Power commander toggle switch

[efforex]

So i am looking at what i can use for a toggle switch any link would be helpful i also where did you guys mount them or keep them for switching since i dont have a laptop i wanted to load two maps one for commuting and one for hitting the canyon

Marthy which is the best commuting map

I got a on/off water proof switch form West Marine... you know the one with the rubber booth over it. Worked fine. I put mine right in the middle of the plastic under the dash.

As for Touring map Touring RevB is fine but some people liked the Touring RevC or D. So you can load map1 Advgear RevB and Touring RevB. That's how I got mine set up right now. Different maps but same layout.

Dont mean to hijack the thread but since we are talking about PCV:

Does the power light on PCV light up only when the USB is connected? or should it also light up as soon as you start up the bike or turn the key to the On position?

Also, do we need to manually enable the Startup Fuel feature? I don't recall any posts stating that you have to do this during the initial setup.

Can't remember... and it's under the seat. I'll check next time the seat is off. But I think it should be on when the bike run. As far as start up I won't bother with it. I tried and didn't do anything really.

Thank you - I was able to read the RPM readings through the PCV software - I assume this is a good check to confirm that the speed sensor wire is connected properly, along with the other connections?

If you can't jack up the rear wheel you can always take your laptop for a ride...lol

lol - only if folks at Dynojet can now come up with an app for android/iphone....i would love to see that one day

I am also thinking about getting the Power Commander LCD-200 Unit... does anyone here have one already? According to the PC website, it allows you to see gear position. If that's true, then this certainly seems like a better investment than getting a gear indicator....unless i am reading it wrong?

If I had to redo it again I will get one. For $40.00 you can download the software and the LCD is a data logger at the same time. If you can do it right that thing is better than a Dyno tune. There a member on the FZ1 Forum site that is the man! He used it to tune his bike. He convince me to get the PLX map sensor and that fix few issue I had, just never been able to pull the extra $$$ to get the LCD.

gotcha - LCD isnt a bad option once you get past the price tag. It also allows you to save multiple maps in the on-board memory or a SD card and switch them on the fly - thus eliminating the need for a switch really..

And kind of useless without the Wideband or autotune...

is the touring map better on mpg? or what. im running advgear revb and averaging about 45mpg on fuelly.

It's about right. 44-47 MPG were my numbers back then. Touring map should be a bit better. I use Advgear map and Touring map with the map switch. On advgear I get 38-42, and 45-50 depending how I ride on freeway.

Why not just tap into the speed sensor wire? Isnt that how we can run one map and have it different tunes for 1-4 and 5-6?

I did. You have to in order to run marthy's maps

If you are on the freeway all the time, there is no difference because you are in top gear all the time. But running the Touring map in town make a huge difference for mpg. And when it rain its a little less aggressive.
