I spent a couple of hours removing the Power Commander III that was on my 99 S3 when I bought it. It runs so much better now. Why would anyone put one of these on? The seller included the receipt, he paid $350 for it and another $350 for labor and dyno tuning, and it ran like crap. |

PC / V&H have Marketing Appeal and have (or used to have) a quality name behind them. Yet another lesson in caveat emptor... |

Why did it take a couple of hours? I'm getting an X-1 that has one on it and will probably take it off as well. Just trying to get an idea of what is involved. thanks |

Old style Power Commander--probably PC 2, not 3. They were OK if tuned right(had to leave learned fuel areas alone).Terry did alot back in the days before ECM-Spy, but nowhere as nice as PC 3 and new PC 5. Though they have none of these for Buells. |

Safd, Same as Goldtooth said. I had to take off the seat, seat cowling, and prop up the tank, then go buy a one wire O2 sensor. Undoing the connections just takes a few minutes. |
