R77 Slip-ons and PC3: Any Point?

[RatherBusa]

So, I went with the Yoshimura R77 slip-ons a while back and am still quite happy with that decision over the full exhaust setup.

That said, any point in adding a PC3 to the mix? Figured it would smooth out the power overall.

I didn't see a map for the non-European slip-ons on the site, though.

it will definately "smoothen out" your bike, jsut with a downloaded map (or the slightly upgraded map it comes with) then u can get tuned for a little more hp.

What do you mean by smoothen out? The power feels pretty smooth to begin with... trying to justify $300+

Pretty easy to install?

Oh yeah, like I was saying, couldn't find a map specific for my bike/exhaust. You're saying it'll still be better with any map?

I would say with slip-ons, there is no need to buy a PC. A lot of the older FI bikes didn't have the great set up that the k8 does. Unless, you can have the PC tuned, you will more than likely degrade the performance with a downloaded map just for slip-ons.
The stock k8 has a very smooth response. And I can't see trying to justify a PC with over the counter maps for a maybe performance increase. unless you buy a Brocks system with PC and they provide a hot map for the K8.

I would not waste the money The K8 does not need it.

I see. Thanks for the replies. I was sorta under the same impression, from what I have read.

I think I was just in the mood to do something to the bike.

I did purchase a TRE from Pashnit:

HealTech Electronics Ltd. - Makers of the SpeedoHealer, GIpro/ATRE and X-TRE

I think it'll be worth the $130 - and I can say my bike goes 200+

It is arguable whether a full system will benefit much from a PCIII and IMO slip-on are more for looks and sound than all out performance so I'd say skip the PC.

Ditto. Save your money for Moose hunting with Palin

IMO you are wasting your money on a PC3.

There was a guy that dynoed his 08 20 min before me, he had Yosh TRC slipons, filter, PCIII... untuned it made 164, tuned to 168. Mine made 167 with just the R77 slipons... don't waste your money on a PCIII unless your doing a full system with filter or more.

I understand slip on exhausts will lean out the air/fuel.. The pcIII will help adjust that..

 

[Alsterbator]

I understand that the stock ECU is more than capable of compensating for the minimal change.

Thats what they say.
