Re
ower Commander 5 or ECU swap?
I'm twisting their arms enough that they're ready to snap off. I can't give any more info other right now unfortunately.
On the other hand, I've asked the question of how many would be interested in an ECU exchange program for $750~1000 that would come pre-programmed for U.S. bikes, and the few basic mods that people are doing. This would entail a HUGE investment of time and money for me, but I'm ready to take the leap. Sound off below if you would put a deposit down now.

Reower Commander 5 or ECU swap?
Hey Todd what exactly would that mean? My questions would be how much would the PC be when it finally comes out? I mean we have waited this long for it. It seems like it would be a waste of time for you to do the ECU thing if the PC comes out and costs less, does more and works better. I plan on keeping my Norge stock and quiet. I would just want the PC to make it run as good as it can that way. Can you tell us why the ECU thing seems like a good idea?

Approx. costs for PC-V is $369.95 and if you add/include the AutoTune module (allows you to build your own map, at any time) is $369.95 = Total: $739.90 -- which arguably is a great solution. If you just buy the PC-V, and have it custom mapped, your looking at the same ball-park... however, as always, the maps I'll build in conjunction with DynoJet will be very very good too for just the $369.95.
That said, I am digging into the ECU programmer for a project I hope to do this year... a supercharger on a Griso 8V.
The re-programmer technology offers unlimited ECU parameter modulation (fuel, spark, 02-sensor target manipulation or on/off, warm-up correction and well as alitutude compenstation, etc., etc.). This will require extensive map build time on the dyno (for me), to offer reflashes for everyone here.
Mille Percento and a few others offer this ECU exchange program using Euro spec fuels, for similar pricing and basic mods.
Everyone is anxious (and trust me I am more then anyone) for the PC-V, but Dynojet's focus lies in their R.O.I. -- putting even Ducati/Guzzi being way down on the build list. HD and the off-road PowerSport industry are big $ makers for them.
Thoughts from there?

I 2nd the "Magic Box" option. I'm not a racer but simply can't understand why my B11 is hampered when hitting it hard at less than 4.5k. Otherwise I deeply love this machine. A 1100 cc running on premium gas should not studder or ping on full throttle ever. Is there no solution? Yes I would invest $400 for a solution. $1K no. Does the 1200, 2 valve, have the same problem? Considering a Sport since the B1200 is not available in states.

I am interested, especially if it could be customized for the GT B11 crossover with stock silencer and GT Air Box. Let me know if you want a deposit.
I have to say I am with the 400 dollar crowd. The PC made a huge difference on my old EV and Todd your map was spot on. When I got mine dynoed they made very little adjustment. I would like to go that way. It sounds like you are tired of messing with them and being put into the when they get around to it file. I am guessing the PC-V is looking to be a long long ways off. I think for the ECU money I will just have to wait. The Norge runs fine now I would just like for it to be all it can be.
