68mustang Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Does anyone have all the power commander 3 maps for a 98-01 VFR800? Powercommander no longer has them and the downloads section doesn't seem to be working. I'm specifically interested in the Staintune and stock filter maps. Thanks.

checksix Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm not sure if these are what you're looking for. I downloaded them from the powercommander website a few years back. maps.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I found a site where the guy archived the problem files including the Staintune: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stu.tyrrell/PowerCommanderMaps.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68mustang Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Knight, thanks for that! at least I get the Staintune map. :) Powercommander seems to have lost all their maps that are listed on the site for the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68mustang Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well I spoke too soon. If I pull those up in the power commander 3 usb software it's all blank blocks. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other ideas? If you did "OPEN" on a PCII file, it would result in blanks. Select IMPORT and select the same file. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68mustang Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 I tried to import and it didn't work. I figured maybe these were PCII maps but it doesn't seem to work in PCIII USB software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wera803 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Looking at this a little closer, the maps that end in .map are PCii maps. The ones that end in .djm are PCiii maps. I don't see a PCiii map for Staintunes, only a PCii map. I have all of the PCii and PCiii maps (I've had both and kept copies). I also have a couple of custom ones that I have made (not on a dyno though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68mustang Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 wera I got that confirmation from Dynojet as well. I also go that the PC2 maps aren't interchangeable with the PC3 maps :/ That sucks but I guess I'll just run one of the ones meant for the PC3.

Member Contributer hotshoerob Posted May 13, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have this one that I downloaded from this site a few years ago. Works great for me. For PC3 staintune_european.djm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68mustang Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 So funny story, bought a PC3 used off ebay for a V-tec model, slapped it on and the bike ran perfectly fine with the V-tec map on it. I'll have to get back and see what it was, but it was a European spec map for an 06 model. Slapped the Staintune map on. It runs alright, but I might try swapping back and seeing how it responds.

Knight Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 After having a similar experience my impression is that fixing the egregious lean areas on this bike takes us 90% of the way there. On another bike it may mean fixing an egregious rich condition. But I do think too many people mistakenly make fuel control out to be rocket science.

Member Contributer interceptor69 Posted October 22, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted October 22, 2016 I bought a PC II (truly a relic) right after I bought my '98 VFR and downloaded a pretty good map (have a Titanium Vance & Hines pipe and a K & N air filter) and it ran much better but I found a map close to my bike's parts and downloaded it and the bike wouldn't even start. I took the PC off and intended to go back and download the "old" map that worked but just didn't do it and lost now I've lost the connector that hooks the PC to the computer for downloading. I have 2 questions: Is it worth keeping this old PC and try to find a proper map or Should I buy a newer version of the PC? I'd appreciate any help.

Cable is no big deal. Just a USB to mini USB. Maps are still out there. I have copies of all of the PCII and PCIII maps that were on DynoJet's website at one time. If you can't find them, send me a PM with your email address and I will send them to you. I'd say at least give it a try before spending money on something else.....unless you have money to burn.

wera803 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Pretty sure he needs USB to RS232 Serial? You are probably right. I have a PCIII on the VFR and PCV on my GSX-S, so it has been a while since I looked at a PCII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVFR Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 My take FWIW, yea great you got a 5th gen pc3 map, thing is it's still generic, if you want to take advantage of what the PC3 can do and does, hit up a dyno. just saying ;) enjoy.

So does spending the money on Dyno time really net you a drastically better bike then the more generic maps that are out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
