Power commander question?
Sloan85 - 24/5/13 at 09:03 PM

I've bought a power commander III for my GSXR 1000 K1 off eBay but it appears to be an old type with a serial plug, not USB.

Anyone using this older sort? Its got a couple of extra plugs (white ones) on the harness that I don't recognise. Where would these plug into?


Will this work with a serial to usb adapter from eBay. not sure whether to return and wait for a usb one.

Cheers

USB to serial works fine - you need to download the power commander 3 software from their website.

Also, don't try and upload any map files - they need to be a certain version because the USB and the Serial PC3 uses a different language which are not compatible.

I've got a name and number for the tech support guy at power commander who was REALLY helpful and knows his s**t if you need it

is it a IIIr??

they look like ignition loop connectors for advancing the ignition timing that came on the R series..

I use a serial PC3, and mine has two red connectors just like those. They connect inline with the brake light wiring as the power source for the PC3.

that's not a K1 /K2 power commander, i have one and it just has the 2 plugs and an earth. whats the part number on the side you need to google it and see whats its for.

it should be 307-410 or 307-411, 308-411,309-411

Well, after a closer inspection, it appears the thing I have bought is a Power Commander IIIr. Any idea that the "r" means?

The number on the sticker is 307-310. A quick google of that suggests that this is for a GSXR 600 K1-2 but the extra plugs are for ignition adjustment. What is this? Do I need to use this?

Cheers

What does that mean?

I would phone dynojet up on Tuesday, they will tell you what you have and what you can do with it.

doobrychat - 26/5/13 at 08:30 AM

its means you can adjust the timing to advance the firing point of each spark plug..

the 2 white connectors are a loop and go inline of the crank sensor..
