There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Have you had an ECU Flash? How long did it take? Any good?

I’ve only had my F3-S for about a month. Got a killer deal on a 17 demo unit from BRP. I think I already know the answer but there is no warranty preservation with Monster or Pedal Commander right? I have tuned my Cummins diesel and know the risks but just wanted to be sure that all methods for the F3 void the factory warranty.

Yeah, I get that part.Like I said I have used them in many of my bikes. The part I can't seem to get a clear answer on is: Being that I am flashed already, but it is technically the stock (OEM) tune (albeit tweaked a bit), does it see it as a non-stock tune and get overwritten with what they consider a stock tune before any of their custom tunes can be loaded....

That would be the Thousand dollar Answer! I know they did say I could keep my PC hooked up when I hook up the PVCX tuner. Any way hope to hear if it will or wont in your case. That would be a sweet deal to do. Two separate tunes or more from two different vendors.

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.

Waiting on ECU
No, as a matter of fact. I'm waiting ( with baited breath :2excited
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.

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
