Re: newbie
Welcome in Neil
Why don't you change back to a 5pw ? & if you did which bike would you swap ?

cheers jompy
if i had to i would get rid of the 4c8 to be honest
not to keen on the fly by wire throttle feels like it has not got the same feel as pull the throttle and go it seems to have a instance of lag

Re: newbie
Hi Neil and welcome to the forum, I've got a 4c8 too, I was disappointed when I first rode it, lose the cat, fitted two brother pipes, installed a pc3 and had it custom mapped and never looked back, alternatively you could get your ECU flashed rather than fitting a PC3

Re: newbie
Welcome to the forum Neil, I improve ether throttle on my 4c8 with a PC III and a custom map, made a hell of a difference.
So welcome

Re: newbie
decatted already
akro pipes
no o2 sensor
commander 3 with custom map 171 on dyno
still just feels like there is lag on throttle though
might just be me being old school

Re: newbie
Totally different power delivery from the 4XV I know, often thought about changing back the the 4C8 is way better looking [emoji106]
