tmausti Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I have a VFR1200f with a highmount Akrapovic applied. I want to have the fueling right. When is a powercommander available ? I contacted Powercommander last week. They told me they were working through proprietary discussions with Honda on the development of the connectors and were in the process of developing the unit. He estimated 6 months or so before it will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I hope they come up with a solution for throttle mapping so we can get the damn butterflys to open in the first 2 gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the Aprilia Milles came out and you could get your dealer to install a new chip that upped the performance same as the European versions had. It's just a matter of time before the potential of the 1200 is fully uncorked. Aftermarket can, K&N, unrestricted electronics. It'll be fun to hear the reports as they come in.

Throttlestop Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Don't hold your breath. Aprilia RSV4 owners are still waiting on Dynojet's PC V, more than 18 months since that bike's first introduction. BPD has since stepped up to the plate with their all-in-one fuelling, quickshifter and traction control controller, with on-the-fly adjustments via two switches mounted on the handlebar: <BR><BR><A href="http://www.bazzaz.net/bz1/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=38&Itemid=181">http://www.bazzaz.net/bz1/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=38&Itemid=181</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have a VFR1200f with a highmount Akrapovic applied. I want to have the fueling right. When is a powercommander available ? How does your VFR run with the AK pipe and stock EFI? That's the pipe I'm thinking about getting. Any installation issues? Thanks. Ride safe.

How does your VFR run with the AK pipe and stock EFI? That's the pipe I'm thinking about getting. Any installation issues? Thanks. Ride safe. Installation is simple. Akra supplies very good instruction documentation. Quality is very good The exhausts fits very easy. Riding is much smoother. Espesialy in the 3000 -4000 rpm region.

Talked to DynoJet sales rep in the US and he states that they have a new VFR in the back room but no date for release as yet. I called Fuel Moto, a big Power Commander reseller, who states that DynoJet tells them that is is scheduled for release on July 16th. Hope that is true but won't hold my breath!

Looks like some vendors are selling the PC-V for the 1200 online now. I've contacted one of the vendors to see if they are just taking pre-orders, with no real delivery date in sight. They said they are in fact pre-orders, but they are expecting units on their shelves by the end of the month! :fing02: EDIT: Still no PCV in sight. Apparently Fuel Moto was blowing smoke up my ass when they told me they were in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Did the AK fit directly to the end of the header pipe? Did the hardware/fasteners come with from AK? Did the stock flapper cable attach? How is the sound? Performance? I have a VFR1200f with a highmount Akrapovic applied. I want to have the fueling right. When is a powercommander available ?

Yes the Akra fitted very easy on the stock header pipe. All fitting stuff is with tthe akra. Sound is on the loud side when db killer is removed. With the db killer fitted the sound is OK. Performance increase is best notticed when db killer is removed. The torque dip between 3000 and 4 K rpm is gone. But also acceleration in the higher rpm zone is smoother. With the db killer present the torque low down is still better then stock but the dip is still there but smaller.

warrenjrose Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I've been in contact with DynoJet as well, offered them my bike for R&D if needed... I was told that the sub-connector for the VFR1200's throttle bodies is new and apparently proprietary to Honda. Until they figure out how they're gonna deal with it, things aren't progressing very quickly. I would guess that Honda made some "new" bits for their Throttle-By-Wire system.

Jussi Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi, I was searching for VFR1200 gears from a local webshop here in Finland. This popped up PC-V VFR1200 They didn't have any in stock but they had a price for it (385 Euros). I tried to find more details with the code KNN-16-020 but could find anything. -J- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
