EdB Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I was out at Rocky Mountain Honda pricing out a new exhaust for my bike and the parts person said that i needed to buy a power commander for an additional 400$ if i was going to run a aftermarket pipe on the bile. A lot of my friends have pipes and i don't think that they have the powr commander. Does anyone have any info on this (DAVE). Are they just trying to take me for another couple of bucks or will affect the performance of y gixxer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 A friend of mine just put on a set of Vance&Hines on his M50 and no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanJuanWorm Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 You'll be fine without a power commander. It won't run exactly the same while idling is all. That's what i found when i modded my exhaust. My gixxer has the following yoshimura pipe power commander bmc race filter took out the exhaust valve in the pipe (the one with the servos) Dyno'd 135HP at the wheels.

SanJuanWorm Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yes I did it myself. I had the bike dyno'd at walt healy though. Get yourself a rubber mallet to pound off the stock pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't have a GF through out the winter you had better get a nice snowmobile and the hustler channel. Its a LONG LONG winter up there.
