yes gates open at 5pm or a bit before. we will be there. runs start at 6pm.

ridge that setup is nice. it shows that you have done a few. ridge would you like to answere stuart?
i will a little bit
stuart i know many who had issues with a pc. it died, no map save new pc and tune look at how much money there. i know NOX that there are people who have no issues at all. there has to be those people out there or powercommanders would not sell except that they are the only real choice in sort of complete tuneing.
the only reason i say sort of is the pc rpm/tps map is suspose to be a sort of over ride after the ECUs end result of all the things it looks at. it watches things that effect fueling like how fast the crank pulses are changeing for acceleration. it is looking at the map sensor which under typical driveing it is totaly running off the rpm vs cmhg map(density map) the only time is cares about tps vs rpm is when it is under a hard load.
there is timing tables for each cylinder on a tps vs rpm chart.
you get to do anything you ever want to do with your RPM limit or make it go away.
density vs the a-n map(tps vs rpm) means you can set it up to run anyway you want the afr when just driveing around and the wide open can be something totally different and be load sencing cause the bike going down hill vs up hill at same rpm uses different vacume.
the bike has a A map and a B map. we run off the B map till two wires get shorted together than it is the A map. so you can have two different tunes. yes the power commander has a gismo that lets you switch maps but how much added to the origional price? the ecu has it in now.
on newer bikes the speed issue can be turned off which allows the bike to use the correct gear map through all gears. hell i bet on the zx14 ECU ridge can find the number that you can change to get the speedo corrected in house again saveing money on extra junk to go bad and less seperat money spent to add to the list of gismoes you already payed for.
ther are lots of reasons to do it. and yes the PC has to be doing the job but in the end the ecu has to be the better way. there is a better chance ones power commander will puke than your ecu will puke.
Ridge if i forgot any other perks please fill in.
a ECU mod with a wide band logger looking at AFR, RPM and MAP is all you need to set up your bike. than with time to learn where you need to add or take away fuel you will have a nice running bike. and you did it your self. and you learned something. a dyno pull in 4th vs a logged 3rd blast over the bridge to the limiter produces the exact same afr curve. no more dyno needed for setting AFR. and the some talk about real world tune. well in gear on the street is real world.
i hope this helps. someone with race 600s gets something like 6ftlb more torque on a ecu tuned bike than a PC tuned bike proven.

RR,
a few years ago you raised the rev limit on my Y2K ECU to 12500, works great!

Q: is it possible to raise it further, say to 13000???

The software limit is 12,800.

These ECUs are 16 bit. This means the largest a number can be is 2 to the 16th power or 65,536. The RPM conversion factor is 5.12 which means the maximum RPM number the ECU can store is 65,536 / 5.12 = 12,800

Yes you can reflash a DaveO modded ECU. The DaveO mod is a clock crystal swap used to overclock the system. A 105% crystal would give you a max possible RPM of 13,440. When flashing the ECU you just have to remember to multiply your desired RPM by a correction factor before flashing it into the ECU.
