Can I use a Power Commander on a different bike?
No. The connectors are different for each injection system on each bike. In theory you can snip the old connectors off and wire up new ones. Not sure it would work on the two bikes you describe as the R6 has 4/8 injectors (so four plugs), whereas the MT-03 only has 1 injector (So one plug).
Does a Power Commander increase horsepower on a motorcycle?
Is a Power Commander Worth It? Installing a Power Commander won’t improve the bike’s horsepower or torque on its own. To get the best from a Power Commander you have to tune it to suit your motorcycle. This involves modifying the map or uploading a new map.
Do power commanders make a difference?
Generally, the benefits of a power commander will work best with a full system exhaust (not a slip-on), as it creates more power and allows for a wider range of adjustments. If you’re more performance oriented, then a power commander may be worth the investment to get a smoother, more powerful ride.
What does a Power Commander do for a motorcycle?
What is a Power Commander? The Power Commander is a fuel injection and, on some models, an ignition timing adjustment unit that plugs ‘inline’ with the bike’s stock ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Changes are made to the bike’s fuel and ignition curves via the Power Commander’s onboard microprocessor.
Is a Power Commander worth the money?
If you’re more performance oriented, then a power commander may be worth the investment to get a smoother, more powerful ride. If you’re pairing with a high end full system, like an Akrapovic Exhaust, you’ll see much better overall performance when paired with a PCV.
Can you put a Power Commander on a carbureted bike?
They accomplish the same thing which is to achieve an ideal air fuel ratio when something is changed on the bike (exhaust, pod filters, etc.). If you have a carbureted bike then the power commander is not even an option, if you have a fuel injected bike the jet kit is not an option.
Can you tune a bike without a Power Commander?
The quick and easy answer to the question is “no.” You don’t “need” to do anything with your bike. In the case of adding a Power Commander with a full aftermarket exhaust, it is possible to get by without one. For many riders, an exhaust change with no Power Commander can lead to a loss of usable power.
