Default power commander?

I just picked up a pcV and I had a few q's before I put it on. I have the race map from the club kit on the bike now. When the I put the pcv on it with a zero tune it will be the same as not having the pcv installed so I will still be running the race tune? Its getting dyno tuned and i want the baseline to be the club kit map

I would not recommend a Power Commander for a twin cylinder bike. If you want to have your bike mapped and fueled properly, contact these people.

http://www.factorypro.com/about/indexabout.html

They also are affiliated with other shops around the country, but def call them.

Here's the situation, my buddy is going to a college for motorcycle tuning. His instructor offered to put my bike on the dyno and tune it for free. My bike ran fine with the race tune on it but I figured I shouldn't pass on an opportunity for a free dyno tune. I put the pc on it yesterday and it seems like it instantly changed my tune Damn thing is lean as hell now so im hoping the dyno tune straightens it out and I get a good power number if not ill take the pc off and run it with just the race tune and see if I get better numbers. Im hoping for the best but I can always go back it ran fine before. I don't know much about them why wouldn't you use a pc on a twin?

Curious as to why you think a PCV would not work on a twin cylinder bike? FactoryPro does not even offer a fuel injection adjusting device?

Big advantage of the PCV over other piggyback style systems is that we offer you to map each cylinder independently (very important on KTM and V-twins in general) and the ability to adjust timing. With fuel and ignition adjustment you can also raise the rev limiter if desired.
