    Hello there,
    I have a 2009 repsol with Scorpion can and have removed metal mesh from Air Filter. Will I see any benefit with fitting a PC5. If yes what map would I use?

    The benefit from a power commander(PC) for me is not about straight bhp figure increases it more the benefit from a smoother and faster throttle response!

    The bottom line is will you see a benefit yes you will, but spending some extra money on either the autotune or a dyno setup for your bike will see even bigger benefits.
    Do you really need one for the modifications you have fitted to the bike No!

    I have fitted a PC to both current and my previous bikes and only changes I made to engine were the air filter and a slip on exhaust and in both occasions it transformed the throttle response I got out of the bikes.

    I currently have a PC5 fitted to my current bike and found a couple of hesitant/surging areas in the map downloaded from dynojet, mainly they were at the annoying rev ranges where u always tend to hit during cruising speed. I could twist throttle a lil more n bike took off but bring speed back to motorway speeds n surging was back it wasn't snuff to spit me off but was annoying!

    Hope that helps you a lil with your choice! :D

    Anyway over the weekend I fitted dynojet's autotune module and so far the results are promising it cured the hesitations I had during cruise speeds in less than 90 mins riding!
