seanya1604 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Ok, so I recently posted that I was having some issues with my Leo Vince SBK slip on and I ordered a Dyno Power Commander III to try to help with fuel control issues. I was told by Leo Vince that I shouldn't need one, but it is apparent that either a plug is jacked up or I have to install this. Since I am already taking things apart, I am going to check the plugs and install the Power Commander. I already have the bike apart, except for the tank.My goal is to learn to do this, but to do it correctly and to be able to ride once the job is completed. I am confident I can get the job accomplished, but I don't want to make this problem any worse.Would anyone that has done this before be willing to work with me to complete this task this weekend for $100? I don't just want to hand it off to be completed. I want to be part of finishing what I started without screwing it up any further.It is on a 2006 CBR600RR.Let me know if anyone is interested!

Bad324 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 honestly, do it yourself. Its so ridiculously easy its not even funny, literally plug and play1) Install PCIII software to comp2) Find a map on the dynotune website or 600rr.net and download it to computer3) Pull off tank (I cant remember if you can get the tank cover and tank off without taking the side fairings so those might need to come off too)4) Locate main electrical harness and plug in PCIII5) start and run bike to make sure you didn't screw anything up6) put fairings back on and enjoyI never did the install on my 600rr but did it on my VFR. I did do a speedohealer on the 600rr and this is exactly what i did and that harness if my memory serves me right is under the tank. Either way the PCIII comes with instructions for the model of bike that area easy as hell. No need to spend a ton more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks Bad. I hope it's easy, but my fear is that my bogging problem won't be resolved and it could be plugs or something else that I can't troubleshoot.It's been 2 weeks without riding and if I don't get this fixed, I'm going to have to take it in and they will take it in the back, probably tighten a screw, and charge me hundreds. I just want to resolve the issue once and for all and learn from it.If all fails, your steps seem exactly right. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!if its bogging with only a slip on, my guess would be that the PCIII will not fix the problem. My 600rr was a local whore and was beat to shit but ran like butter, even with one of the previous owners deciding he wanted it loud but not pay for it and just jammed a screwdriver in the bottom of the stock can for noise. Still ran great thoughI feel your pain, my bike has been down for 2 weeks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 "My 600rr was a local whore and was beat to shit but ran like butter". Now that's funny! ha ha ha!Yeah, it seemed like it was running fine. Then I went to the gas station (shitty marathon) and put a gallon in. It immediately started the bogging. So I took out the fuel, put sunoco in it and ran some of that fuel cleaner crap. Runs fine for the first 5 minutes, then first gear starts to bog in lower rpms. Bogs when they are high too in like 3rd/4th gears. Then she cools and runs fine again for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wht_scorpion Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Did you get the power commander hook up yet and hows it running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 It actually arrives Thursday. I'll make sure to update the post with results! That is if it gets mapped correctly and works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Honestly though, I would be happy spending the $ to know it was being done correctly and the problem resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I installed the one on my 07 cbr 1000 it wasn't too difficult just took some patience. Had to remove both seats tank cover tilt the tank remove air box clip into the injectors then run the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Is the bike rideable? If so I'm pretty sure I'm free sun and Monday if you wanna bring it over I can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Are you getting it tuned or anything? Have a map ready to put on it? If you're putting it on the dyno don't put on your PC til you're getting ready to get the bike on the dyno. If you're putting on a pre made map make sure you have it ready to go.You'll want to go get it put on a dyno regardless. GL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download a map from online that could work for your bike with the set up you have Edited July 6, 2011 by wht_scorpion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I will be installing a PCIII and downloaded map on a 02 r1 within the next three days. If you really want I could post step by step instructions (but really its as easy wiring in 3 connectors and downloading a map with a usb cord). You should just be able to remove the plugs with a spark plug socket after the ignition coils have been taken out, and then just check to see how they look.

SJC1000rr Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) I've installed a PC3 on my 07 600rr and 07 1000rr. I also uninstalled the pc and reinstalled a Bazzaz on my 600. Let me know if you need any help since I pretty much know the bike inside and out. But honestly, just follow their instructions since its pretty accurate with pictures. The hardest part is getting the TPS sensor out to connect it since its such a small area.2005-PC3http://www.powercommander.com/downloads/117/install/411/eng117-411.pdf05-PC-V with color picshttp://www.powercommander.com/downloads/16-023/install/pcv/eng16-023.pdf Edited July 6, 2011 by SJC1000rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamNofR1 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I installed my Power Commander V a couple months ago on my R1 and it was super easy. I am no mechanic either. The hardest part for me was splicing into the ECU harness. Since there's literally no slack in those wires, it was a PITA and I ended up having to rig up an extension of that wire just to splice into it. Good enough for gub'ment work I guess.

I have the instructions and they look pretty clear. All I have left is the tank and whatever I find under there. Hopefully that's it.

I will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 A pre-made map may not fix it due to the fact that every bike is different. When I got my 07 tuned by brian, my map was suppose to be close to what I had and we had to start from scratch. Best best is to install the PC3, take it to DTM and get two runs to test Air/Fuel ratios. That will tell you where you are and need to be with graphs/numbers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
