That's the beauty of it. Nothing is permanently connected to your bike so you can set it up yourself. It’s just a USB cable that connects your computer to the ECU cable under the seat. Once you “flash” the ECU, you’d have access to tuning, diagnostics and a host of other options. When finished, you just unplug the cable and your bike is back to normal.

Shit that sounds far too easy lol You would surely have to be more on to it that me to do the tuning though aye haha
Have you put one on your triple and if so how do ya find it ?

Yeah I got one from the States as a package deal when I purchased my exhaust. It's possibly a little overkill as I'll never use all its functions, but it's a blast. Tunes are readily available as downloads, so you don’t really have to fiddle. Once the bike is connected to a PC, it takes about 30-60 seconds to re-tune.
The downside to the TuneBoy is the key to unlock the ECU will only work on that particular ECU, so if you buy another bike, you will need to purchase another key.

Wealth of knowledge there Sarge !! It's been driving me mad twideling with my throttle cable adjustment trying to eliminate that hesitation after throttling off !
Have a bad habit of being one who goes from full on to full off a little too much !

Ditto, I have the same problem and wondered what the hell was wrong, thought it was the throttle cable adjustment too
Thanks Sarge

Hi sinfull. Just a thought, but if you're "thinking" about a Power Commander for your triple, you may want to look at a TuneBoy instead. If the fella Dogs was talking about is Kerry Wallis, then he's the NZ dealer for TuneBoy. It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but it does a hell of a lot more than the PCIII. http://www.tuneboy.com.au/
Just out of curiosity, what model S3 do you have?

Hey ya Ferris , cheers for that ! Just went and had a read up on the tune boy and it sounds like the shit !!
Think that is the guy Dogs mentioned ! Would be keen to chat to anyone who has had kerry whack one in a 955i mines an 03 US import

Hey guys, if you're thinking of getting Kerry to work on your bikes I can't recommend him enough. We'll be getting Sarah's new Daytona up there as soon as we can get time. Check out this thread

Hi Al! I have been in contact with Kerry via e-mail and will most certainly be taking my bike there for its 20,000km service.
Oh by the way, Kerry was closing down for upgrades to his workshop for 5-6 weeks from 31st March.

[chanceyy]

ouch thats gonna be a bugger ... but when you need to upgrade no time is going to be a good time

The VFR is off for its new wof & reg tomorrow, fingers crossed

discs are done, new brake seals, discs replaced (ahem), fork seals done, rear rim repaired and new tyre fitted, everything back together and looking sharp.....

thanks Meanie for the workshop and the help, and Monie for the bourbons, cowboyz for lowering himself to working on a Honda (even tho he secretly enjoys it when he gets to bash it with a big hammer) and Sarge and Nobras for turning up and pitching in too....and mrs yod for putting up with it taking up space and doing nothing for so long

*sniff* i'd also like to thank the academy......

[ynot slow]

[QUOTE=yod;1500919]....and mrs yod for putting up with it taking up space and doing nothing for so long

No worries, not saying it's the same deal but I know that's what's happening with my bike anyway, if you are suffering a similar problem I would'nt be too surprised to find out it's a similar thing.
