attentiongetter92 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I know a lot of you have power commanders and whatnot, I have decided I want one. My question is, what are they exactly? I have been reading a lot on bazzaz vs pc and I am completely lost. Is there any advantage/disadvantage over one or the other?ThanksDalton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey614 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Power commanders for the air fuel ratio so if you get a new exhaust and air filter u can tune ur air to fuel to maximize performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attentiongetter92 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Power commanders for the air fuel ratio so if you get a new exhaust and air filter u can tune ur air to fuel to maximize performanceI knew that. I was mainly asking if there was a reason to choose dynojet over bazzaz. Like if one company was better thethe other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 The more expensive the ecu the better the company, isn't that a universal truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 If this is for your CBR get a Bazzaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attentiongetter92 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 If this is for your CBR get a Bazzaz.That's what I was thinking, any particular reason from your standpoint? I have read it adjust in smaller increments and is more user friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Bazzaz controls both sets of injectors while the PC only controls the bottom set. If you are planning on doing your own tuning you will either need a Wideband O2 sensor or get on a dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attentiongetter92 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Actually I planned on giving you a shout when I get it. Feel free to pm me prices on the tuning and if you have any place you recommend on buying the bazzaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I know a lot of you have power commanders and whatnot, I have decided I want one. My question is, what are they exactly? expensive.What are you trying to achieve with an upgraded ECU? For street riding, more mid-range is going to be preferable to an extra 6hp on the top end.honestly though, the cheapest way to make your bike accelerate faster (which is what most people want) is to shed weight. From bike bike, or from yourself.Simply re-gearing (more teeth on the rear sprocket) will have a similar affect for a lot less money. Sure, your top-speed will be 145 instead of 158, but how often is that going to matter? Your fuel economy will suffer a little if you re-gear, but the power commander will likely have the same (although not as dramatic) effect.Just something to think about before you spend a bunch of money.

shadyone Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I picked the PCIII for my bike because it had a terrible surge at about 5000 rpm. and seemed like it had no power there either.. I also bought the quick shifter and was at the time never planning on getting a pro to tune it for me. or add traction control. and it was a little cheaper.. the bazzaz has more capability but only worth it if you are going to use it.. otherwise not much different.

imprez55 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) The advantage of a bazzaz is that it can be expanded to have traction control, quick shift, on the fly tuning etc all at a high premium. A power commander is sufficient with single injector control and cheaper, but has less upgradability (still can do the self mapping, quick shift but I have heard at less user friendly, i do not have experience on that though). They never developed a secondary injector control because dynojet says it added too little performance increase to justify the cost. You say you want one, but ou have to ask yourself does the price really justify the performance increase? You will gain a little top end if you already have spent a lot on performance upgrades The less you have upgraded, the less effect it will have. i.e. if you have a full system exhaust with AM air filter and velocity stacks, then you will gain a good amount. If you only have a slip on, its a waste. Edited July 18, 2011 by imprez55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 get a bazzaz and have brian tune it.His tunes cost $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 unless your bike is not running "well" (lean/rich), whether it is due to bike needing tune, or mods that pushed it out of tune... i tend to think they are not a good value (gains/$ spent).i recommend getting a dyno pull or two done to check whether your bike is running rich/lean and decide if it needs to be brought back in line.PC is typically way cheaper though.

attentiongetter92 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Right on thanks for the helps guys. The reason I am wanting one is because when I put my pipe on my bike it made it bog down at anything under about 3500rpm and anything above 40% throttle. Also made my gas mileage worse. And as for the gearing, I was thinking of dropping teeth, not adding them. I hope to do longer range riding soon and I don't think keeping the motor at 8k is good for reliability.
