ibeat vs dynojet pc5

The first thing I would do is send a PM/email to Scotty and be sure your bike does not need a re-flashing of the ecu.

After that, you should somehow be able to get access to a iBeat because that will probably be eventually needed to diagnose issues in the distant future, and you can do some basic tuning with it.

Then would come the PC V with autotune, which really would be the only thing that would need to be installed on your bike long term.

Yes the 2.2 kohm resistor stays on the bike when using a PC V. With the auto tune the exhaust plug where the O2 sensor was will need to be removed, and the dynojet supplied Lambda sensor would be screwed in.

I'm not sure if I can improve on my previous post for clarity.

Some of the 2008 bikes can be improved with an ecu re-flash. The vin # would determine that. Scott Rocher in Ontario can tell you if your could be improved, and if yes, you could mail your ecu to him.

You presumably have a car or truck. That will eventually need a OBDC code reader of some type, either OBDC I or II. That is one of the important things the iBeat does, reads codes - in addition to some other things that the PC V cannot do. It also has some adjustments that affect tuning, but I do not recall if those adjustments are for open loop mode like you are using.

Then the PC V can adjust fuel mapping based on throttle position and rpm - that is something the iBeat cannot do, at least for the 2008 bikes.


It's a little complicated....

Hopefully someone else can word what I am trying to say even better.
