Thinking about fitting a Power Commander to the bike as I’m adding a Yoshi slip-on to my 09 model Blade. I've done a quick forum search but haven't found a full answer to my question.
From the PC site I checked and for an 08 model they recommend a PCIII part number 132-411
Power Commander Downloads and Product Purchases, Maps, Installation Guides, Accessories
Then again from the PC site I checked and for an 09 model they recommend a PCV part number 16-002
Power Commander V Support, Find Installation Guides and Maps
Various maps for both models with a range of aftermarket exhausts are available as downloads, however for a PCIII and PCV they are different maps.
Are 08 models and 09 models so different that they require two different power commanders, I thought they were identical bikes?
I’ve fitted a PCIII previously to my RR5, 4 sets of connectors in line with the lower injectors, a connector in line with the throttle position sensor and an earth wire, job done. The fitting instructions (Avail on-line) for the 08 model and PCIII are still exactly the same.
However the fitting instructions for a PCV involve inline connectors for lower injectors 1 & 4 only and an in-line connector for a “sub connector” on the lower throttle bodies (This may be a sub connector for injectors 2 & 3 perhaps?) There is an earth wire to be fitted but no throttle position sensor.
Just to confirm I’m only fitting a slip-on, none of the other features such as quick shifters or auto tune facilities are required (Unless you know different!) That in mind has anyone fitted a PCV to an 09 model, is this definitely the version I need (Part number 16-002) And just to confirm I’m reading the instructions properly it's in-line connectors for lower injectors 1 & 4 only, an in-line connector for lower throttle bodies sub connector and an earth wire. No throttle position sensor or other connectors required?
Thanks ... John
