want more power.
ok so i have a 929rr and have some ?
when the bike isrunning the powercomander does not light up. is it supost to?
i cant feel the diff. with iton or off the bike.
can i take off the exhaustservo valve?will it help? what will the bike do?
can i take off the big plastic valve in the air box? willi get better flow? what will the bike do?
to help withyour answer the bike has: k&n filter,half back yoshimura trs carbon exhaust, pc3 usb,and q/a chain sprocket kit. thankyou--mike

 

yes your pc should light up when the bike is turned on
you can take off the exhaust valve but unless you take the hole thing out and replace with new pipe i don't really see the point

 

if ur really that worried about power, get rid of the k&n after reading many articles on the topic, its been proven to lose at least 1 to 2 hp everytime on the dyno... o and get a full exhaust, not just a can.

 

You may also get a HASS Eliminator.and replace your HTEV valve with it.

 

The PC should be lit up, since its not, you have a bad connection...probably the ground...

get a mid-pipe to go in place of the exup pipe...

Get rid of the K&N and put a BMC filter in...

 

Wait a minute wait a minute...

I don't consider myself an authority by any means, but I've always heard the K&N filter, a, "high-flow" filter, increases horsepower?

When did this happen? I've always bought K&N filters... for everything. You tellin' me I'm a sheep?

K&N is **** compared to the BMC Race Filters

 

i have read a number of diff articals that says the k&n on a 929 you lose power

 

Hey guys, thanks for the info. well for sure the first thing im getting aBMC filter. And i think im going to send a letter to K&N about that. and my Powercomcander was a bad ground. its always the small stuff you over-look. im going to look into the hass block too. i was told that if i take off the valve the bike will be crappy on the low-end and choppy is this true?

 

kidcrnshaw,
Yep, sheep! lol. The stock air filter or the bmc street or race will allow more cubic volume of air. I tried all three in my old 929 and the stock was seocnd best to the bmc.

In reply to the original poster. What they said about the HTEV is correct but only if you do the mid pipe. In regards to the loss of power, that's not entirely true, but it has to be in combination with other upgrades/improvements or tuning. As far as the flapper mod, remove the direction pillions around it too. You can also consider superflare velocity stacks. I had them in my 929 and they were an exceptional improvement. Running a base map on the pc3 will not take full advantage of tuning. Having it custom tuned is where you will be able to take advantage of the incremental rpms and a/f with "optimal" performance in mind.

Have fun!
