Re: Power comander
literally just set mine up again using a simple laptop, the DynoJet software and a map. The cable usually comes with the kit but if not I have loads of spare ones at mine, it's a USB cable called an A To B. £1 from poundlandPacuk wrote:Just had a look at otc, £40 per hour, how many hours does it generally take..

Make sure the kit you are buying hasn't been chopped

Re: Power comander
Its a used pc3 I've ordered, I think I need the usb and a 9v adaptor to power it whilst you put the maps on.. Going to wait till it arrives first just incase it does have them..rumpoldstilskin wrote:literally just set mine up again using a simple laptop, the DynoJet software and a map.

nah you don't need the 9v adapter, don't even think of spending your hard earned moolah. Even if you did want to power it away from the bike it's just a bog standard 9v rectangle battery you can buy anywhere and two wires to a pin each.Pacuk wrote:Its a used pc3 I've ordered, I think I need the usb and a 9v adaptor to power it whilst you put the maps on..

But f**k all that. Plug it into the bike and ground it to the - ive terminal and tap into the TPS wire using a line tap/clasp/splice or whatever you want (I prefer removable) and turn on the ignition (disconnect the headlight if you want to save your battery.
With the program open and the wire connecting the PC3 and laptop you click add map and hey presto you're done.
(Ish. Choose bike, can, air filter etc and what map you want) simple as. Easier than making a good brew or satisfying your women plus you won't have bad breath or need a shower afterward, just a sweet running bike

All this tap/splice/clasping talk goes way over my head if I'm being honest I'm crap with electrics...rumpoldstilskin wrote:nah you don't need the 9v adapter, don't even think of eating your hard earned moolah.

Re: Power comander
Literally a kid could do it, a piece of wire 12" long rated for 12amp+ or the one that is already on the PC3 loom and one of any of these and you're done.
No wire cutting involved, you may have to bare the end of the wire from the PC3 TPS wire is all and your teeth can do that if you don't have side cutters.
Literally straight forward line tapping
Be a man and try it

Re: Power comander
This is the simpler type to fit below (I've got loads spare too) but the above is more removable as you just pull out the spade connector
