The BIG Dynojet PowerCommander V and AutoTune Q&A topic

[Blue_eyes]

the only thing that worries me is the xmas post in uk is terrible, it might get lost or take ages to get back to me like january or something crazy, making me think i might wait til january to send it ::010::

That's exactly why I will send it off next early week.

Thanks to Blue Eyes for his informative posts. We appreciate the support!

Unfortunately I am not sure what the "unrestricted" ECU settings are. Could be related to ignition timing and/or different control over the fly-by-wire throttle. Unfortunately the PCV does NOT have control over either of these things. In either case the PCV will allow you to optimize your air/fuel curve allowing your bike to run the best that it can in its current state.

Any other questions send them over.

Thanks DynojetResearch.

I live in Holland in a small village next to Hans Kerkhoven, your EMEA distributor. So I know Hans quite well, he setup the PC III and V for several of my bikes.

Our last mutual project was my Yamaha XJR1300 which unfortunately did not succeed due to the exotic O2 sensor. We even had someone from Dynojet USA over to see if he could crack it. Maybe that was you?

Really love the Dynojet stuff!

Got the PCV and auto tune set up and took a ride today. I found a great road where I could really wind it out. The bike really gets there fast when winding it up to 8 grand and shifting. 8 grand in 6th gear is a blast.

Ok, got home and put the laptop on the bike. Trim values had populated and I accepted them and sent and saved.
Going out tomorrow for a longer run. Might have to take the laptop with me.... ::025::

Jim,

Send that map to me so I can take a look at it... I saved mine today.... Maybe because of the cold several cells have changes significantly.. I saved and reloaded it back to the PC

I just installed my Akrapovic exhaust as Blue Eyes recommends and have my LCD display ready to receive information from the PCV ... bought the LCD100 as the Dynojet site recommends through their distributor in Chile (www.dynomecanica.cl) since they cannot sell in USA for foreign individuals ... unfortunately the cable that came with the display was not the adequate for the PCV ... the distributor said it was the PCIII one ... I mailed Dynojet:
Hi Kathy ... today I received my LCD100 from your distributor in Chile
and we checked it to see if it complies with my Power Commander V ...
unfortunately the cable you sent is for the PCIII so Mr. Enzo Brunel
is sending it back requesting the correct cable ... it seems that the
information in your site is not correct since it mentions the LCD100
for the PCV (http://www.powercommander.com/powercommander/powercommanders.aspx?mk=28&mdl=118&yr=2011&pc=22-041&mk-n=Yamaha&mdl-n=XTZ1200&pc-ver=PCV&add-mdlyrid=22-041&add-mdlyrid2=22-041&fullstr=22-041)
and in some other part it mentions the LCD200
(http://www.powercommander.com/powercommander/Products/LCDUnit/powercommander_lcd.aspx)
saying the following: Power Commander LCD-200 Unit Features
Can be connected to Power Commander V, WideBand2, AutoTune, CMD and
CMD Marine units ... ???????

Still waiting for the correct cable and have been told that the difference between the LCD100 and LCD200 is only a firmware upgrade ... when completed I will show how it performs and if it is a necessary 'gadget'.
Thanks Blue Eyes ... I'm using your table and the bike just 'took off'
Cheers,
Roberto

Love the "and the bike just 'took off ' ".... ::025:: ::025:: ::025::

But it's true, it is such another bike with whent you fit the Arrow headers, Akra, K&N, PC V and AT.

I honestly wish all others that ride the XT1200Z would experience what this bike can feel like... ::004::

It's a rocketship!

i went from an xjr1300 that was tuned and pipes all the shit.
this bike was weezy and no character or power, but now im hooked. the only thin left is ECUremap then look out 8)

+1 It's the same experience now that I installed the Akrapovic

The bike before this XT1200Z was a 2010 XJR1300 pimped to the max:

I am experiencing a problem with my main laptop and the PCV maps. When not connected to the bike the program will only show the fuel map. It will not show the AFR or Trim map.
On my netbook it will show all three maps and not be connected to the bike.

I have reloaded version 1.06 and that did not help.
Any ideas on what is the problem?
Thanks

@Blue_eyes,,,, Nice bike
Also, are you still 3/4 open on the right side TB. I noticed a post you made on the 2nd and just wondered.

Not sure, but check these settings in the PC V Control Center Software of your main laptop (as I understand it you have a "main laptop" and another netbook?).

Goto Environment options in the upper menu.

See if you have checked ON the option: "Show Auto Tune tables even if PowerCommander is not Auto Tune enabled".

Check that option "on".

You can also verify that option on the netbook, if it is "off" on the main laptop and "on" on your netbook, that might be causing the issue on your main laptop.

Screenshot of that option:

The bikes that arrived in the states, had the air screw on the right TB closed and the left TB was synced to the right.
To improve the engine characteristics we opened the right side throttle body air screw 3/4 turn and then synced using the left side tbs. Also at that time the CO was opened to +6.

I was wondering if you had done that before the PCV and if you had kept the same setting after the installation of the PCV and Auto Tune.

I am not good at explaining things, so hope this is stated correctly.
Thanks
