what do these do exactly, how much are they, and where can you get one?

Hi

They go between the bikes wiring and the ecu, and the modify the signals from the ecu to change the fueling / ignition timing.

All the best

Sorry to be pedantic, but: https://www.powercommander.com is the official website. I'm sure that all of your answers can be found here.

Otherwise, it's what Keith said.

Oh and its probably worth saying that it only works on fuel injected bikes, and its for modifying the fuelling in line with other tuning mods such as a race can and free flowing air filter. Thumbs Up

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

although they also have an application stand alone too

Modern FI bikes are usually set rich for various reasons and a PC can be used to optimise the AF ratio without any mods

For example, the ZX12r has a notoriously snatchy throttle action at low rpm a PC can be used to smooth this out.

I think that's pretty bike specific though ain't it

Hi

Pretty much any bike with Sagem fuel injection, which is basically Triumphs and a few Aprilias.

All the best

Keith
