    Maybe in the wrong section however.


    Has anyone fitted a powercommander to a 2010/2011 blade and if so how did you route the wiring?

    Mine is an abs model so bit short on space under the seat. The fitting instructions state route it down the left hand side but I cant see where

    I took out the non essential tools out of the kit, gives a bit more space.

    Also before you start try to rip out some of the plastic flap between the pillion seat and battery compartment. This will give you a bigger hole to route the wires through. I routed the main harness under the fuse box, it's quite easy to unclip using a screw driver.

    From the battery side get a pair of pliers and rip a bigger hole in that flap. If you have any jagged bit smooth them out with a file. The bigger the hole the easier to route.
    BTW to make things easier I used a old chop stick. Routing the longest wire first poke the end of the stick into the connector and guide through the hole job done!

    Routing is the hardest bit, the actual connecting is a piece of cake, but dont make the same error as me and connect the TPS connector to the MAP sensor, they look the same and both are very close together!

    Tps sensor? The instructions dont even mention that but there is a spare plug at the right hand side

    Yep that's why it takes nearly two hours to take rear pegs off
