      @BradTheBuilderChannel  2 роки тому +2

      Vick, thanks for the comment! The answer to your question is that i am actually running the full yoshimura exhaust system tune with stock airbox. I called Dynojet and asked because there isnt tunes out yet for the 2021 model Akrapovic exhaust. They informed me that the full yoshi tune will work just fine because it is also a full system. Their customer service is outstanding and i highly recommend you give them a call with any questions. The yoshi tune works great for the mean time untill their R&D catches up to the 2021 models. Hope this helps!

    Hey do you feel like this thing smooths out the engine at all? I have a 2022 and I notice it's really herky jerky switching from on/off throttle, especially at low rpms. I've heard a lot of people attribute this to a fueling issue. I was hoping something like a power commander would address this.

    • @BradTheBuilderChannel

      @BradTheBuilderChannel  2 роки тому +1

      They updated the power commander to 6 now. nothing really changed though. I personally do not think it's worth it. You need a separate 02 sensor port tig welded on your exhaust system to use it. In my opinion, it's not worth the cost for the gain you would receive.

    NIce vid. I have same bike with an Akra. Contemplating the power commander. My only concern is all of the electrical connectors... I hate those things but U make it look easy. Quick question, I have a sound heard best in 4th at about 4k rpm. It almost sounds like an air / exhaust leak (fluttering/fluffing sound). I've checked and don't have one. Can't hear it in the higher revs, probably due to the sound of the Akra. Just trying to figure out if this is a normal sound. I almost feel like it showed up after baffle removal or 1st oil change. Any chance you have a similar sound?

    • @BradTheBuilderChannel
      @BradTheBuilderChannel  2 роки тому

      Jonesy thanks for visiting the channel! Honestly either the flash or the power commander are great options. Akra has yet to put out the akra specific tune out yet but was instructed by dyno jet who makes the power commander to use the yoshimura tune which works fine still. If you want more flexibility with the tune get a flash otherwise get the power commander. Both good options. Its is a lot of work to put it in but once it's in it's in. I like the option to return to stock if needed and that's why I chose the power commander. To some people that doesn't matter but it did to me.

    Not sure if you were asked this but why power commander and not ecu flash? Seems everyone has an opinion on this. Just wondering what your reasons were. Love the channel and how you describe things in detail for a newbe like me.

    • @BradTheBuilderChannel
      @BradTheBuilderChannel  2 роки тому +2

      I’ve been asked so many times haha. Should probably make a video on why. An ECU flash is also a great option. You will have more tuning options with an ECU flash. With the flash you will have to uninstall your ECU and send it in to flash unless you have your own flasher which is $400. Then you wait for it to come back. If you install a new mod such as an K&N air filter you will have to take the ECU off again and send it in to get reflashed. With the powercommander it’s a piggy back system than can be taken on and off to return to stock if you want. Makes troubleshooting issues if they arise much easier. I can also download new fuel maps in a matter of minutes versus having to send it in. I can also fine tune fuel adjustments if necessary. Dyno jet who makes the power commander also has great customer service and have always answered my questions. They both have their benefits but I like the option of taking it off to return to the stock setup. Once your ECU is flashed you will need to know all the factory settings in order to reverse it back to stock.

      Your bike will not run as lean from factory. Long term damage is possible but not likely it will affect the bike tremendously. I currently have the same exact bike as brad, color and everything. I have a “Amazon special” exhaust on and don’t have it tuned. Low end power went down a decent amount but the sound is amazing. I plan to get a power commander just mainly for the bike to run as lean as possible but it is NOT needed.

    Hey man, I have a powercommander 3 that I put on my 2007 gsxr 1000 when I got it new (also full Ti M4 GP-style exhaust, & BMC race air filter).
    I can only use the 3 button manual adjuster, never adjusted them high, but modest. All of a sudden it seems to cause the injectors to tap loudly when first starting. I tune the 3 buttons down to zero/middle, and it seems to go away. Anybidea what causes this after 16 years? (I also just changed oil, coolant, & plugs). Subbed!

      I also drained some oil out, even though it was fine according to the manual (check while warm). I went back to the way I always checked it (cold) for the last 15 years.
      Now it seems to be OK, even though the ticking didn't really sound metallic. It may have been because of the acoustics of the titanium, idk.
      I hate vehicle noises, and I'm not the only one. I read dozens of comments about others being paranoid about every little sound as well, lol. The bike only has 8k miles on it, so I doubt it's something more serious internally.

    they said that the one I have is for the mt07 years 18-20. mine is a 2021, and they said that the ECU changed for.the 2021 mt07, and thats why they redesigned it so it can talk to the ECU the way it should.
    now, I noticed this when I tried to add their tune on the website for a 2021 full exhaust and I got an error message. I then tried the map.tune for the 2020, amd it took it. not sure what to do.

      Here are your options:

      OPTION 2 Remove the powercommander and run it with no tune IF and ONLY if it has the Akrapovic full carbon racing line exhaust because both the revzilla website and Akrapovic.com / and their rep said you can run with no tune. ( I would get another powercommander or flash tune the bike asap though)
      OPTION 3 remove the powercommander and flash tune the bikes ECU. There is a few companies out there that do it. It is also a cheaper option and some people say it’s better than the powercommander even.
      I hope this helps but either way that old unit has to go. I wouldn’t risk it running as is if it’s communicating wrong to the ECU.
