Power Commander

[Sgt Bilco]

I bought a second hand PC3 a couple of months ago and just haven't got round to fitting it for one reason or another. Amyway, done so much work on the bike I thought I'd better finish the job so on the reccomendation of Stick of this parish I took the bike to a little company in Cradley Heath called Projex www.projex-uk.co.uk.

Kev asked me what I wanted and I want a lot of low to mid range power because of the tours I do and have no real need for a lot of revs. He set the bike up beautifully on the Dyno and now the from 3000rpm through to 6500rpm the drive is super smooth and powerful. The bike is totally transformed and will pull in any gear from any revs with no hesitation whatsoever. One really good thing is a 10% better fuel consumption so I'm really chuffed

One interesting thing is the power drops of at 6500rpm because the end can is stiffling the power. You either run without a baffle or use the standard purpose built can for best performance. Still, mine was making 85bhp at 6500 rpm which is nigh on the same as much newer and lower mileage bikes and would no doubt make the magic 100 bhp with the right can

I've always thought a power commander was sports bike bling but I'm now an absolute convert and the bike is nigh on perfect.

Just for info, the bike is a 56 plate GSA with 70,000 miles, Keihan headers, Beowulf end can and K&N air filter.

So have you told your insurance company......?

Seriously, I've got a brand new PCIII USB sitting here in the box that I never got round to fitting to my '07 and '09 GSes and the hassle with insurance companies was part of the reason, in spite of the fact that it would have sorted the fuelling on the '07 with its full Remus system.

Glad to hear that you've finally sorted out the fuelling with those Keihan headers of yours.....

i put a remus full system on my gsa 08 plus k&n, the bike was an absolute pain to ride being lumpy and popping back, i bought a pc3 and downloaded a map from there web site from someone who had the same setup as me and its a different bike, so smooth with no flatspots, its best money ive ever spent on the bike, would you have a custom map done like yourself? or two maps, one with baffle and one without?

Better still take your bike to Hilltop racing and get the std ecu remapped !!!

I'd get a custom map done to get it the way you want it I can certainly recommend Kev at projex as he will set it the way you want

Eerrrr, no I haven't told them but the bike is being sorned on Thursday as it will be of the the States for a 4 month holiday

The fuelling was always pretty good but now it's cock on
