hello everyone , I'm having some problems connecting the commander to my bike shes a 99 and I have a pc2, looks like I've been out for a wile because now I've read that the pc2 is out and they are making pc3 for the 99 models? is that correct?. anyway my problem is that my computer dose not find the commander I realy don't now if is the map the problem, because it dosen't open. can anyone tell me where I can find maps for 99 pc2 commander already whent in the power commander site but nothing, looks to me like all the maps are for the new usb, the bike has a yoshi rs3 full exust. I checked all the connectors from the pc2 to the bike and to the computer and everything looks fine. my bike has the engine almost new thanks to a little problem with the connecting rods, but before that the commander was sent back to the dealer to be checked because since new I could never had it open, the dealer send it back and told us it was ok , so I asume the problem has to be with the maps. thanks for any help.

Dynojet had a map on their site for the PCII that was specifically for the setup you have and an O2 sensor delete. It was denoted as a "Euro" map though. I'm not sure what difference that would make. I have the RS-3 full setup and stock filter that I had custom mapped locally. Mean elevation was 2800' ASL. It is for a PCIII though and probably does you no good at all. You could transcribe the numbers to the PCII table manually, but I'm not sure exactly what results you may have. PM me if you would like me to send you the .djm file.

How are you trying to "open" the Commander? Are you using Dynojet's software or something homebrew? When you use the Djet software and make the physical connection, the software usually does the rest and displays the table.

The Euro-map is different because the fuel here is much better quality than yours is. I don't know the exact difference, but it is noticeable (so I am told).

I don't know if European fuel is better or worse than US fuel (on what do you base
that assertion?), but I was told by Power Commander to not use Euro maps in my
US bike due to a difference in the fuels.

It is common knowledge here. The fuel is more refined, and is better resistant against knocking (if that is the right word in English). If you bring a bike to Europe you will notice the difference (I've been told by several Americans).

Guess that is why it cost you a arm and a leg for gas... I though we had it rough...

The Canadians put a little Maple Sugar in to give it flavor, down here we use Coconut milk.
