954rr

[5DeadHookersI...]

Hi guys,

First post here.

So I bought a 954 02 bike on a 51 plate so the first run. anyways I'm looking at doing a couple of mods.

bought a pc3 off ebay for a 929. planning to get it mapped on a dyno when lockdowns done. in the mean time I tried to install map for a 954 suiting my set up. kept getting an incompatible map error. managed to copy and paste the fuel chart from my desired map onto the 929 map that was already on the unit and its running. so its a temporary solution. I would prefer for it just to accept my maps without pissing about since the 929/954 PC3 were the same unit.

I'm planning to reset then update the firmware on the pc3 to see if that will allow me to load the desired maps but I've seen reports of them getting stuck in boot mode when doing this. from what I can gather you can't do it on the bike you need to use the battery cable to power the unit. does anyone have any experience in doing this to confirm this? I'm assuming it may vary from bike to bike. common sense would suggest flashing it whilst attached to bike for power causes a power interruption and gets it stuck whilst updating. I'm wondering though whether id need to remove it from the bike when doing it with a battery attached so if anyone that's got experience in this feel free to chip in.

I'm also wanting to do the HTEV delete mod and the airbox mod. from what I can gather you need to remove the flapper on the airbox as well as the fitting runners and anything else that gets in the way to see any real difference. I've also heard if you remove the original htev unit and remove the valve then blank off the hole with a custom made plate and it does the same job as buying the delete unit. obviously saving £65 is a Good thing if this mod is just as good. Ill also be removing the cone thats is part of the link pipe.

I'm sure there's more questions but that will do for now. So anyone thats familiar with these mods or the PC3 feel free to weigh in.

cheers

Leave the air box alone. It does nothing to improve top end, and can make the midrange rough,

How will you measure the increase in performance after you make these modifications? Do you have objective baseline data, a dyno run perhaps, or are you relying on seat-of-the-pants dyno data? Seems to me that you are going to great lengths to save money in your quest. In my opinion, those who are successful at eeking out performance improvements with power commander maps and airbox modifications tend to be people who know what they are doing. They don't generally come to BCF to ask how to do it. My advice to you is to avoid making any modifications that you cannot undo. Otherwise, you may have 5 dead hookers and a dead CBR954 in your celler.

Maybe buy a PCIII for your bike rather than for a different model? Also, maybe change your username?

Getting bent out of shape is not going to get you a better answer. I owned a 954RR for a year and I spent a lot of time doing work on it. I can't answer your question about bad maps or whatever because I don't know.

Here's a bit of a reality check for you: This question is SO specific, I'd be surprised if anyone on this forum knows the answer.

The BEST thing to do would be to as follows:

1.) Contact someone who does know IE a company experienced with dyno tuning and PCIII specifically.

2.) Take their advice.

3.) Wind your neck in.

Wow, someone on the verge of flouncing in the workshop and I wasn't involved.

Appologies all for being remiss. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

I don't know anything specific about this bike but sometimes you get so deep into things it's worth getting a separate set of eyes on just as a sanity check.

For example, I was quite happy with my DT restoration and did the usual "show it off to ppl I know, much smugness, etc." one of whom was an MoT checker and they spotted some minor things I'd missed. It's good to have your ego taken down a peg or two from time to time

Anyhoo, while it might feel like throwing money away on a dyno tune or the like you really are into some heavy duty stuff. Most of the first posts here are "my 125 ran out of oil now it won't go!"
