power commander

[PDBusa]

Have done numerous searches and haven't found enough info to satisfy me. Have Yoshi RS-3 pipes on 05 and was told yesterday by dealer that I am losing HP by not having a PC. Is this true or just a sales pitch? I have no problems with backfiring and bike purrs nicely but if I am losing HP

Any input?

BS, you dont need the PC unless you go full system.

I think that is a sales pitch. Slip-ons are mainly added for cosmatic looks, not for power gains. Also, I was told by Yosh that slip-ons and canisters do not require a power commander and that actually you may gain a hp or two.

NO POWER COMMANDER for slip ons.

I just recently installed some TRS yosh's and love them. Great sound and looks, this is what I was going for. Out of courosity I called Dynojet to ask them personally what I could expect by getting a powercommander for a basically unmodified bike, except for slip ons and a BMC filter.

I was told (by dynojet) that you wouldnt see much if any top end gain, (maybe 1-2 hp) if that, but the main difference that you would see is smoother power delivery and some power gains in the mid range. I havent purchased one, and Im still debating. If I come across a good deal I may, but as of yet Im still in amazment of the power that these beasts have stock!!
