    Hi guys .

    Fitted my PCV last night. Set TPS etc ...

    In the user guide it mentions that you can load two maps and use any open/close type switch for changing them.

    It looks like you just run 2 wires into the power commander. Am i right?

    Anybody got this working?

    Why would u want to change maps, I know u can do this but why would need to? If ur bike has an airfilter and can and that's the map u have loaded in why would u change it to a different map

    Depends what kind of riding your doing.
    Race bikes have multiple maps to switch through
    The new GSXR's for example have 3 maps to switch throu

    Full power.......For high performance

    Fuel saving......for touring

    low lower.......for riding in the wet


    Most people just run the high performance map with a power commander but it would be good to be able to switch to a fuel saving map for on the motorway and long touring trips etc

    Small difference as well...

    Map 1 - Yoshi, O2 Eliminator, Filter + Baffle fitted

    Map 2 - Yoshi, O2 Eliminator, Filter, no baffle

    Baffle in and baffle out is a good 1.
    If I have a yoshi can, race filter and 02 eliminator and baffle out how can u play about with different maps to reduce power

    you would need a custom map for less power/ fuel saving
