Power Commander discount

[scorpio]

Hi guys,

Have you seen the news on dynojet.co.uk. They have discount on Power Commander for Pegaso 2007 model and free dyno set-up.
Lucky UK bikers :)

Bugger, mines 2006 :(.

Bugger, mines 2006 :(.

Just spoken to Dynojet the offer is in fact for the 2006 bike without the oxygen sensor fitted, as yet the 2007 bike is still a problem

So Petrolhead looks like your lucky day

Prices are

Free mapping, normally £150.00
25% discount on Power Commander

Fantastic, I'll give 'em a call.

[PetrolHead]

Double Bugger... hopes dashed again, made a call to book and its actually bikes with the '07 with the sensor that they need, to enable them to overcome their problems.

[MilesB]

Just checked the website... Dynojet are in Preston :pissed::crybaby:
Hardly a daytrip.

[Pete M]

Well it would appear that Dynojet are giving us the run around

Told me that my bike was unsuitable because the oxygen sensor is causing them problems

Yet told Petrolhead just the opposite

Oh well I suppose nothings free anymore

I`ve fitted my 07 Factory with the 06 Power Commander and it works. You just have to disconnect the oxygen sensor. The maps arn`t quite right so, my bike is going on the Dyno today for a custom map.

[dazzawra]

I`ve just picked up my Pegaso Factory after being dynoed and custom mapped. Wow what a difference.

Absolutley no surging at all and smooth power everywhere (and less popping). I`m running a Power Commander with the 02 sensor disconnected, Leo Vinci SBK Evo II cans with the baffles removed and a DNA air filter.

Aprilia claim 48hp which is probably at the crank, mike bike has just been dynoed at 47.3bph at the back wheel. The graphs show the fuelling from Aprilia is terrible, but its great now.....result:cheers:

Not that I doubted you but just this second tried disconnecting the 02 sensor on my 07 factory and you are correct, no FI light, in fact it seems to run better without it

Who mapped it for you ?

Any chance of me trying your map ?

It doesn't make sense that the FI light wont come on when the sensor is disconnected this makes me wonder if the ECU is really using it (O2 sensor)
anyway it is good for us, less work when installing PC3

Bike definitely runs differently with it disconnected so I assume it plays some part in the mapping

As you say, all the better for us

Bike going in for first sevice on Monday, as soon as that's done Power Commander here I come

Your a bit up the swanny here methinks with your 'hardly a day trip'! & while I'm a few miles up the M1 from your area it's a 210 miles trip for me & with stops, a four hour journey. Okay going up but the return didn't go as predicted. Started on the M6 for a brief spell then police turn everyone off due to an accident, where I am apart from in the UK, I've no idea.

Eventually I get to Derby & the M1 & arrive back home at 7.30pm after a 4.00am start with a total of 575 miles clocked up so Miles it is posssible to make it in a day, give it a whirl! Best of British.

Good effort Dave... Happy with the PCIII?

Short answer, Yes I was. There was less popping & a much smoother transition across the rev range. No major overall gain in bhp or speed but a more tractable engine. [This Strada was the one used to get a map for the Yam engine fitted to the Pegaso] The dash's logged speed showed 118 after the PC111 set up with their in-house dyno equipment.

The recall sensor change ruined it & don't ask me why. After the change was done & from around 2600 rpm at times though usually 2800 to a shade over 3000 rpm it could run rough. A flat area. Above 3000 rpm all was fine. Some days the engine seemed to run better at the lower revs & other days!!!


When the sensor was being changed there seemed to be some concern from the mechanics though I was told a case of just getting the Axone into play. Asked to see how it goes & bring it back for a CO2 check. Came back for that but no CO2 check, a lot of dyno runs trying to cure the flat spot. It didn't, though the bhp went to 44.

Dealer reckon it was the PC causing the problem & I removed this & initially it seemed somewhat different but maybe just caught the engine on a few good days & me adapting without the PC onboard. At the moment I have had engine stalls, tick over revs can drop to just slightly above 1000 & sounds like it's going to cut out. [Revs usually 14-1500 rpm] Hot starts, at times sounds like a flat battery & several chunks to get it running again. This comes & goes as well.

Being continually brutal with the engine so your using the mid - high revs it's a different bike. Limiter is just set at 6500 rpm which is more than adequate for most of my driving though at the Club Aprilia ride out this year I should have raised it to 7000 to pace the majority of 1000cc Aprilia's that were there but even so for a single I think it held it's own.

How do you change the limiter setting?

Last week i was on 3 day trip around Macedonia (traditional international Independence Day rally) and I had the chance to open the throttle, but the rev indicator didn't show more then 6000 rpm. Top speed was 160Km/h while i was driving uphill with 20Kg luggage.

Hi Scorpio

Aprilia Maintence book Page 18 [UK English instructions] under Gear Shift Thresholds. All straight forward stuff. I had mine set at 6000 rpm for a long time & more than adequate & I'm not a slow coach even if I'm a 'vic meldrew' old age pensioner.

I think maybe the limiter lets you go slightly past the set figure but when it does cut in you know it & usually just when your'd like a wee bit more before the up change. I never bother going to into the red band as it's somewhat pointless, the best torque will not be there & a lot to be said for short shifting through the gear box.

20kg of luggage, gee whizz I've no idea what that's like but try a down hill run as opposed to an uphill slog.

You can adjust what RPM the shift light starts flashing, the rev limiter is fixed though (- at 7250rpm I think?).
