Power Commander fun!

Hi all, I've just fitted a Power Commander 3USB to my speed triple along with a host of other goodies Laughing

Over all I'm a happy boy, I have a K&N hi flow filter in place and a Renagade end can.

It goes like stink especially with the quick action throttle Very Happy

However I'm still a little troubled about the bottom end performance. I've had a good look at the Dyno graphs and feel I'm a little rich at the bottom end, I'll be having a chat with mr tunning bloke about it.

So I'm really wondering how many of you have gone down this road, my triple is a 2000 reg and I'm getting 105bhp at the wheel, not bad but I was hoping to squeze a few more nags out of it.

To be honest I don't feel that the power commander was worth the money, I had a standard map put on by my Triumph dealer before the power commander and I gained 5hp the PC3 only managed to get 2hp more, the fuel is better obviously but I can hardly tell the difference after the PC3 was fitted.

Anyone comment?

get it properly set-up on a rolling road. The universal maps are usually not perfect for your individual bike and wont give you the maximum output.

How about a full system instead of just the can?

Where'd you take it?

There's only one tuner I would use in your neck of the woods. Paul Watson at Dynospeed Developments in Chigwell, only 25 minutes from you.

Chigwell!!!! that's the wrong side of the water mate!! lol Might be worth a trip when I get a passport Laughing

I took the Triple to Bob Farnhams Tunning shop, he's been doing it for 30 years and is a bit of a legend, so I'm happy that he knows his stuff.
