Hey is the Dynojet Power Commander III a plug in unit that requires it be hooked up to the dyno machine or could I just plug it in and notice the results?

The PC III unit is a plug in unit as far as installation on the bike. The unit has to be programed correctly for your bike. The programs are called "maps." You need a map that has been made for the specific combination of components that you have on your bike i.e. type of exhaust system, type of air system. Dynojet has lots of maps that you can download from their web site then load into your PCIII. For the absolute best map for your particlar bike you can have your bike dyno tuned by somebody that knows how to make custom maps for the PCIII. This is not necessary but a well done custom map will get every last bit of performance possible out of your bike.

Also, with the PCIII, "manual" adjustments can be made. There are buttons on the PCIII unit that allow you to manually adjust the Fuel Air Mixture at low, medium, and high rpm ranges individually. These manual adjustments are in addition to the map that has been loaded into the unit and do not change the map itself. The procedures for all this, uploading maps into the PCIII and making manual adjustments, are included in the instructions with the PCIII.

This site also has numerous maps that members have donated for anyone who wants them. Go to All Forums and down near the bottom you will see the PCIII maps section.

the pcIII is a plug and play unit. depending on who you order it from, you can have it preloaded with the map of you choice. but is easy to remap too. Big advantage of the pcIII is that no matter what mod you do to the bike one can adjust or remap to alow for those changes. the first thing you'll notice is the increase of peformance and throttle response. also your power band will be longer and smoother. kyle racing has the best price that i could find. good luck on whatever you decide here's the link http://www.kyleusa.com/catalog/power_commander_pc3_1001594.htm

I noticed the performance increase when I installed it in my stock bike, before I did the mods. I noticed that it was much more responsive to the 'Go' grip and it accelerated more briskly.

I got my PCIII at www.kyleusa.com, I've been very happy with the PCIII. I think it's well worth the price and it's flexability.

I feel it's flexabilty (programability) and ease of install will be very rewarding with all the current performance parts and FUTURE performance mods comming out for the Warrior over these next couple of years. [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

Chauvot boy, you will notice a difference on a stock bike. I put mine on my stock bike for about 200 miles. It does make it more responsive and I saw far fewer "hiccups" when getting on and off throttle. More responsive for sure, but I doubt any horsepower gain on stock bike. Beware, mine was supposed to come pre-programmed for the warrior, but it surely was not! I ran it without checking, man what a difference the proper map makes.

Arp, it was pre-programmed, just with the wrong map. Well, its funny, it didnt run necessarily bad, but something just wasnt right. It felt, wrong. I wish I knew how to explain it, but I cant. I shouldve checked it before I installed it. I'm told you can do that, but I didnt. So I rode it for 12-15 miles, and I had to check it. SO I got the laptop in the garage (had to borrow one), hooked it up and surenuff, wrong map. Not even a Warrior map at all. Loaded the map for the stock bike, and everything changed. Smoothness of acceleration, exhaust note, less "hiccups". This is a very cool little device. I love technology. It's working well with all of my mods.
