    Hey folks, I'm not too familiar with the Power Commander. If I were to install a PCV it remaps the ECU for more power, and if I needed to take my machine in for servicing I could just un plug the PCV and the shop would not know the ECU was remapped? Have I got that right?
    Thanks in advance.

    Same here, just can’t find the time to figure out where the ECU is on a STS, pull it and send it. Lol

    The Power Commader V piggy Backs thru the PC to the ECU it does not remap the ECU ,.Yes you could unplug it when servicing.

    Default Waiting on ECU

    No, as a matter of fact. I'm waiting ( with baited breath ) for the delivery-------- BUT------ the weather here is terrible. I used the snowblower 2x and 2x today. There will be one more episode with the snow machine before the day is done. The "Polar Vortex" ( otherwise known as winter in the central/eastern US.) has caused its usually chaos with transportation, ect.

    Even after it arrives the streets here are going to be well iced up. I'll have to wait.

    You bet. Could complain but it certainly wouldn't help. Roads in my neighborhood are still snow/ice covered. I'll just go fast skiing but ANOTHER three day storm is due starting tonite.

    PS: USPS says it's out for delivery today

    I'm excited 4 me 2. ANNNND it just arrived. But it's far to cold in my shop to install it. I'll heat up the shop tomorrow in install but won't be able to test for a while.

    New things appear everyday . Went back to dynojet site and now they have it configurable for the 2018 F3-S .
    So I input info to see products available and guess what pops up ? The Power Vision CX .
    looking into that it is a ecu re-flasher and they have 2 tunes available for it .
    From the horses mouth
    "The Power Commander is a piggy-back device that must be installed to function. The Power Vision CX is a re-flash device that doesn’t need to be installed. Both will give you more performance and improved drive-ability by adjusting the fuel & ignition, however, the Power Vision CX allows tune changes that can only occur by re-flashing the ECM such as: lowering cooling fan turn on temp, disabling torque limiting functions, and revised drive-by-wire profiles. The Power Commander offers faster real-time tuning through the device whereas the Power Vision CX requires the ECM to be re-flashed after changes are made to the tune."
    So now 2 choices from dynojet
    hmmm

    i received this today from maptunerx.
    Thanks for your email.
    We have stage 1 and stage 2 for your 2017 spyder f3s daytona
    Stage 1 + 7Hp
    Stage 2 with sport exhaust +9Hp
    Tune will only affect sport mode.
    Speed Limiter is removed with both stages.
    dynojet told me to expect around 10%hp gain with the powervision v3.
    power gains seem low compared to the monster fuel tunes +22hp ?.
    would be interesting to know what monsters secret sauce is as 22%hp gain seems high for a naturally aspirated engine re-map

    I won't claim I know HOW Monster gets to their number, however the Rotax used in the Aprilla ( which is also naturally aspirated ) claims about 160 HP …… So I think the power is in the Rotax !!!! ……….. I know about power to weight ratio's, so 10% power increase will show up on a DYNO, but not really in " seat of the pants " or 1/4 mile ( or passing ability )………….. anecdotal evidence from forum members - says Monster is the way to spend your money …..jmho ….

    It sure would be nice if ALL these companies selling ECU upgrades/add ons could PROVE their gains with a dyno print out. I spent my $$$ on the Monster tune based on what many folks here raved on about ( they can't all be on the payroll). I wanted plug and play-- so that's what I got.

    ……… However from what I've read about Dyno-ing any Spyder, it is a bit complicated...… But I think for a TUNER who is selling this type of product it would be worthwhile financially to have it done ……. jmho …. Mike

    torque limiter and throttle position adjustment alone would give you " seat of the pants " or 1/4 mile improvements . i cant understand why dynojet & maptunerx would be 12% lower than with the monster tune.
    after all its the same ecu tables there modifying.

    First thank you for correcting my HP number - but what I was pointing out was that the normally aspirated ROTAX engine has lots of ponies in it - that can be released ……… with the proper engine parts...…….. and does require a TURBO or Supercharger ……… Mike

    Whether 7 PS or 9 PS or 10% more horsepower is almost no matter. The force that drives you forward is important. Under what speed the newtonmeter are available. The overall package then makes the improved driveability and not the top performance, which may only be available at 8500 - 9000.

    Dyno Jet Power Vision
    “PVCX TUNES AVAILABLE

    Can-Am Spyder RT 2016 has tunes, see below.

    2505101
    7C1153OA7VKS1 : Stock exhaust, Stock intake
    2505102
    7C1153OD6VMS5 : Stock exhaust, Stock intake”

    Why 2016 and up? Aren’t the 1300s the same? And what are the differences between two tunes? No longer own a PC so I’m screwed ......

    I just ordered the Dynojet Power Vision, it seems to be user customizable and uses the existing port to connect. We'll see how she goes!

    Mine was done in early November 2018. Stage 2, and I am so satisfied with the vehicle now. Performance better, higher torque, no negatives. Fuel consumption the same, slightly better if you ride at constant speeds. But we live in the Adelaide hills, so the extra power is applied.
    Very happy.
