Power Commander 3 Full Install - Mapping to Installation (Part 1)

Part 1 of a 2 part Series
There are many reason why you may be thinking about purchasing a Power Commander. Increased horsepower, fine tuning your racing machine, addition of some aftermarket parts or maybe you just want to dive deeper into your knowledge. ALL ARE VERY GOOD REASONS.
As for me I recently purchased a new motor with 1,600 miles on it. With my previous bolt-on mods of a Yoshi Exhaust and K&N Air filter this made my new engine run lean, thus making the exhaust piping extremely hot (more to it then that but you get what I'm saying). With heat pouring out from the piping this made street riding unbearable. In fact the heat was so bad that it began to warp my cheap chinese fairings and discolor/buble my paint.
Now, don't get what i'm saying about heat confused. The pipes were heating up due the lean condition, not the engine, the engine ran at its normal operating temp and never overheated. The only way to richen out a lean condition is with a fuel manager such as a PC3.

    Ur videos have given me the inspiration and confidence to troubleshoot and remedy if needed several applications outlined in ur videos. My 01 GSXR 1000 has a PC III USB with a custom map that I inherited when purchased. The bike started to backfire when idling after I repaired an exhaust leak at the mid pipe. When I hooked up my laptop, established comms with the PC III and was viewing the custom map I noticed at throtlle position 0, rpms 1000/1500 and 2000 had a -10 defined in the text fields which indicated to me a lean condition which in turn would cause my backfires when idling. I changed these values to 0 and the backfires immediately stopped. I know the bike needs a proper tune which will happen come springtime. THANKS for the informative vids. Much appreiciated....

My intention was to document my repair jobs as I learned and worked on my own bike, something I could go back to if the problem happened again. I got such a good response from viewers that I continued to record each and every problem that occurred creating what is now some 90 video library over the course of 7 years. While i dont proclaim myself to be an expert I do offer advice and troubleshooting tips to those willing to listen. hope you stick around, I'm always working on something whether it be a repair or modification.

Go to your garage and on the top right you'll see 3 dots, click on those and select browse parts. Select Power Commander III. Then scroll down to Tunes and keep scrolling to the bottom where it says ACCESS TUNES, click on that box. Find your map and download it. Then go through the process of programming. Very easy. Good luck hope this helps. Todd Weiler

    Thanks Brother, does it matter what PC3.. Yes.. a simple net search will result in which one to purchase for your bike..This is primararly do to injector connection type. The maps will dictate the firing or spraying intervals based of the TPS signal (throttle input). Be sure to watch part two so you can see what installation is like.. pretty straight forward stuff.

    Michael Doucette, yes but the bike will have to be running (Live tune). From my experience if you turn the key to just the accessory position power is given for a few seconds for priming and then kills the power shutting down the PC3. You can try of course but like i said that has been my experience with my PC3. I have seen one video where a guy was able to keep power on to the pc3 with just the accessory on but this may very with older to newer versions of the unit.

    No marriage here brother. Divorce the two by pulling the plug and connecting everything up as normal and the bike returns to stock. Think of the power commander more as a translator with its own agenda, a man in the middle if you will. The ECM says one thing (Add Gas)--->[PCIII Translates (add MORE Gas)]---->Injectors (GOT IT... MORE GAS). The injectors never even heard the ECM... haha Everything remains on the PCIII.. That's why when you sell it to someone else they need to go in and clear that stored MAP and add the one specific to their needs.

    whats up brother. I find it odd that the previous owner of your PCIII didn't have a map on it if it came off his bike. Most people who sell their used PC3 wont go through the extra effort to erase the map off the unit which leads me to believe that his unit was defective when selling it to you.. that's assuming if your having trouble uploading a new map. Take for instance my PC3 which I purchased off of eBay, this unit came to me from a person who had it on his bike and had a map on it and since he knew it was going to be reprogrammed he left it on. If your having trouble finding a map for your bike I would suggest doing a net search to see what others have used that works for your setup. You can also get up on the forums and ask owners of the same bike with your modifications if they could give you a copy OR sell you a copy of there map which you can then upload to your PC3. Since it is working on theres it should give you a baseline to work from. If the issue is that you have a map and cant upload it to the PC3 try using a few different USB cables. Not all cables will communicate with the unit as you seen in the video.

    put a resister in series with the coolant temperature sensor. Tricking the ecu into thinking the bike is cooler then it really is, thus dumping more fuel. putting the fan on a switch might be a good idea(for obvious reasons). 100ohms is a good base to start with and knowing how much the temp reading has changed is crucial.

    If the bike has the same mods (exhaust/air filter) then yes sir.. this aside if your bike was Dyno tuned.. a Dyno tuned map is of course done on a specific engines performance and while it will work, it just won't be tuned to it's new home. Of course you can still install your pc3 anyways and just upload a zero map until you get those mods in on your new bike and then upload your old map once your ready.

As Brock says the power will be there if the tune is good. I sent you the hp and torque numbers, but I didn't send you the AFR numbers. Let me know if you want to see them. Mods K&N, Tsukigi exhaust and no PC. But good possibility that previous owner reflashed/flashed/remapped the stock ECU. 49 state bike, imported to hot and humid Malaysia. How did the map in this video work for you? My map on the stock ECU ran on the lean scale in certain rpm, speed range and also ran in the rich range in other areas. I'm still learning myself, so humor me a bit. I will tell you that on a certain pull and a specific gear the AFR was down in the 10.2(11.5 is defined as Best rich torque wot) to another range and finished in the 12.2(Defined as Safe power at WOT) It was a mess in my opinion, that's why I bought the PCIII. But who knows, it could be the right tune for this bike. It runs amazing(minor discrepancies), but thats subjective. The AFR range of 12.5-13.2 seems to be the tq/hp numbers. Look forward to hearing from you.

    What up Jamez, no worries we were all there at one point bro. The number of PC3 connectors is dependent on the number of injectors you have. On a bike such as my Gxxer there are 4 injectors, for 4 seperate cylinders, this is typically called a four stroke engine because there are 4 pistons moving up and down, 2 stroke engines equals 2 cylinders, 2 injectors, and two pistons...and so on. Each piston or cylinder needs fuel and this is the job of the injector. The timing and the amount of fuel to be sprayed into these cylinder is the job of the ECM, where it gets this signal from is the TPS (throttle position sensor). The ECM take the output signal from the TPS, runs it through its prgramming map and basically sends a voltage pulse signal to the injector(s) allowing it to activate and spray the required amount of gas needed to each cylinder. This pulse happens multiple times and very fast as you increase speed using the throttle. The PC3 is sort of like a middle man, sitting between the ECM, TPS, and the Injectors. It takes the pulse signal ment for the injectors coming from the ECM and runs that through its own program called a map. It then computes that signal and addes what it thinks is better for performance and shoots that singnal out to the injectors giving you better performance. I'm sure I missed something here but thats the gist of things. Does that make sence..?

    Lian Khup , ive never bought one new but im going to say no for the simple fact the even though you bought the Pc3 for your year there are different variations or applications that it may fit. Take the k4 and K5 600 and 750 GSXR . All have the same parts that are interchangeable but the 600 engine would not require the same amount of fuel. So while it may work out the box if it does come with a map preloaded it may not be for your specific year, make and model. I had a female friend purchase a PC5 from the dealership and she had to have it mapped even though she bought it specifically for her bike (FZ09)

    ** 2020 UPDATE ** For those of you looking to download a map for your motorcycle DynoJet has updated their website and you must NOW register in order to see the any maps. Once you have registered with the site , log in and go to www.dynojet.com/tunes and put in your bikes information in the 5 boxes located just under the picture titled "Tunes" and click go. Your bikes maps should populate and under the downloads column you should see the maps for you modifications. If you see login in this section then you are not logged in and must do so . For my 600 folks looking for a map you will find it under "Power Commander" dropdown AND NOT "Power Commander III USB". The pages are limited to only 10 maps per view and there is a total of 3 pages, so if you don't see your map on the first page be sure to go through all 3 pages .

When you get Dyno Tuned, you don't really see any techs using MACs to perform these jobs, partly because Apple 🍎 is so proprietary..and let's not forget more expensive for the abuse their going to put it through.
