The Yamaha Road Star Warrior Forum

I love it!  The power delivery is silky smooth.  The only backfiring I had was when the bike was still cold; after it warmed up it never back fired again.  I highly recommend the PC V to anybody.  It took 5 minutes to install, just like the other guys were saying; it took longer removing the tank than installing the PC V.

I downloaded this map from this site http://rswarrior.com/files/folders/pciii_maps/entry1072985.aspx  I ran great until I got into the higher RPMS, the flat spots where so bad I felt like I was going to fall forward off the bike.  I will have to find a better map for my bike (any PC V guys want to share their maps with me that have the same mods?)

I emailed dynojet and this was the email reply:

I'm really interested in knowing more about the PC5. I've read everything on dynojet's site.

Did you have a PC3 installed prior? How much money do you have into the unit so far? You obviously have not elected to purchase/install the auto-tune feature yet. That's one of the pieces that really interests me. The thought of my 'power commander' constantly figuring out how to make my machine run at its peak, is very appealing. I don't want to take it to get a custom map every time I make a change that affects my air/fuel, or anytime I want to tune/optimize it a bit. I want a fuel/air manager that manages this stuff for me. I wonder how good it really is at accomplishing this. Maybe it's spot on perfect, or maybe it is just another method of getting the map somewhere close to a good starting point?

Those are minor problems for a Pioneer of this product on our bike.  I know you have what it takes to see it through bro!

I just loaded another map and this one rocks.  I got the dizzy/rush feeling when I slammed the throttle in 1st gear.  That's a good thing!

I'll pull the plugs when the bike cools and she what they look like.

No, I had a V&H fuelpak.  Ya, I may break down next summer and get the auto tune since the closest Dyno is over 200 miles away.

What you would like to seems unclear to me. Would u like to make it more clear?

Watch out this guy has only one post and is trying to sell his cheap china phones. SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM!!!!!!!!!!

so the PC5 works on bikes prior to 2009? yours is an 08 right?

Yes it does!.. Mine is an 06 and it fired up right away. The PC 5 is almost the same as the PC III, what really makes the difference is the auto tune... it gives you a freedom I didn't have before (we don't have dyno centers here in Chile). It is so sensitive it was reading the extra fuel the ECU puts in when you open the throttle, so I had to manually change the fuel figures in 1st gear in the accelerating range. It takes a while to understand how much you can take out of this kit, but it is definetly worth it.

Crapola!  I just put in a PCIII along with the PR BAK and some Big Radius pipes.  While all of that went okay, I sure would like to have the extra features available on the V.  When I called my local Dynojet shop they didn't recommend the V for earlier years, just 09.

same think they told me in dynojet... it was something like "we have had news about people installing them on older models, but we are not giving guarantee on other than 09" in other words, it works, they just don't want to support all the other years. I've had mine for over 3000 miles and it runs much better with its own map than the PC III with a map from the net.

Yup, 2008 and it works perfect.  The PC 5 will work on all the warriors, not just the 09.
