You might want to go to T595net and check out the TuneBoy. I believe it to be a much better product. The PCIII tricks your puter but the TuneBoy reprograms it. The PC can be the weak link in the chain where with the T/B isn't a link at all. Just a programing change. You can also download PC maps and install them via the T/B.

I don't have a TuneBoy or the TuneEdit program, but reports on the TT600 forum are almost universally positive. It costs about the same as a PC, and there are "canned" tunes you can download from Wayne's websit or the T595 website for different applications. If I understand it correctly, the TuneBoy reads all of the diagnostic codes that your ECU stores as well as giving you the capability of adjusting ignition as well as fuel maps. The PC only gives you the option of adjusting the fuel maps unless they upgraded its capabilities.

I don't have enough knowledge to use the TuneBoy without killing my bike, but if you do, then it sure seems like the way to go. Once you get all the cables and codes, it costs about the same as a Power Commander, but it does more. I think you can also store your initial codes, so if you really screw it up, you can start over. You probably better check on that one before you believe me, though.

Does Triumph sell the programming unit to us normal folks? If so, how much is it? I know where there is a used one and I'd like to have some idea of the value before I go bargaining. I don't plan to ever work on bikes for a so called living ever again, I just like to do all the work on my own bikes. ****, sometimes I really love carbs.

I installed a power commander on my 2002 speed triple and all it did for me was foul plugs. Two sets of plugs later I took it off and tossed it on a shelf. I've never been happy with Dyno-jet products and the power commander reconfirms my feelings for Dyno-jet products.... JUNK
