PCV, Cheap? Anygood?

Hi all, i have found this on ebay and wondered if it was cheap or not?, or does anyone know where i could get a cheap PCV for my 660 tenere?
Basically i dont want to get new cans for my bike but would like an improvement in performance, i think the best way to go is to get the stage 3 filter setup plus a PCV, anyone agree or Disagree?

Thanks for any input!

you may find once you have paid for it, and paid the import duty it will be more than from a UK suplier

We have a deal with Powertech UK, they give our members the best deals around on PCV, and you won't find it cheaper.

Call Simon Cope on... 01253 891087

With regards to the tuning, you need to think of the bigger picture. With an air filter change and wanting to push more fuel in through the use of a PC, then you want to be able to push those gasses out more, so you might want to consider changing your silencer as well.
Thing is, all the costs mount up and you don't get a huge amount more power.

It depends on the money you spend, you can get gains from 10 to 50%.

The thing that most riders get wrong is a Power commander is not a performance tool it is a tunning tool to allow you to the get the most HP & Torque out of your mods. The other bolt on mods is what gives you the gains.

The Exhaust system only really offers around a 2.5HP gain, the intake filter system can offer a 5 to 6HP gain by them selves. So you can see the XT660 motor is quite restricted on the intake side, start combining mods & the HP & torque will start to climb. A 50HP or 60HP XT660 is a very different bike compared to a standard XT.

I concur. A different animal indeed. IMHO I consider the PC V when combined with a PC O2 wideband autotune mod is the best insurance for your engine as the other performance mods are installed. Never pay for a tune up again no matter what mods you have now or in the future. Always in perfect tune.I read posts that mention flat spots and poor performance and wonder how long these motors will last in a poor state of tune. Every mod i have purchased came with a warning of running lean unless tuned to suit. More Power = more smiles. Ride on.
