Rocker arm bag look tiats on yours....oh wait u need to go get milk once in awhile:P Cheers.

 

Hello. I would like some feedback on installing a "Power Commander" that my shop said my 2010 Lo needs to stop running "lean", since the V&H pipes and K&N filter changes. Does anyone know about the features and benefits of a Power Commander on a 96 cu bike? They said it would make the bike run stronger and cooler by 25-30 degrees. Thanks.

 

Order one from fuelmoto. Give them your specs such as pipes and air cleaner and they will preload a fuel map for you. You should notice some performance gain and cooler temps.

 

If you are really interested in cooler temps sir I can reccomend looking up info on Jason Wards fans here on the forums. I made a move from KC back to west Texas and engine temps were a big concern of mine. I now have a set on my Lo and couldn't be happier. He has thread full of very helpful info and testamonials. Check it out.

 

So..yeah.. I don't know your knowledge of engines and tuning and everything, so if this sounds rudes, my bad. There's essentially 3 parts to the power factor of your engine. Intake, Exhaust, and Fuel. When you put on an exhaust system, you increase the exhaust, when you put on an air cleaner, you increase the intake. For your engine to balance out, you also need to increase the fuel, else your engine is going to act dehydrated and choke a bit. Hense, "lean". So that's what the fuel tuner does, it tells the computer to spit more fuel in to the motor and balance it all back out.

I also have a Power Commander V, and when my bike was a 96", a proper tune with the PCV really changed the entire feel of the bike. It was quiet amazing, really. So yes, tuning your engine will make the bike run stronger.

As far as cooling the engine down.. I dont know whether the PCV will do that, especially 20-30*. If anything I'd try an oil cooler for that.

 

I'd second you on all that info Jim. Nice and easy way of summing it up. I think the reason the dealor is suggesting switching to a tuner and running a richer tune to cool the engine is because fuel will act as a cooling agent. The Harley tunes run lean to comply with the government's emission regulations. Running a richer tune will cool the engine but not by 20-30 degrees.
Again for anyone interested check out the following:

I bought one of Jason's systems and couldn't be happier. I don't have a tuner yet so I can't provide you with exact precise results but the tests I have done with a thermal gun back up the info found on that thread. If you live where it gets hot in the summer its at least worth a look at.

 

Nice set up I like the style

 

Love the lights too.
