I'm second owner of this 2017 CB1100EX with only 1200 miles. The previous owner gave me a box of parts when I purchased the bike. One of the items in the box is a new Dynojet Power Commander V model 16-071. The previous owner bought it but never had the time to install. I don't plan on changing the exhaust ever. (1) Should I install this box or leave it alone. (2) If I install it how hard is it to tune the bike to find the sweet spot (3) where can I learn how to install on the bike properly. Have any of you guys with this Dynojet V posted a youtube video? Where I live there isn't any annual emission testing required. Thanks for your input.

Easy install i did it on mine. I believe the dynojet website has bike specific installation instructions/videos. Should be easy enough to find on YouTube also. I believe all I had to do was remove the tray above the battery and lift the fuel tank up to be able to plug the 2 wires where they had to go. 1 was power to battery and 1 was to the ECU under the tank if I remember correctly. Came with the needed plugs/harness no splicing or anything needed.
Tuning is easy as far as there are I think 3 different fuel maps available on dynojets website.
You download the file, plug the unit into your computer and upload the new fuel map/file to it through the free power commander software on your computer.
Plenty of YouTube videos on how to do the file transfer to make it easy to understand if you're not overly tech savvy.
One of the fuel maps on the website is made for stock bike with stock exhaust and air intake so I'm assuming that's the map you would use for now.
You can go to a shop/dealer that has a dyno and have it custom tuned to your bike/modifications whenever you're ready to do that also.

Agreed- not hard to install and yea- stock setup map is avail to download.
It will make the bike run better- smoother throttle transitions- and yes, more power.
If you would rather have money- I'd say it's worth $300 to someone all day long now as they don't make the V any longer.

I did find a youtube video for a 2013. Looks amazingly easy. Now just to find the right map and figure out how to download.

Ok. I've followed your instructions - plugged in the box and downloaded the standard map from the website into the box. Is that it or should I put it in autotune and ride around? Another stupid question - our engines have some goofy way of injecting raw air into the exhaust to minimize pollution right? Think I read about this. If so how can the oxygen sensor make real adjustments if excess air always present or do we not have O2 sensors. I should know all this but I don't. Never owned a modern day bike before. All my previous bikes had carburetors.

The autotune was a separate unit that dynojet sold that would pair with the power commander and basically tailor a live tune as you rode around. If you dont have that unit also you can't do autotune.
As far as the exhaust popping goes I believe you're thinking of the Pair Valve. Some guys get aftermarket plates to delete them. Not sure how that would affect your tune.
Our stock exhausts do have an O2 sensor from the factory but it can be deleted. I actually deleted mine by just buying one of the adapters to plug onto the pigtail connection for it.
Powerdubs will be better to explain any questions you have as far as how the tuning works in relation to exhaust air / o2 sensors. Not my wheelhouse as much as his.

No need for the plates. Just plug the main hose coming off the valve cover.
I bought a set of various rubber plugs from an auto parts store and one fit inside the hose perfectly.
Some guys use a marble- I just wanted something easier to remove.

I never deleted mine because I like the decel pop but put or curiosity do you have a picture of which hose that is Dubs?
