Has anyone tried the single cam advance sprockets with a remap? I'd expect a bit of top end loss but what about fuel consumption and real world useful performance?
You can buy a new PC V with the relevant map for £270 including postage. I guess it fits the same way as the Wunderlich power controller I used to have - so a 20 minute job but you will have extra wires on show.
Lower mpg makes sense as I'm sure the PC injects more fuel. Is a TC with the PC smoother than a TC without ? - and can you feel the extra power ?

Hopefully 'on topic' if a little tangential.... is a remap permanent?, or does a friendly BMW service agent over-write it again next time it gets plugged into a service device? How do you protect against that? (you can tell I'm not an electronical expert
......)

I can't do Apr 19-28, May 10-12 or May 20-26. Any other weekends are fine.
I have the PC111 on my 56 plate ADV and had it set up to my requirements on a dyno. Brilliant results, with oodles more torque and very smooth pick up from low revs. MPG also improved by around 10% which is a real bonus. As already mentioned, the PC111 has value at a later date if needed.
The PC111 is hidden away nicely and it's worth every penny. A session on a dyno will be around £100 and you can get it set up the way you want it.

A power commander with generic PC map will never be as good as a PC with bespoke map done on a dyno. Costs are likely to be much the same either way.
A PC can be removed and moved to a new bike - original bike remains standard. But will you want an old PC on a new bike? It might have a used value but might just get shoved in the shed.

I can do 7, 8, 9 May. Ideally I would like to do the remap before the Borders Bash. I know it is not a weekend but it is in between shifts for me.
Freddie please read the original thread on Hilltop remap. Geoff posted on there exactly how it is done and how the software works. You will also see the graphs of the remapped bikes.

Looks like we will get it done this weekend subject to Geoff having an opening. Pukmeister is getting in touch with KarlP because they are the two who asked me to join them for a discount. We will report back.
Apologies to all involved, our old Combi boiler finally gave up this morning and is beyond economic repair so I've gotta fund a replacement pronto as we have no hot water or heating hence no remapping for me now. Thankfully the shower is electric.
I need 3 tossers who would like to remap their bikes to get the discount. Best date for me is 27 April which is a Saturday and Geoff has the day open. Anybody who is interested please PM me. Cost is £330 with discount otherwise £360.
Power Commander 3 USB now sold.

Tuning for max power or buying on numbers is all very good, but in the real world is smooth and punchy mid range with good fuel consumption is way more useful. I means in UK (even when treating speed limits as optional), how often can we ever use full power?
Oh yes on a track. Booger, I bought the wrong bike.
A remap or PC needs to boost the drivability of the bike. Any top end gain is a nice to have side effect.

I'm guessing not many owners hold their GS's at full throttle for long, but some do, and live in places were it is both legal and possible to do so.

You get loads of GS's at HRT track days - http://www.hoppridertraining.co.uk/
Nothing better than seeing a GSA with metal panniers lift off at the Mountain
I was told my 08 sounded like a Heinkel on heat down the start/finish straight. Remus headers and akra can

Can't argue with that and I've seen the 1150 GS on YouTube blowing sports bikes into the weeds. Great to see but it's not real world stuff. A map for road (mid range & mpg) with another map for top end power would be talking.
The average biker can't afford to buy a GS for touring, a R1 for track and a CRF for play. So they have to buy a bike they will use most - the GS seems just about the ticket. Although I wouldn't fancy trying one out on the tracks I used to play enduros on.
Likewise, I wouldn't really like to try one out on a fast track day, not that it wouldn't be fun on almost any bike, and I am sure going past slower sports bike riders on a GS is a lot of fun (I get to do that on the road most weekends) - but I'd prefer a well set up GSXR750 for a track day.

Many sports bikes are so badly ridden on the road, its no surprise so many crash. I was on a Yamaha Diversion 600 complete with full luggage and seriously held up by some muppet on a Triumph 675. He was tottering around every corner and pinning it on a straight quicker than I could do. But overall he was slooow.
I hung back & was able to see around a long LH bend. The road was clear so used the space to accelerate & took him on the outside using about 3/4 of (ok - all of) the Divvie's 60bhp. I wasnt speeding but never saw him again.
On the GS I dont have any such problems. It's punchy, handles (very) well and I can see over many hedges to get a safe overtake other cant see.
Bike magazine ran an R1200RT against an RGV 250 Suzuki around a track, reasoning that both had the same power to weight. The RT was actually faster around the track than the RGV.
