They told me to ride it like I hate it yesterday and it went great..

I think it might be that I told it I'll trade it in on a superduke if it doesn't behave

trade up for a 2009 z1000, rumour mill is thats its a ZX10R engine next year..

What & have the frame turn itself inside out that I would want to see

So Tanya amy more thoughts about what to do with the cursed one?

Hey there...

ME TOO !! ME TOO !!... it's a love/hate relationship now

I've come to the conclusion she's temperamental, hates being left in the shed for more than a day and loves to be ridden hard.

LMAO ive heard that before!!

He's behaving.. and I still get such a big kick out of the bloody thing Not only riding it, but the attention it gets

It's going to Midtown to have a thorough going over, they are going to plug it in and look for an error code that will hopefully tell them why it stopped. I've also been told the power commander might have dropped it's map.. so I'll be getting it dynorun to check it. Physically, the green belly pan is at the panel beaters, it has the black one on now so he still looks hot

And they decided to give the apprentice only a warning. so I'm happy about that

But the sad thing is I think I'll have to sell it My hip is so bad I simply can't ride it without suffering and having to pull out of rides I'm going to have to consider something smaller and lighter with a narrower tank

Swap you an ER-6

damm and I was holding out for $60 posted


I got told about http://www.ktm.co.uk/990-Super-Duke-R.1 ... da62385a81 this today.... *drool*

Work said they were going to get one in.. I reckon they will so I buy it.. it has more legroom, smaller tank, great brakes, lighter.. just a tad high though And it looks goddam horn!

Hmmmm - starts with a K - but not green Not another one to the "Dark Side"
Ohh - $60 posted - and I'll throw in the ER-6

heyy cmon im giving u a bargain here!! $60 plus my suzuki!!!

oh well ill keep it then

tanya, you work at powercommander yes?

quick question..

07/08 z1000, i've heard that euro spec Zeds of that year can't get the PC3 to fully reprogram the ECU without getting an extra powercomander product called the 02 eliminator.. apparently PC3 doesn't work in the rev range below 3000rpm at all without one, and even then there is an issue with effected revs above 3000rpm with some sort of error..

now the US guys that have installed PC3's say thats rubbish and only Euro spec models are effected (well uneffected really) by the gains had by a PC3..

So... does it work the the Aus spec Zeds? or do we need the 02 eliminator also? and what is an 02 eliminator?

thanks!

I don't work for the aussie distributor anymore, but I did, yes.

Firstly, Power commanders don't actually reprogram your ECU. they're an add on, like an exhaust, it just tells the ecu to give different amounts of fuel.. you take it off and the ecu will just put back through the normal amount of fuel.

A properly programmed Power commander will affect your bike the whole time it is running, never mind the revs

Aussie bikes are Euro specs and If power commander tell you to fit an o2 sensor eliminator(they do, I checked), do it. they're cheap. I'm not sure exactly what they do (i know roughly), but they know a lot more than some crazy yanks who obviously don't know shit, I'd go by what they say.

Those yanks seriously need to lay off the drugs.. I have before and after maps of my bike before/after it was fitted and mapped and the difference it makes in how the bike runs and power output is quite noticable.

BTW If you buy one from O/S there will be absolutely no warranty on your PC3.


Is that info worth $60 posted? (and i don't want the suzuki or the er6 )
