POWER COMMANDER FOR 1250

Hi there, has anyone fitted a Power Commander or similar to a 1250......they reckon 20 to 30 horsepower increase, smoother throttle response and more torque.....any luck with such "magic boxes" ????

I had a PCV installed recently, with custom mapping. Huge difference in the power delivery, but I had specified that I wasn't interested in pushing the horsepower - it was more important for me to keep some kind of economy since the bike is primarily a commuter. As it was it picked up an extra horse, giving it 110.25 @ 9000rpm, & 83.15 ft-lbs @ 6000rpm.

The power delivery is far smoother & throttle response has tightened up nicely. How much of this is the custom mapping I'm not sure.

I can supply a Power Commander to you cheaper. Unable to assist with mapping, unless you wanna add the "Auto-tune" option.

there are maps on the PC website for slip on Yoshi's, but not sure what sort of results you'll get as didn't use it.

I've decided on a TFI box, oxy bypass, pair plug, k&N filter and Yoshi can. Nobody I know that uses this setup has a bad word to say about it. I got everything but the pipe from holeshot.

Not installed yet and have only had the bike for 2 mins, but from all reports it makes a big difference.

I have a gipro atre as well but that is mainly for the gear indicator. It was on my m90 and it did make a noticeable difference on it. But not sure if it will be as noticeable on the Bandit.

I will do a bit of a review when it stops raining.

Hey Dink, give us a call about the power commander, Ian 0408424999...

G'day all. I thought I would put this post here as it seemed relevant without starting another thread. I installed the PCV with the only mods being a full Arrow system and a K&N filter. Dyno tuned the bike made 109hp and 88ft lbs. Since then I have installed the Auto tune, using the dyno run map as a base tune as recommended by Dynojet, removed the secondary butterfly valves and removed the snorkel in the air box. I thought I would hook up the lappy after I gave her the 24000k service to discover the O2 sensor has failed. This gives the PCV a reading of 9.99:1 A/F ratio, a bit rich , Because I had the enrichment/lean percentages set to 10% it only wanted to reduce the fuel by that amount so its not possible to get a lean out. On that note the part number needed, after a bit of research because the numbers are burned off, is 0 258 007 206 for the 5 wire wideband O2 sensor. I do recommend the set up, however it would be nice if the sensor lasted more than 20000k's. Also after research the sensor is prone to failure due to moisture, so a 2 minute start up and run time may induce moisture into the exhaust system. Good luck and I hope some of this info can help someone.
