Best PCIIIr map
So is there an optimal map for each single bike, its PC, and its exhaust system, or is there an optimal map for all, say, '01 12Rs with full Muzzy systems? That is, does every bike need to be individually "mapped" in order to achieve its best. Somebody was saying to me the other day that bikes are so idiosyncratic that the only way to get them running at their peak is, if they are on a PC, to have them set up each separately. I mentioned before that there is a shop that will map my bike in 250rpm increments, but for a significant cost. But don't all you people out there with the same year bike and the same exhaust system agree that there is one map which best serves all?
I am about to pass the 15000km mark on last latest set of 208s. (10,000 miles) Has anybody else noticed that the latest 208s seems to be lasting a lot longer?

You definitely can get very close by one of the maps that we have built on the power commander website. If you want optimal a custom map is definitely the way to go.
If you don't mind me asking how are you able to tune every 250 on your bike? AND holy shit 10000 miles! Just passed 800 miles on my latest 208's and the sides are probably a little more than 1/2 tread now. Might get 2000 out of them if I am really nice.

I have no idea how the tires have lasted so long. They were installed at 29,613kms and I am now at 44,499kms. Even if I rode like a granny, they should have worn out before now. But the dealer at which I bought them says more an dmore are noticing longer wear from their 208s. And I have no complaints about their grip, and only a couple slips coming hard out of corners. If they had hardened the rubber compound in order to lengthen wear, the grip would be lessened, right?
As for the 250rpm increments, it has been explained to me that the shop hooks the bike to a eddy flow dyno, and then does readings on the exhaust gases at different rpms.
With this crappy map, the bike is running below 160 hp right now, so maybe that is the secret to longer tire wear! I am meeting somebody to morrow to play with different maps, so I guess tire wear is about to go all to hell.
