Power Commander V USB Dynojet SALE

New Powercommander V - UK Version

The New Power Commander V is loaded with tons of new features. It is compatible with 2009 and newer bike models. Below you will find some Power Commander V features.

Reduced size from PCIIIusb (less than half of the size of PCIII)
USB powered from computer (9 volt adapter is no longer needed for programming)
2 position map switching function built in (map switch not included. Available here)
Gear input (allows for map adjustment based on gear and speed)
Analog input (allows user to install any 0-5 volt sensor and build an adjustment table based on its input such as boost or temperature)
With gear position input connected the PCV is capable of allowing each cylinder to be mapped individually and for each gear (for example: on a 4 cylinder bike with a six speed transmission there could be up to 24 separate fuel tables).
Unit has a -100/+250% fuel change range (up from -100/+100%). This allows more adjustment range for 8 injector sportbikes
10 throttle position columns (up from 9 on PCIIIusb)
Enhanced “accel pump” utility (increased adjustment and sensitivity ranges)

What a Powercommander Does

The PowerCommander is a fuel injection and adjustment unit that plugs "inline" with the bikes' stock ECU.

The PowerCommander uses original equipment style connectors so that no splicing or cutting of the harness is required. Most installations take less than 15 minutes, some as little as 5 minutes.

Changes are made to the bikes fuel curves via the PowerCommander's onboard microprocessor. Using this technology we are able to offer a large area of adjustment without making any permanent changes to the bikes' ECU (electronic control unit).

Removing the PowerCommander returns the bike to its previous stock condition. The Power Commander can be ordered preprogrammed with a your choice of several settings, based on the modifications to your bike. The unit also comes complete with software and cable link that allows you to change between different maps or make adjustments to a map file. Also included on the CD are video tutorials and a comprehensive manual.

Uploading a new map is simple. You visit the PowerCommander website and download a pre-configured map for your bike, upload it via the included USB cable and plug the PowerCommander back into your bike!

To get even more from your motorcycle you can contact our Tuning Centre to have a custom map built for your specific motorcycle and performance parts set up on our Dyno.

How much additional horsepower will the Power Commander give me?

Air Fuel Graph

Well that can depend upon many things but what we can tell you is "The perfect air/fuel ratio will ensure that the engine can produce the maximum possible horsepower for that given combination". We must also understand that a typical street rider spends a great deal of time riding in part throttle conditions. Shown to the right are two graphs of a motorcycle before and after installation of the Power Commander.

The top section of the graph shows the horsepower curve accelerating at a 40% throttle opening and the lower part of the graph shows the corresponding air / fuel ratio. You can see a large horsepower increase between the two. The red curve shows a typical stock motorcycle with minor performance modifications (slip-on exhaust). The blue curve shows that same combination with the PC installed and you can see that the line is nearly straight. So the rider will feel a large improvement while riding the motorcycle and it is very possible that the peak wide open throttle horsepower is unchanged. The correct air/fuel ratio number (say 12.9:1 or 13.2:1) depends upon many factors like combustion chamber design but what we want is that figure at every point in the curve (straight line).

How can I tune with the Power Commander?

Base Map

The Power Commander is supplied with a given (base) map stored in the microprocessor. This (base map) is typically a map that has been developed to provide an improvement for most combinations matching the map description (i.e. stock bike or performance exhaust and air filter). In general we have found that a typical stock bike has areas in the fuel curve that are far from optimal for drive-ability and performance. We could say that they are typically 70% optimized in stock condition and 60% - 65% with minor performance modifications. After installation of the Power Commander with the base map, we would expect to see 85%-95% optimization.

Alternate Maps

Each Power Commander is supplied with a number of alternate maps on a CD-ROM and all the maps are available for download on the PowerCommander website. You may notice that there is a map specifically for "Brand A" slip-on exhaust and another for "Brand B" slip-on exhaust. Although the difference between the two maps is likely to be very small, these difference will increase the optimization for that given combination. If you have a "Brand C" exhaust and a specific map is not available, you should find that "Brand A" or Brand B" maps will provide a good improvement on your bike.

Face Plate Buttons

You can change the fuel curve with the faceplate buttons on the Power Commander. This is a simple adjustment that can move the fuel curve richer or leaner in each area of the map. (Please refer to the paper installation guide or adjustment video on the CD-ROM).

Computer Mapping

If you have a Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP computer, you can upload alternate maps or make changes to the existing map using the Control Center software and link cable (USB) supplied with your PC. (Detailed Software tutorials and quick reference software screen shots are available on the CD-ROM or web-site).

How do I get 100% optimization?

You installed the PC, you noticed a positive improvement and the most annoying problems like overheating, surging or pinging have been eliminated. In this state you are probably 90% optimized. If you desire 100% optimization or you require a custom map for a special application, you must get in touch with our Dyno Tuning Centre.

Dynojet has trained our Dyno Tuning Centre staff so that we can offer you this service. We are a "Dynojet Approved Power Commander Tuning Centre".

Ignition

Power Commanders for some models can also control the Ignition Curve. All Harley-Davidson PCIII USB models have ignition adjustability. You can adjust the ignition curve for increased part throttle response, increased peak power, or to eliminate detonation. On most models the ignition curve is close to optimum for "pump" fuel. In some cases it is possible to increase part throttle torque by adjusting the timing. With high octane racing fuel further gains can be realized at wide open throttle. Harley Davidson models, in some configurations, can benefit from a reduction in timing advance. If heavily loaded or during hot weather the PC can be adjusted to eliminate the "pinging" that is so common during these conditions.
