I see on here that nearly everyone talks about having or getting a PClll . I have Techlusion (Dobeck Performance) Fuel Injection TFI Control Box on mine.

My question is what so different about them besides price and am I right in thinkin once you set them up are you don't change it around alot.

I even sent this question to Roadbike mag. once never got a answer?

Hey scoot,
Ok I hope I can shed some light on this with my limited experence. Ok here is what I know that if you use like the cobra FI2000R or techlusion you only get like 3 or 4 pods to work with and that's it. You cannot dyno your bike with these units. Those units only let you do so much mapping to your ride. (example like 0 to 5 setting on each pod) Now the Power commander PCIII allows you to really fine tune/dial your motor in much more than those other units. Plus you can have your bike Dyno with a PCIII. Also you can use a laptop and watch your motor work and you can see where to make those adjustments unlike the others. thats why PCIII are much more in cost than those other units. Now granted those other units dont require mapps you just adjust each pod to do its job and you have to keep turing each pod till you have what you want and no puters are required to work with them. I hope this all makes sense and helps

I guess I'm not quite understanding the "you cannot dyno with the Cobra or Techlusion." Dynomometer tuning us just that. You bike is strapped to a Dyno and ran under a load. All three can be tuned this way. With the cheaper Techlusion, you set the first pot with the engine at around 1500-2000 under a load on the dyno and adjust for a mixture of "about" 14:1 air to fuel by having an oxygen sniffer at the mufflers. You adjust the second pot (accelerator) to provide roll on pick up response. Usually these are adjusted to eliminate the dreaded "ping". As you've stated the other two adjust the wide open and when the wide open kicks in.

I guess I was confused about not being able to "dyno". The expensive PCIII overides the ECM to a more finite level; ie, every 250 rpms can be set and fuel can be actually reduced or taken away during these periods. The other two cannot take fuel away.

A negative with the PCIII is that it overides most of the ECM's sensors so that when your bike is in higher altitude it generally will run rich if set for lower elevation. The sensors on the bikes ECM are not in play with the PCIII.

I've heard too many complaints that friends bikes when traveling long distances and crossing mountain passes at high elevation have issues with this rich condition with the PCIII.

The other two, Cobra, and Techlusion intercept signals only at the injector and allow the the stock ECM to adjust using the bikes stock sensors so that the parameters are still in play.

The PCIII does allow for downloads to various "maps" but without knowing what stages of modifications to your bike you've done, the downloads are only "guesses". If you want your bike dynoed then whoever puts the PCIII on your bike needs to strap it on the dyno and set each 250 rpm parameter by hand usually at an additional 300 bucks on top of the cost of the PCIII. There is no such thing as a custom dyno map with actually having the bike on the dyno.

I had a PCII on my old RK and it worked awesome. Unfortuneately it fell on the drive belt and got chewed up. So I went with a Doebeck TFI on it and my 05 Nomad. They work good. They adjust fuel for "RPM bands" instead of by percentage of throttle position like the PC. My old PCII had maybe 100 settings where the TFI only has 4. Just my nontech 2 cents
