Tripletom did some research to find a programable ECU, and I think (form failing memory) it was something like �2500. The stock Yamaha one isn't programable easily, although anything with software is vulnerable to being cracked, the costs would be silly and this could easily raise a bug in another area.
For the <�300 for a PowerCommander, combined with the DNS upgrades it offers very good value for money. You could spend �500 on cans with less improvement.
There is the Kev-Fuel-Mod that has some good feedback and very cheap. Basically this fools the bike into thinking it's colder than it is and adding a bit more fuel (with the DNS filters it runs too lean).
I have the DNS Stage 2 and PC-V with the map supplied by Simon - it works very well indeed and I'm very happy with the return on my investment (and if I ever get a newer Z, I can move it to the new bike!)

Thank you all for the kind and informative replies. If we only spoke the same language it would be great! lol. By that I mean the jargon of mechanics.
It appears the more I ask the more I know I don't know and the LESS I understand.
May I mention I have not owned, nor even ridden, a bike in around 35 years. In that time the advancements in technology has left me way behind, to that end you guys are speaking another language to me. Lol
What is a "Scottoiler"?
What is a Kev-fuel-mod?
Now I am worried that I have bought the stage 1, 2 and 3 DNA and without this 'power commander' the bike will not function properly? I thought all I had to do was change the old filters for the new ones, that I could manage, now I understand the bike will run too 'lean' and that is not good for the engine, plus a waste of money on the DNA set up. It is a shame I didn't realise I had to spend even more money for the DNA convertion to be of value. Now, this makes me ask if I am able to find a 'power commander' what else will be needed. See my point this could become an ever ending circle of expenditure with no return or worse a damaged bike?
I must repeat, what I know about bike mechanics can be writen on the back of a postage stamp so you guys need to 'spell' things out in an ABC manner that I can understand.
So, to re-cap. I have on order, should arrive today, the DNA stage 1 to 3.
Do I NEED a power commmander? If I just fit the DNA set up will this damage the bike?
What is a "Scottoiler", do I need one and if I do where would I get one? Same question for the "Kev-fuel-mod"
In short HEEEEEEEEEELP.
I am aware I am a pain in the rear but do please try and understand I just don't yet speak the new langauage, it will take time to fit in again. I am trying! lol
One thing for sure, you guys and galls are just a great buch of members and I am looking forward to meeting you in the near future. Thank you all.
Kindest regards,
