- Here's a how to on how to install a Power Commander 5 (AKA PCV) on a Husqvarna 701. This applied to all model years and will also apply to the 690 SMCR (not sure on start year but definitely from 2014 onward).

Thanks again for this one, this is on my wish list. 👍
Check out Dave Wood Racing mate. They can remap the ECU so you don't need to fit a power commander. They're probably closer to you with you being dorn sawf.
@@Twedymoto Oh cool thanks, I will do this summer, next is that clutch slave still to do 1st 😄
Thanks for this vid.
No worries!
Good man Twedy!! Great to see how many subscribers you have and see the channel grow!! Fully deserved and hopefully you grow as big as the big boys like lamb chop, etc
Getting my 2020 superduke R in a few days! 😁
Thanks very much mate! Little bit jelly of the Superduke, they look like absolute weapons haha
@@Twedymoto yeah its awesome, great run yesterday with my mate on his aprilia tuono factory.
I've got akrapovic, pc5, rally raid cam on 690 + quickshifter is hella fun, you need qck shifter man! Its like automatic if bike never was a car
I have toyed with the idea of getting a quick shifter but having never used one i feel like i'm not missing anything haha.
@@Twedymoto hmm yeah, its like automatic transmission on car if they'd be compared 😄
Always a useful source of info. I have met Dave Wood and his yard is less than an hour's ride from me so maybe a flash is worth it. Does your SM use more/less/same fuel since adding PC?
To be honest, I've always gotten 90-100 miles before the light comes on. The most I've ever done is 120 and my bum was nipping a bit lol. Probably does use more fuel but the fun outweighs that. Never taken it on a long quiet ride either so don't know how far I could get on a full tank lol.
Loving the videos.
Where did you get the handlebar pad?
I got it from my husky dealer but they are no longer available
Hi man, I'm planning to buy a new 701 but I have a couple of questions if you don;t mind ; from what i've read from various users the bike burns oil, does yours do? did you had it from new? did you do the factory specified break in or a hard break in with mineral oil (as other users would recomend to stop burning oil).thanks in advance
I've had mine from new. I followed the break in instructions loosely. For the first 200 miles or so I took it really easy as I came from a Honda Grom. Once I was used to it I rode it steady. Didn't rev it hard or give it death, more like a leisurely cruise and pushed it harder after 500 miles then got it serviced at 600 miles by my dealer. It did use some oil (all engines do) but it uses a lot less than it used to now that the engine is worn in fully. You will hear a few problems of it burning oil and other issues but there will be thousands out there that don't.
The only big issue on these is the clutch slave cylinder failing. Mine was fine but I fitted the Oberon one at 9,000 miles as a preventative measure. Hope this helps buddy.
@@Twedymoto thank you very much for your quick response, it stresses me a bit as it's gonna be my first brand new bike and i've heard some horror stories lol, thank you very much so, stay safe!
Did the o2 dongle come with the PC-V or did you get that from another retailer? I just installed my PC-V last night but it didn’t come with an o2 dongle, TIA
Mine did mate. I think dynojet stopped providing it for some stupid reason but without it, it defeats the object of having a power commander. If you're in the UK, you can get them cheap on ebay. 👍
Twedymoto ah yeah I just looked it up on Rottweiler, they stopped in 2018 for international regulations, but it’s an off road use item anyways🙄, thanks for the swift reply!
Great video. Why didn't you show setting up the PCV?
That is a very good question, didn't think about it until now! Very easy to do though but best to have it tuned for your bike 👍
Great vids , any new ones in the pipeline .?
Thanks pal! Yup, got a couple lined up. Should have one out this week :)
hi, as this bike can run two maps, can 1 map be the a2 license 30kw and the other map be full power ? so i could switch between the two? just curious thats all.
The A2 complaint map is loaded by a dealer (probably get a certificate or something) and probably has more than just lower fuel and retarded timing. Can imagine the throttle plate won't open as much too.
It could be possible with a power commander but it would need time on a dyno and a tuner who is willing to do it. 👍
@@Twedymoto ok, thanks for your reply. It was for 2 people to ride, 1 beginner and 1 experienced. thx
Did you mange to do this? Cheers
Which sprockets do you use/prefer?
Stock is 16/42.
I ran 15/42 for a while but on track but I was rarely out of 3rd gear so swapped to 15/44 and it's great for wheelies and smaller tracks now. Will still top out at a decent speed (117mph) but is revving higher at normal cruise speed.
@@Twedymoto About the speedo, did the speed sensor is on the rear wheel and you're able to see the real speed or is it totally wrong ? Also did the traction control work well with different sproket ?
I've got a previous bike with all the electronics KO when changing the ratio so…
Are these worth it or risky for a person like me who don’t know how to
They're worth it if you have fitted a new intake and exhaust and want to get the best performance from it with the correct map. It can help smooth the bike out too.
@@Twedymoto thank you for the reply and yeah my plan is to get one restricted to 35kw and then when i pass pretty much do everything you did to yours however I know this sounds weird but I enjoy to ride a bike with snappy throttle response because I will be riding aggressive quite often
What graphics kit?
It was a custom kit from MCN Grafix for me but it is available to buy if you contact them 👍
Worse mileage or pretty much the same ?
Maybe a little worse but I've never really gotten great milage on this. I always fill up after around 100 miles
I just installed a PCV on my 701 yesterday but haven't riden it yet due to terrible weather but prior to the installation I would get between 240 and 250 klms out of each tank.
Start making more videos
I would love to but don't have the bike any more 😭
why do you need this ??
Get the ecu flashed mate!!!!
You can't flash the ECU of the 12' and upwards 690s it's locked from the factory you have 2 options you put an aftermarket ECU or a PC5
You can flash the ECU David. Not 100% on the older 690s but there was a thing called Tune ECU that let you flash it. On the newer bikes (2017 up) the ECU can be flashed but the tuners are very few and far between. There are 2 in the UK that I know of, DWR and P3 Tuning.
At the time I fitted mine, I got it for a good price and got a deal on tuning and there was only 1 that could flash it and that was a 12 hour round trip. Now that I have the power commander, getting the ECU flashed would be another £4-500 + travel which I can't justify for the extra 1-2hp that I might get. That said, it does have a slight throttle issue which may justify the spend :D lol
I got both my 701s from dwr but they don't sell them anymore. But they will still flash the ecu, they have moved to Buckingham now if anyone is interested. Most tuners will take a power commander and throw it away if they were tuning the ecu so alot of people see the pcv as a waste of cash. But as mentioned, tuners are not all over the place! Great to see ya vid anyway twedymoto, hope ya safe and well
I know DWR have more control when flashing the ecu. I think they remove the throttle restrictions in 2nd and 3rd gear too. The main advantage is not having to install any extras, they just connect to the ecu and change the settings and map. 👍
