Triumphrat

Well I've posted two questions and haven't had any replies. I'll try one more time. Does anyone have any opinions on the Dynojet Power Commander? I'd like to know what to expect out of it with a K&N and a performance silencer. Thanks.

I wish that I had more to offer, but I really don't know anyone who's installed one...actually, I don't know of anyone who's installed any power commander in a Triumph. I can say this, however, my brother has a Suzuki GSXR with one, and he swears by it. I refuse to drive his bike so I have to take his word on it. He says that it gave him more power and improved efficiency...whatever that means. I know that he can hook it up to a computer and tweak it so that it suits his individual needs, though.

In order to do it right, a shop needs to tune it. Not just any shop can, but one that is willing to spend the time to make the map properly. On one of my bikes, I could get a PCIII and download a map that is already available because the tuner set it up properly throughout the entire rev range. He spent many hours on it for his customers that buy the exhaust system and PCIII from him.

It is just not a plug and play thing. It can be a do it yourself thing, but you need to check the plugs and see where it runs rich and lean. A shop uses a dyno and looks at power as well.

I don't know anyone who has installed a PC. I do know a number of 955 owners that have purchased TuneBoy and TuneEdit and the cable that goes with them (including myself). The Power Commander is an add-on that goes between the stock EFI controller and the engine. TuneEdit actually lets you program the stock EFI/ECU directly (no middle-man). The makers of the program also sent me an updated map that worked great. The best method is to buy the software and cable and take them to someone with a Dyno to get it just right, particularly if you have any aftermarket parts (intake or exhaust).
