I had a PC5 installed today, this am. I made sure before I went to get it installed I took a 40 mile ride. I did this in town because I was told the PC5 primarily helps on low end acceleration. After the install I of course took the same ride. Here are my thoughts.
1st before install I felt bike took to long to accelerate under 4000 rpm after its a totally different story.
2nd after install the bike was smooth, faster, and more powerful under 4000rpm
3rd in gears 1 thru 4 more power on low end under 4000 rpm
4th under 4000 rpm different bike more sport bike less tourer
5th in 5th gear no change I could tell
6th after 4000 rpm no real difference at all.
7th at higher speeds(80 plus) no real change.
My take is if you want more low end power in the sense of soother faster acceleration buy a PC5. I think this is worth the money ( cost me 269 delivered). I doubt it really added any horse power to the bike I think just by changing the fuel mixture it got more performance out of the bike.
Oh I had my mechanic install it took him less then an hour about 65 dollars to install. If you doubt its worth the money buy one from a place you can return it have in installed take a ride and return it if you think its not worth it. Oh I have 2010 FJR1300. Also no F1 or engine light so far after install so I guess computer does not know its even their and yes O2 sensor was disconnected.
