be great. Thanks for your input...

Exhaust first, then have your ecu flashed, no need for a power commander, ecu flashing removes all restrictions and sets the air fuel mixture for YOUR bike plus a whole lot more! contact SmithBusa for a list of flashers in your area, thats what I did! And by the way

yea, Power Commander is not needed unless you get a couple mods on.

ok so Ill still buy it and sit on it till i get my full exhaust and im looking into a air filter kit. still not sure on that but once i do im putting tham all on at the same time. I just didn't wanna buy a full Exhaust and air kit and be waiting for a power commander..

my last bike a guy punched the motor out and it ran like crap till i put a better intake, jet kit and racing ignition system.. so I was down a few weeks. im trying to prevent that from happining again..

so re-cap dont install commander until i get atleast full exhaust ?

what does it mean to have the ecu flashed?
Also, what about a power commander if I have slip ons?

So now I just bought a air filter. BMC. and a Power Commander.. still looking for that right exhaust. I'm thinking CS One.

Power commanders are good, but ecu flashing is def the new way to go.

Pit Bull...that would be a nice set-up the new Vance & Hines system is getting some nice reviews and has a great sound to it.

My only recommendation would be to take your bike and have it custom Dyno tuned (don't worry about getting caught up in the numbers) w/ those mods. Easily the best way to take full advantage of them and have your bike run a whole lot smoother. It's worth the extra coin to get it done

Andy, ecu flashing is programming the onboard computer, does everything a pc does and a whole lot more, no need for a powercommander, flashing removes all restrictions including the 186mph limiter and sets the air /fuel ratios throught the rpm range. read the pinned thread about ecu flashing on the gen2 message board..

dosn't the power commander get rid of the 186 top speed? and all the other things?

to the .org! I would get the power commander, but hold off putting it on until you get the full exhaust or do some other mods to the bike.
