In my opinion, you already paid for a power commander 5. So get the Autotune for the power commander 5 and it will tune as you go. The autotune will tune the bike for you.
Make sure to double check if the exup valve is opening and closing. Same thing happened tome with My r1 07, and ir was the exup valve cable. One of the was broken.
Hey MC. In one of your videos I heard you had said there was a common problem with the horn on the zx6r. Well over the winter I was on my bike and tried my horn and it didn't work but I attributed that to the ice that was all over the bike. A few days later it was above freezing and I tried the horn and it worked. Well a few weeks after that it was a nice warm day, I tried the horn and it didn't work. So at this point I figured it was not the ice because it was well above freezing at this point. After checking to see what the deal was, I discovered one of the wires connected to the horn was just hanging there. So now I have some work to do with the horn myself.
I took mine to the dealership, and they covered the repair, as there was a factor recall on it. It would have been nice if I had received a letter from Kawasaki on the recall, instead of having to find out about it from some obscure forum, where someone had mentioned it. But until then, I bought some clips and clamped one on as a temporary fix.
good ,job , thats the whole idea, learn it by testing dif. settings til your happy 👍
Can't you pull timing with the PC5?
Not coming at u sideways at all man but ur wrong about the tune. That is exactly how professional shops tune bikes, they piggyback off of another bike that has the same set up, that’s how it’s done. That’s why they ask for ur set up when u send in the ecu if u do that. Jus my opinion, take ur bike to a shop that knows how to tune. Sounds like ur bike isn’t getting enough fuel on start up, that’s why it starts when u rev it.
I hear you on that. I would much rather have the ECU tuned than use the PCV. (Nothing against the PCV. It's a good product.) The problem is I don't trust the Kawi dealer in our area. I've caught them in their lies, and experienced their laziness. The closest dyno would be in Las Vegas, which is almost 3 hours away.
@@mcrockett8884 yeah I hear u on that. I have the same bike but a 21 model. I sent my ecu to Moore Mafia, he’s on CZcams if u never heard of him. He’s good. Ur bike sounds awesome btw
@@megatron7862 Thanks, man. Yeah, I'm familiar with Moore. He seems very knowledgeable in what he does. I have considered him. I just don't like being without my bike. When I can't ride my bike, I have to drive my CAR (shudder). LOL
And yes, you're also right about the tuning. The tuners build their maps based on bikes that they have tuned before. And that would work most of the time. But try as the manufacturer does to create all machines of the same model equal, there is always the possibility of an unforeseen anomaly that can cause a tune to not work as intended on a particular specimen. What I said was more of a disclaimer. I should have been more clear.
@@mcrockett8884 totally feel u on being without ur bike lol. Ride safe my bro. Looking forward to future videos. New subscriber btw
@@megatron7862 You ride safe, too. Thanks for the chat.
You should have just gotten a ecu flash..it's better than the pc5 and it cost less..plus you add horsepower
ECU flash is the same thing as a power commander, if you want to actually add some power get a dyno tune.
How are you having aoooo many problems with the bike.? I have a 2019 and never failed on me ... I don't understand
get a afr gauge
PCV auto tune will get you in a better place 👍
Why even bother with this? It’s time consuming to install it, and wayyy too expensive on top of that. Why not just get a dyno tune? Or better yet, just have a ECU flashed and be done. The power commander doesn’t fix factory restrictions on the ECU. I am running the Graves WORKS2 full titanium system, and the DNA Air-Filter, and I have the GRAVES map loaded on after a ECU Re-Flash. Freaking bike pulls like a damn freight train all the way to 16K RPM. I put the first 100 miles on it today after getting my ECU back. I’m in heaven man. It’s an animal. MY Mind is STRAIGHT blown. 13HP TOP-end gains from what Graves says. And 11HP mid range gains. Just a re-flash, and graves settings configured on my ECU. I’d never run a power commander. I’m good to go. I also deleted my O2 sensor entirely. Unplugged, and removed . Bike is a damn BEASTAZOID
Just take that power commander off js
