The best answers in Auckland will come from the guys upstairs at AMPS.
www.amps.co.nz
They are the Authorised dynojet tuning centre for the town and are very close to the importers PCW.
www.performancecycle.co.nz
where ther are links to the Dynojet site.

Power Commanders interface with your injection electronics and allow the mixture (fuel mapping) to be optimised for your set-up. They can achieve more outright power, but the main advantage is in evening out the torque curve. Getting rid of the dips and bumps caused by emmision and noise requirements and/or aftermarket cans and high flow air filters.
Retail is $580.98 for your TLR. (I could sweeten that a bit)
Allow extra dosh for dyno time too, about $300.00.
An initial dyno base run will show if there'll be an advantage in fitting one.

Does that mean if it doesn't show improvement we can chose not to purchase it?

That's it.
Unless you're whacking on a full aftermarket zorst system, and a different type of air filter, and that sort of thing, the only real advantage is getting rid of built-in lean spots and dips and hollows. And stuff.

I had one on the VifFerraRi for a while, and it was really good, once I had the right map and tweaked it a bit. The guy I borrowed it from bought it from K&N for US$30. New.

Depends why you want it...... If it is to suit something like aftermarket mufflers,it can be a lot easier to simply get the ECU bumped with a Yosh box..+5-+5-+0 works ok...........The PCII is ok but most times you are downloading a map off the web when the best results would be a custom map set up on a dyno.You can get a brand new TL1000R PCII out of the U.S for around NZ$250 + postage.The PCIII for the TL is supposed to be out very soon.

Also consider: http://www.factorypro.com/TEKA_SFI/T...ction,ECU.html Pricy, but quite cool because it doesn't use a PC, you can adjust while running and doesn't need to stay connected.

Now you're just being silly. There's a 'leaving the workshop charge'. Enforced by "Moose".

Would you expect better or worse fuel economy after fitting and setting one up?

In theory it should be better. But who's not going to use the extra grunt?

Ohhhh come on Lou, no "Try before you buy"? maybe you should have a demo PC available?

[Big Dave]

phhht - lightweights.

I can refer you to a well satisfied user with, co-incidentally, the very same bike as you.
He's got a fishy name like flipper or some such.
No that's right - Finn.
I'm sure he'd be happy to let you thrash his bike to within an inch of it's life.
Right Finn?

Been there done that, thrashed the bike (before you smart arses say anything)

PC makes it soooooo smooooooth!.

Lou, do you sell those Ivans TRE eliminators things........they just plug in and improve 1/2 throttle response without affecting idle etc....cheap too for what they do...
