I believe my bike has a Power Commander II (never seen it yet); how easy would this be to remove and sell? Would the bike run OK, assuming I put the standard exhausts back on?

I think it takes about 10mins to remove.

Can't see why it won't run without it unless you've made a lot of changes. Most aftermarket exhausts are OK on the standard chip (with wire snip).

Mine was a bit of a pig when I went to the 2 into 1 setup until I loaded a suitable map into the PCIII but for most setups, no problem.

Lift the tank and remove the saddle

Disconnect power feeds and then follow leads and disconnect / reconnect

What else has your bike had done? That will dictate any possible running problems...

No need to lift the tank TBH.

Unplug the connectors to the injectors and reconnect without the PCIII connections in between. Unclip the other wire that clips into one of the wires in the wiring harness and re-insulate where it had cut the insulation.
Remove the PCIII unit from where it was sitting - probably under the rider's seat, maybe under the passenger's seat or, like mine, sitting on top of the ECU.

I just found it easier to work and see the leads that way....

OK .... though I'd have to revise my 10 mins if I was going to get the tank back down again ... right PITA that is now ...

Why would you want to remove it.
This will help make things really smooth with sorting your fuelling

Thanks guys; I'm assuming it's worth selling? I'm putting the bike back to standard.

Not really, you'll be lucky to get £20 for it.

Go on then, I'll give you 20...

I'm sure the vultures will be circling with a more reasonable offer

Probably not quite as desirable as a PCIII or PCIII-USB but I think the PCII is still useful.
I know that you can hook up a PCIII to your computer with a serial port to USB adapter - I guess it likely that you can do the same with the PCII. Obviously the PCIII-USB comes with a USB port as standard.

Here's how Dynojet describe the differences: http://www.dynojet.co.uk/powercommander/versions.htm

Serial to USB adapters are about 10-20 quid IIRC

last pc3 that passed through my hands - a none USB model - went for under 100

a usb version is worth 125 plus second hand imho

a pc2... no idea - 50 to 75 quid??

Id be interested if its for sale

Probably take less than a minute to remove if you give it away wouldn't like to see the state of your bike after though

Sorry, I've found the original receipt for £350 to supply and fit - it's a PC3. Will have a look to see if I can find it on the bike
