Average Customer Rating:4.5 out of 5 (based on 1 rating)
The Power Commander III USB was introduced in 2003 and utilizes the same "direct injector control" technology as the PCIII. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port provides an instant, no-hassle way to connect the Power Commander module to a computer. This model also features an expansion port for future add-on modules like an ignition module.
Features
Hassle free communication with new USB support: The new Power Commander USB will instantly and automatically connect to the Power Commander Control Center software once it is installed. Simply "power up" the unit and connect the supplied USB cable to the computer and PCIII USB.
Automatic map retrieval upon connection: As soon as you connect the PCIII USB to the computer and launch the software, the map installed in the PCIII USB will be displayed.
Onboard notes storage: The PCIII USB stores the notes from the map in the onboard memory. This makes it easy to see exactly which map is loaded. The notes, just as the map itself, are automatically retrieved upon connecting to the unit.
Individual cylinder adjustment: All PCIII USB units have a "cylinder trim" adjustment feature that allows you to "offset" fuel to one or more cylinders. Additionally, for advanced users, the PCIII USB allows individual cylinder mapping. Now each cylinder can be mapped individually throughout the entire rpm/throttle position range.
Enhanced "file compare" utility: The PCIII USB software now allows you to compare two map files without the Power Commander connected. There is a numerical display as well as a brand new graphical display.
Easier to use "button adjustment" mode: The button adjustment has been made easier by introducing a "startup delay". This lets the user have enough time to start the bike and then switch the PCIII USB into "button adjust" mode. The ranges of the buttons are now displayed in the software. Simply connect the unit to the computer and press one of the buttons. Their ranges are shown on the screen.
"Expansion port" for future upgrades and accessories: The "expansion port" allows easy connection of upcoming accessories such as our new ignition module.
9V "Power Up" adapter: Every PCIII USB comes with a "power up" adapter which allows users to program and interface with the Power Commander on their desktop without being connected to the bike.
Accelerator Pump: You can adjust: A) The amount of fuel to add, B) The number of engine revolutions during which fuel is added, C) The sensitivity of throttle movement under which the accelerator pump is activated.
Pros: This product is great and made a big difference to the overall performance of the bike. I have installed a full titanium T-Force exhaust on the bike, and the power commander really helps to make the most of this. After re-mapping the acceleration of the bike was a lot smoother, as it had a bit of a flat spot at 6,000 and 10,000 rpm. I use my bike a lot on the track, so the power commander has let me set up the bike just the way I want it.
Cons: Even though you can download the "map files" for different exhausts from the "Dynojet Power Commander" website, these did not suit the bike. So, if you are not running a standard exhaust, be prepare for the cost of remapping. I know that you are often advised to re-map anyway, but I was hoping to not have re-map by downloading the new settings from the product's website.
