Have any of you purchased this product for your 2014+ Tenere? I am curious how it works and if it is worth the cost/hassle?

Yes, many of them.... easy to install.......... yes it works with the correct software............ really helps the over all fueling throughout the entire RPM range.....

I had to install a PC-V on my DL1000 V-Strom; the low-RPM fueling truly was atrocious. The fueling on my '14 Ténéré is, if not perfect, more than adequate. YMMV, but I can see no need for a Power Commander on my bike.

I have often thought about getting one if for nothing else but to smooth out the abruptness of the throttle in sport mode in low RPM 1st/2nd gear. My FJR had a similar issue and the power commander fixed it.

I don't understand adding a PC when you can reflash the ECU. Reflash is simpler, several less pieces/parts to break down the road.

It's my understanding that the 2014+ don't benefit as much from the flash as the previous years models and with a PC, you can modify the map anytime.

If you just cruise on your bike it’s probably not worth it and your MPGs will go down. If you’re trying to get more performance out of it a PCV helps. I found the difference very noticeable. I then added headers and a custom fuel map and am very happy with the bike.
