Power Commander questions

Hey folks,

I have Kev Mod , DNA Stage 1 & 2, and Kev's O2 mod fitted.

I really love my bike, have done 3,800 miles in the last two months, but I just feel like it needs a little something more.

Not too much, i realise it's only a 50bhp bike. And I'm not quite ready to move up to a bigger bike yet...


So, here's the question:

I thought about the Power Commander, which I'm probably going to buy next week and have fitted by my local shop.
They have a dyno run so I can get it mapped properly.

The question is regarding the KevMods. Do I need to remove them before the Power Commander is fitted, or can they live along side it?

I imagine, you'd just set the KevMod to 12 o clock (OFF) forever now, since the PC does what the KevMod used to?

Or should I remove it and re-solder the cable from the airbox sensor?


Also, I'm not a boy racer but is there a further advantage to be gained from going Stage 3 airbox cover, or is this not really a noticeable thing?


Any input would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers.

Steve.

If you want the goods then add a stage 3 filter + PCV with Dyno jets O2 optimizer + a custom Dyno tunned map for your bike, this combination will give you the best performance everywhere.

I would remove the Fuel mod & join the wires back to standard as the PCv will over ride the fuel mod.

Hi new to the forum here... i just want to ask one thing cause it makes me think twice before buying a PCV. do i have to go 100% for a dyno when i have it or its ok if i have a map build for akra,stage 1-2 filter found here in the maps section. people telling me from the moment i purchace the program i need to go for dyno because every bike is special..... i dont get the logic there.........??
Also using the Kev O2 Module with the pc will work fine or must be set both the Dynojet?

Loading a map someone else has built will work just fine, you will definitely see improvements (as long as the modifications are the same or similar).

Using a dyno to built a custom map for your bike is not entirely necessary, but it is the best way to get a map that exactly matches your bike and your mods. You will get the best out of your PCV by putting in some dyno time.

Kev's O2 controller will work with a PCV. However, if you buy a new PCV, they all now come packaged with Dynojet's O2 Optimiser anyway. Their O2 Optimiser is not available to buy as a separate part, so if you get a second hand PCV (without an O2 Optimiser), you'll probably find it easiest to get hold of Kev's O2 Controller.
