Comparison of Power Commander 5 to Monster ECU stage 1 or stage 2 flash

[Knizar]

Just by way of info……..and this is not an anti flash post, as the flash is the perfect option for an all round solution…….I had the stage 1 (with some stage 2 influences) installed on my ‘16F3-L. It worked a treat……but……on my ‘21 RT-L I opted for the Pedal Commander in the first instance. The removal of the slight lag when you are in too low a gear, and crisper throttle response is providing everything I need, so I won’t be moving to a flash. Once again, this is not an anti flash post, just an observation.

I very much agree with Pete, If and when I decide I want a quicker throttle I will go to a Pedal Box or Pedal Commander for the simple reason that should I ever want to move up to another bike it would be retrievable.

Excellent...I was wondering when monster fuel was going to expand to the western united states...what's the name of your shop?...and your webpage?

I have not had time to build my website yet.. Working on it, Ive been pretty slammed lately with my automotive stuff.. but my facebook is https://www.facebook.com/jediperformace

Ped Comander is a good product but it only modifies the data stream between the throttle and the throttle body it does not remove the torque limiting stuff. on the 1330 when you command full throttle you only get about 3/4

I have BOTH the Stage II from Monster Fuel And the Pedal Commander. The Tune Combined with the Commander is a mean set-up....they do work together!!!....I installed the tune first, then installed the commander...it runs the way its supposed to be from the factory...big difference.

Nice to know, quicker throttle response would be nice

I went on a nice long ryde with the Stage 2 WOW, after about a 1/4 tank of mixed street and highway, I'm really liking the throttle response and the amount of passing power, and well I seem to be getting better milage.. I don't think I would do a pedal commander as the it might make the throttle to twitchy and with a passenger that would not be fun for them... Highly recommend ECU Flash

Has anyone had the stage 1 installed and noticed and recorded any fuel mileage increase? On the road I'm only getting 30-36 MPG,
My Honda 1800 did 40-48 mpg running at the same speeds.

I fully agree; I have both. Setting the Pedal Commander to City +1 gives me all I want. Higher or Sport and Sport+ result in a monstrous amount of neck snap. Way too aggressive for daily use. I am 78, so all that power up front is way too much unless I go to the track [unlikely].

I didn't like that you had to take your ecu out and ship it off so i went with the Dynojet pv3 and got a tune from BLR tuning runs great and after a plug change it gets 40MPG.
