Power commander III vs V

[rangerdave1]

Hi all, I am new to the forum and to the FZ1 world. I recently purchased a 2007 FZ1 to replace my CBR 600 which I still have. I have been looking at mods to do and some I plan on doing are: velocity stacks, slip on, air box mod, FCE, block off plates, and power commander of course. I'm looking for the differences between PC III and PC V aside from size. The power commander website calls for a PC III for the 2007 and 2009 calls for PC V. Did something change between 2008 and 2009? Will a PC V work on a 2007?

Please help me figure this out. Thanks

Dave, from Newfoundland Canada

You can use either one but I would go with the PCV as it's newer and is physically smaller too.

:+1: PC V will work with all '06 and up FZ1s. I have one on my '06 so I speak from experience

Do I absolutely need one? I have the 2-bros slip on and I de catted the header. The bike runs great and has sh!tgobs of power already. I don't really feel any abrupt throttle response or surging that I've read about...

I don't have a laptop and my computer is hooked up upstairs in my house. How would I load the map into the unit if I did get one? Would I have to pay the extra couple hundred $$$ to get it mapped for my specific bike or is it preloaded with an appropriate map...

If you're happy don't worry about it. All that matters is that you're satisfied with the performance of your bike.

It is obvious to me that V has to be better than III.

thanks for the replies. I'll most likely get a PC V.

You can program either with the supplied external poet adapter.
