'Holy Guacamole' with only three weeks to go before my own arrives I think I can safely the Guacamole might have to wait a year or two, the days of the red mist deserted me twenty something years ago. & he said "Go Out & Buy the Motor Cycle of your dreams" message received, understood & actioned.
Love it. I ordered one tonight. I still have to get my baja ron sway bar put on. Cant wait.
Me and my riding buddy bought new rykers last spring. He put a pedal commander on his about half way through summer. He now needs a new rear tire and mine is still fine. Granted the OEM Kendas are crap and the ryker easily spins the rear tire without a pedal commander, but it does eat the rear tire much faster. For him, he would gladly buy a new tire every year to have the throttle response. It's not for me but everybody is different I guess is my point. Glad there is something out there to address the need. BTW, I love Slingmods. It's a great company. Have purchased several upgrades for my ryker from them. Another great video Coach! Thanks
You're KILLING me Coach! Killing me. I'm going to have $17,000 in Farkles BEFORE I even get the Spyder! Can't you recommend a cheap sticker or something? LOL Great vid man.
I had almost as much fun as you did watching and hearing your commentary! I stuck one in the Slingmods list on my account but was waiting for this video before I pulled the trigger. That list is long, by the way so this will jump ahead of quite a few "wants". BTW, on my Dodge Hemi, I had it installed on there for 2 or so years and never had once code thrown. And, I ran that car pretty hard! Have a great weekend Coach!
Great Vid CB. This Pedal Commander really peaks my interest. I have a Honda civic Si. Its comes with about 177HP at the wheels 200flb of torque. I've had a Hondata flashpro kit installed & then professionally tuned. The car NOW makes 231HP at the wheels & 266flb of torque. It's a turbocharged engine that are susceptible to turbo lag (hesitant after shifting). & that is gone now & it's a completely different beast with better fuel economy to boot. That's what the PC reminds me of. Although it's not adding HP, its definitely changed the mapping of the shift points which gives it a more responsive feel & characteristics. I'm not a hot rodder but it is fun to open it up every once in a while. This could be considered a safety tool also. It gives you the ability to quickly get out of the way of potential traffic issues if that ever occurs. Great video again CB & would you please thank coach Vic from my wife Keri & myself for the wonderful Spider decal. God bless ❤
Where I live L.A. this thing would get me lots of un-wanted interaction with the leo's.
Beautiful area BTW and nice review.
Glad to see your take on this. I found Sport mode on gravel roads the most fun so far. Spyder will cut power after rear slides "too much"
After this video, I guess I will turn the Pedal Commander on my Spyder RT limited "on" come warm weather and see what happens! Thanks
The sport setting on the wife's Ryker scares me. That machine is light for that kind of power. I don't want to end up in a ditch either. I must be getting old at 66.
Lmao 😂 👍🏿
I have a 2018 Goldwing DCT tour that I just love but my knee buckled the other day when I slipped on ice here in Oklahoma. I have been watching your channel for a few days now and Im thinking the spider is in my near future. I have a little over 5000 miles on it and I'm really leaning on either trading it or selling and getting a Spider RT. Love your videos so far. Looking forward to seeing you on the road.
Coach, OK.... I bought it. Your commentary, honesty and Martin the vlogger sold it. Thank you. I tend to have wrist numbness after riding for an hour. I think this will help because you don’t twist as much to get the same effect. I very seldom ride 2 up but will it work then also? I was told certain models really turn on the safety features once it senses a passenger. This video will definitely sell a bunch of Pedal Commanders. Hopefully you get to keep yours just for the awesome advertisement. I just purchased my second Spyder it drives great. I had intended it to be a weekend hobby but it turned into my Daily driver. I drive about an hour to and from work, mostly autobahn and the Spyder fits right in. Maybe I’ll post a video driving around Europe one day.
I've been watching and enjoying your videos for a few months now. Your and your wife's comments solidified my thoughts about the Spyder being the bike for me. I've shown my wife your videos to help her understand it better and how you two enjoy traveling together on it. I've been out of riding for some time but just bought a 2014 limited and waiting for it to get shipped here. We live up in the panhandle so it's a bit colder than where you are but I plan on some cold weather riding. Thanks for all of your twos videos and commentary on the bike.
I think you mentioned in a previous video that it was not weatherproof/rainproof. Is that the case and if so what do you do when it rains Do you have to remove it or hide it by some manner?.
You appear to be having too much fun!
Very informative video, thanks. I’m about to fit the Pedal Box version to my f3s.
Glad it helped!! Enjoy that new toy. They are a lot of fun.
Spinning the back tire is easy to do with my factory throttle control on my '18 RT-L. That would make it insane.
Looks like sport mode is good for twisties
Thanks for the review. I'm ordering one for my wife's 2019 F3t. She kept saying this spyder isn't as peppy as her 15 f3s was, and I think this will fix that feeling.
Yes you are correct. It is a ton of fun. Let me know how it feels after you get you're pedal commander installed!!!
Thanks for watching. CB3
@@CoachBob3 first thing she said was YES, THATS IT! So far so good.
Love the shirt!😂
Assuming your times are accurate, this is not doing much for actual acceration as it is the perception of excelleration. I would argue this is the equivalent of full trottle accerafions all fhe time, which cant be good for mileage and or engine longety. It sure raises the fun factor, but a pass in my book for the currect price point. Id rather (and did so) spend the money on other items su h as heated grips, and auxiliary lighting to be safer and more comfortable. Thanks for the video.
It really is the "seat of the pants" thing you're describing. It is a fun toy that makes the Spyder more exhilarating.
That said...I agree, utilitarian is where it's at. As an older rider..Comfort and function always trump fun. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice
Hi Coach Bob,
While I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos, I was especially interested in this one on the pedal commander.
But I wish I had read the comments more thoroughly. A good question was raised halfway through the comment section …about it voiding your warranty. I didn’t pick up on that the first time I saw this video. I’ve been waiting for my 22 RT Limited for almost 4 months, I’m finally going to pick it up tomorrow morning, and when I asked him to install the pedal commander on it before I picked it up, they said,”sure bring it on up …we’ll get it on for you. “ And then they called me back and said you do realize that this voids the entire warranty on the bike. Don’t you? needless to say I asked them not to install the pedal commander. I figured I’d wait until I’m well into my first year of full-time riding and make sure that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the bike before I do something as foolish as void the entire warranty.
Keep up the good work Coach Bob and “Hi” to coach Vic, from up-state New York!
I love the Pedal Commander.. but, it isn't worth voiding your warranty. I put mine on and it was quite simple to install and its function is quite ingenious. Enjoy your ride and when ya can try one without any issues....I think you're gonna love it.
That is right, it messed the throttle on our truck and got in touch with pedal commander and they said that they sent me the wrong one, since last november till now have not heard from them, not happy
That is not good at all!!! I am sorry to hear of your bad experience. I hope they get it resolve for ya.
Nice video. I do have to question, why mount this exposed? My suspicion is that one would find a setting they prefer and leave it there. Or am I wrong? If you would rarely adjust, then I would have mounted it under a user accessible panel (i.e., glove box or under the oil check panel).
I may mount it out of the way. But initially I wanted to show it and mess with it. There is in fact a blue tooth phone app so you can operate the device which I’ll show that soon. Also I will eventually post other mounting options.
Great comment. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey coach I`d like to get one but for the price I think it should be waterproof.My fear is it would get wet and stop working.
I'm going to get one for my Can-Am 2014 Rt . thanks!
AWEESOMEE!!! It is a lot of fun!!
You are the best
Thank ya sir!!!
Great job awesome review.... question, I see the Bluetooth, does that allow your phone to completely manage the PC...? Then you could leave the PC in a waterproof area.
Hello Dan, yes it will. The free android or iphone app will give you complete control over all the Pedal Commander settings so that you can tuck away the Pedal Commander in a waterproof area.
Coach Bob great video excellent information but there's one more test we would like to know would help us and our gas mileage or would it take away from it that would be the test you have to do next but it's always good information. Thank you👍🏍🏍🏍🏍🍦🍦
I was wondering the same thing about mileage.
During regular riding it seems to be very similar. During the acceleration phases MPG will go down. As I run a few tanks of fuel .. I will keep a record of it and let you know.
Enjoyed watching and learning but no where near the personal experience yet to deal with more power. If I may ask, what software do you use for video editing?
I use Apple Final Cut Pro X on an iMac for my editing. It is a great program.
We ride two-up all the time on our '18 RTL and I've never felt the need for more response (okay, 100+ passing a semi!), so I don't see the need for this for us. Being in our 70s, we thrill pretty easily. I've already got a Ryker 900 that scares the crap out of me, so thrills are already abundant. Now an F3, one-up, now were talking! Kinda curious, though, in your tests, what kind of rpm were you shifting at? That can make a world of difference to me. When I want power at 65 I just go to fifth. Just curious...
Honestly I wasn't watching the tach very closely... just riding by feel. As I felt the rpm's rise and the torque dissipate I hit the shifter. I know that I run the RPM's higher before shifting when using the PC. It just gets you to the power band more quickly. In real world city driving I think it is of benefit. Highway driving...probably not so much. As you said a simple downshift will get the RPM's up and deliver the needed torque to make a pass more quickly.
throw on a k&n air filter, cat delete pipe and akrapovic exhaust. bet that pedal commander will have even more pep then.
Coach, hope your doing well. I wanted to follow-up as I just tried installing a Pedal Commander on my 22 Sea 2 Sky. It has been causing a fault code PO122. Have you seen any others with issues?
I have not heard of it throwing codes. I have shared my PC with a few folks with success and no codes. I am sorry I couldn't be ore help on this. I will make a Wednesday question and answer video and throw it out there. Hopefully someone can give you a hand with it.
Would be interested in how it works for you with Vic and with Vic and trailer
I was wondering the same thing.
I'll get her on it and hook up the trailer. Coming soon... Thanks for the suggestion!! I appreciate it.
If installed, does that void my warranty on my 2020 Can Am Spyder RT?
That's my concern as well
Repeat this test with CoachVic on the back!
Did the top end change, higher mph?
It does not make the Spyder any "faster". It simply changes the amount of "twist" required by the throttle in order to achieve acceleration. It is a mighty fun toy. It does what a lot of the manufacturers are achieving through multiple "rider modes". Sport, road, etc... Thanks for watching!!!
Pedal commander or pedal box which one is the best?
I thinks they're very similar in how they work. I have seen the Lamonster install of the pedal box.. he's a solid fella... if he sales them they have to be good. That said...My pedal commander has been flawless in its operation.
@@CoachBob3 Thanks I went with the pedal commander.
Like I said before now you need to run a tank of gas through it IN EACH MODE and document the mpg...(sigh...)
I will check the mileage in the next couple of weeks. It will not affect highway driving, but city driving where you’re accelerating and decelerating often ...it will affect it somewhat. But I will write a check on it. We just got back from CA visiting our new grandson. It was awesome.
Why don’t you have the pedal commander on your bike anymore
I put it on and off... I do a lot of "rainy" riding this time of year. So, I pulled it off.
Is this unit waterproof
No it is not H2O proof. I am either going to mount it in a dry location or get a case of some sorts. That fix will be coming soon!!!
What happens when you have it on and also are in cruise control and then press the thumb switch up a notch or two which usually steps up 1 or 2 MPH?
The cruise control and all of it's features work normally. The MPH up and down operate as if the Pedal Commander isn't even there.
😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 interesting 🤔
it SLUNG some codes...jeebus creebus...
