Dynojet now provides a patch that enables Power Commander V [PCV] to work with 2000-2001 5th gen VFRs! It's true! At least Dynojet says it's true. Dynojet is the company that manufactures Power Commander and has provided the file along with instructions for downloading it to a PCV. We haven't put it to the test yet, but are eagerly looking forward to doing so.

 

Thanks to VFRD member Rob916 for poking us with a stick about this topic and getting us to post this info.

 

Last week Jozef helped connect us with Dusty Schaller at Dynojet [Some might recall that Jozef is the dyno tech at Attack Performance where we did all the dyno testing/tuning of the new performance headers]. Dusty is the product manager of Power Commander and sent the attached file along with these instructions:

"You need to update the PCV to this datafile [the file attached below].  The only way to do this currently is with Power Core software using Dyno control.  Open Dyno control and go to Support – Send data file.

To get Power core go here - https://www.dynojet.com/downloads/power-vision-3/  Scroll down to Software"

Here is the file:

If anyone gets a chance to try this before we run it on our 2001 5 gen test bike, please post your procedure and results here as soon as possible.

Installed 14 Honda Interceptor VFR 800 Exhaust Header Pipes and gutted cat converter, installed KandN filter. Bike was not running well and had pops on decell after these upgrades/modifications.  Installed PCV and autotune to resolve the issue and gain the benfits of the upgrades. Ran into problems with Power Commander 5 with Auto Tune on my 2001 VFR 800 while building custom map. Issue I could not resolve erradic power declines in certain rpms and not smooth delivery of power at some points on my custom map. After stumbling on this thread I decided to use the datafile provided all my issues were resolved immediately after I flashed the PCV datafile!!! Bike pulls from the lower RPMS all the way up to redline. Feels like I got Brand New Bike. No pops on decelleration at all. Map I built was targeting 13.8 AFR.  Thank you.
