Speedy recovery
Pc 3 usb
Well, I found yet another great deal here. I got a Power Commander III USB from Fresca. It's in perfect shape and came with everything it should.
Install was a breeze, about 30 minutes start to finish.
I loaded the map for the stock bike since that's what I have.
Impressions:
Around town power was much smoother. Better throttle response and a smoother build-up of power. I can feel a change in the power curve in the lower RPMs and under 20-60% throttle. It definitely made the bike more friendly around town.
Highway cruising provides a slightly better throttle response as well. One nice thing I noticed was a bit more grunt in 6th gear at about 75 mph. A very welcome change.
Full throttle did not feel much different. I don't think the PC added much power up top. Maybe a little, or maybe it's just me justifying my expense.
In the twisties I definitely felt a change. I keep the bike between 7-10K on the curves and there is a discernible change there. The on/off throttle in 3rd is smoother, although second still suffers from the driveline lash. I was carrying more speed into the turns and getting more coming out. It also feels like there is more modulation there. Can't really explain what I mean, but when I'm in the turn I can more easily adjust throttle and shift weight F/R.
Overall very happy with it. Some people say they don't feel any difference, but I certainly do. The best way to describe it is "smoother" than stock. No "wow" power increase, but rideability is better.
Biggest problem with it is that now I have to get some cans.....
Conditions:
75*
10% humidity
5,000 - 7,000 ft elevation
Let me know if I can answer any questions.
