Power Commander V ?'s

[HondaJon_imp]

Looking for some input regarding the Power Commander V. I am sure the CB is programmed to run lean from the factory to meet emissions standards and feel that "richening it up" a bit will make a noticeable difference when riding . I have never used or installed on of these devices and was curious on a few things;

Is the stock exhaust and intake map already loaded on the unit?

Did you notice a difference in performance?

I have a Staintune slip on but didn't see any maps for the CB 1100 on the Dynojet website, did you take your bike to a dyno to have the map done (if you have a slip on or full system) or are you running the stock map?

Are you using the "Autotune" module?

(I don't plan on doing any other mods except maybe a K&N filer if they ever make one so I don't really need all of that adjustability.)

It comes loaded for stock set up which will be slightly richer. Never used auto tune. Always get tuned on dyno & yes you will notice a difference doing so. With your slipon if you do not modify breather box a PCV is not required but would allow to run a richer set up for better performance. With breather mod it would be required & would allow more air in for better performance.

Found a dynojet tuning shop super close to my house so I
just ordered a Power Commander V from MotoMummy in Texas;

https://www.motomummy.com/index.php?p=home
#16-040 $269.99 and free shipping

And a K&N filter from Amazon.com
HA-1301 $44.95 and free shipping


Once I get the parts and she is dialed in, I will post the map. It will be for a CB with a Staintune slip on and K&N air filter.

Dart windscreen on the way as well

They need test bikes.....
You should check with Power Commander, most likely they would give you one to get a map for their website.
I'm running it with whatever it comes with now, still waiting for an updated map.

I've read too much about k&n air filters letting too much dirt pass through. I don't trust them and use stock for everything. Some guys like em, just not for me.

This is my first FI motorcycle, and I am totally ignorant as to what you guys are talking about.
I have a couple of questions......1. The only performance mod I've done is to install a Yosh canister. It definitely sounds MUCH better, but haven't noticed even a minor increase in performance. So I'm assuming that to get the most out of this mod, I need a Power Commander, right? And to get it "dialed in" with said Power Commander I need to have it run on a dyno, correct?
2. Eventually I want to replace the complete exhaust system. So that means I would have to go through all the above steps again? Good Grief! I don't even think there is a motorcycle dyno in this area, with the exception being the Harley dealer. Yea, that would be comforting.

It runs lean from factory to meet EPA standards. When you added the can it just made it a little leaner. A tuner such as PCV will be needed to change fuel map. Hondajon said he would post his map when his is dyno'd with his slipon. Should be a very close map to what you need. More maps will become available as time passes. If H-D dealer will do dyno, which can't imagine why they wouldn't, I'd take it there if need be.

Deanohh, Have you taken a close look at the airbox setup and filter for our bikes, I'm suprised she even gets any air, much less any dirt

Yeah I know..... thought about de-snorkeling but don't see the point without being able to get a custom map. Now have staintune and pcv with the stock map. Probably not optimal but runs ok and also is smooth now at slow steady speed like going through a parking lot or slow traffic or the 2-3 blocks of slow streets getting to my house.... 15-20 mph in 1st or 2nd gear......when totally stock would stutter and run rough at steady throttle slow speed.

Yea you don't want to do that without tune. On the other hand do it just prior to getting it dyno'd.
