Congrats on the TB exhaust can't wait to see the video.
This might be a stupid question to some of you, but what is a PCV and what does it do?
That's one mod that I will stay away from. I'm sure I would end up making my FZ6R run like a scooter!:surrender:I'll leave this kind of mod to you younger more technical riders.:bow:Here is a link. In short, it allows the user to program the fuel maps and ECU for optimum air/fuel ratios to obtain the best possible performance.
Power Commander V, Power Comander 5, Powercommander
The mechanic at the dealer ship said that the Power Commander V has no maps for the TBR exhaust and has no plans of making any......any time soon!
Your dealership is full of retards!
You will be fine to run just the exhaust. And you could also install the PCV at the same time and be fine as well. The PCV comes with the stock map in place, so nothing will be changed. Once TBR comes out with custom maps (call to verify if they have any), or you decide to have the bike dyno-tuned, it will already be installed and ready to go.
I don't like to take the word from the dealership when it comes to afx parts. I have encountered more often than not, that they usually don't know enough about them to be complete informed. That's just my honest opinion.
I called the tech at PCV in Vegas and he said that the reason they don't have any maps other than stock for the FZ6R is because they haven't had anyone bring a bike by to get dyno'd. Once that happens, they will post the map for whatever configuration the bike had. When I asked (ymmv) he said if you bring your bike in and they don't have a map for it, they will dyno and map it for free. I would call to make about that before hand
