Installing a power commander V on my 2021 MT07 and its absolutely INSANE | Test Run Included! | EP3 

Thanks for the Comment Seanman23. I like to make sure everyone can see the finished product in action. You got it man! Riding vids are coming

Thanks for the comment J Wro. I'm trying to help everyone out as best as possible. Thanks I really appreciate it. Torque specs I left out in this one because the torques are so low that it's really no more than hand tight. Stay tuned for future vids. If there is something I do leave out hit me with a comment and I'll try to include it in future vids.

Thanks Alan I appreciate it. That’s why I started making videos. I got more vids now on other mods as well and more to come. Thanks for visiting the channel.

West coast moto thanks for visiting the channel. That's definitely my goal with my tutorials because a task like this can be quite daunting. Glad you liked it! Happy new year 🍻

Thanks Justice and your very welcome!!

I got a buddy that's got a 790 duke. They're nice bikes man. Also thanks. I try to put the time in and make it the best for the viewer.

I appreciate the comment Sonny Cavone. I'm new to RU-vid so I'm trying to make better and better stuff. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Thanks for the comment and for visiting the channel Eero! I’m glad it’s helping you guys out

I appreciate the comment!

Kjetil you are very welcome. That's what my channel is all about. Thanks for the support.

Was jus saying that I feel that he should be doing Al videos for his company really great work

Thanks much appreciated! It’s a great set up man. You will love it!

@@BradTheBuilderChannel I'm sure I will. It's my second bike, and I haven't had a bike for like 10 years. Should be mind blowing really.

Thanks! It’s all based on feel. You have tons of leverage with a ratchet so I get the anxiety.

Thanks for the comment!!

Tell them to say the alphabet backwards without pause and they will understand

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks plesnivi. Glad you like it!

I appreciate the comment and thanks for visiting the channel. It really helps support the effort I put into the videos. Peace!

@@BradTheBuilderChannel Sure thing buddy. I'm gonna order my MT07 tomorrow morning after work so I'm really excited to see a power commander install on this model since I'll be looking to get a full Akra exhaust when I get it.

Here to help! I will make a video in the future on how to change and install tunes on the power commander.

Get a flash tuner, it’s a lot easier, it’s more customizable, and it’s cheaper

Definitely a good option as well. Thanks for visiting the channel.

The single best mod is always an ECU flash.

Appreciate it Karthik, Thanks for continuing to check out the new vids!

Vick, thanks for the comment! The answer to your question is that i am actually running the full yoshimura exhaust system tune with stock airbox. I called Dynojet and asked because there isnt tunes out yet for the 2021 model Akrapovic exhaust. They informed me that the full yoshi tune will work just fine because it is also a full system. Their customer service is outstanding and i highly recommend you give them a call with any questions. The yoshi tune works great for the mean time untill their R&D catches up to the 2021 models. Hope this helps!

I am wondering this also

I called Dynojet because of this dilemma and was instructed to use the full yoshimura tune for it is very similar being a full system. You can call them too and I'm sure they will tell you the same. Works great!

Thanks wattsmichaele! Absolutely will do. It will power wheelie no problem in 1st and 2nd. 2nd is a touch more challenging. Bump the throttle let off quickly then hammer down and the wheel comes right off. The torque this thing has is insane.

Great news! Thank you.

@@wattsmichaele my bone stock 2022 mt 07 will power wheelie with just the throttle in first and second gears. Easily comes up in third with a little clutch.

i have a factory stock mt07 from 2021. the stock one will do it :D it has 68nm torque, in the low rpms, it can lif up the front with third gear clutch.

@@davidleonard8369 yea, same :D now i work on my throttle control in the twisties because she wanna drift , but i dont :D

I like the bend in the pipe on the carbon that’s really the only reason for the choice. It simply fit the look I was going for

Jonesy thanks for visiting the channel! Honestly either the flash or the power commander are great options. Akra has yet to put out the akra specific tune out yet but was instructed by dyno jet who makes the power commander to use the yoshimura tune which works fine still. If you want more flexibility with the tune get a flash otherwise get the power commander. Both good options. Its is a lot of work to put it in but once it's in it's in. I like the option to return to stock if needed and that's why I chose the power commander. To some people that doesn't matter but it did to me.

Now on the side of the noise I have not experienced that. Have you messed with the intake at all with mods?

@@BradTheBuilderChannel No mods to the stock airbox. I feel the sound is coming from the left side of the bike, kinda where the airbox would be. I need to check that.

I would say no it's about the same with the power commander. Maybe only a little better. You would yield better results with a flash tune because they can adjust more using that method.

I ended up using the yoshi map for mine per instruction from dynojet

Your welcome too! Thanks for checking out the channel

Thanks again

Did you install a aftermarket air filter?

@@JoseRodriguez-ml1sx nope I left mine stock. I like where it’s at but I have another thing I can do if I want a little more out of the bike

They updated the power commander to 6 now. nothing really changed though. I personally do not think it's worth it. You need a separate 02 sensor port tig welded on your exhaust system to use it. In my opinion, it's not worth the cost for the gain you would receive.

I’ve been asked so many times haha. Should probably make a video on why. An ECU flash is also a great option. You will have more tuning options with an ECU flash. With the flash you will have to uninstall your ECU and send it in to flash unless you have your own flasher which is $400. Then you wait for it to come back. If you install a new mod such as an K&N air filter you will have to take the ECU off again and send it in to get reflashed. With the powercommander it’s a piggy back system than can be taken on and off to return to stock if you want. Makes troubleshooting issues if they arise much easier. I can also download new fuel maps in a matter of minutes versus having to send it in. I can also fine tune fuel adjustments if necessary. Dyno jet who makes the power commander also has great customer service and have always answered my questions. They both have their benefits but I like the option of taking it off to return to the stock setup. Once your ECU is flashed you will need to know all the factory settings in order to reverse it back to stock.

@@BradTheBuilderChannel That's what I was thinking. I like the fact that I can change things at home and not have to send it away every time. And messing with the ECU just freaks me out a little bit. Thanks for the info!

@@iveyfaganjr605 thanks for supporting the channel!

@B-rad

Use the yoshi map. That was what I was instructed to do by dynojet because they haven’t mapped the Akra yet

MTMatt thanks for the comment. A mechanical career path may be in my future. I really haven't noticed a big change in fuel efficiency. If anything it so subtle that you wont notice. I've had people ask me if it adds horsepower too but I couldn't answer that question truthfully without having it dynoed. The 2019 and 2021 disassembly should be fairly similar especially once you get the plastics off. Best of luck and thanks for visiting the channel!

@@BradTheBuilderChannel but with the full exhaust and power Commander it has to pull harder? The mechanic today told me it would add torque and HP forsure,how much hell have to Dyno to see. Is it worth the money for the power commander 5? Any air filter upgrades?

@@mtmatt8958 oh it pulls way harder. It's not even close and I haven't touched the intake yet. Air box mods will only make it better. To me it's worth the money but it comes down to what you want to do with the bike. Some people prefer the flash but i like that the power commander can be removed and returned to stock for trouble shooting purposes in the future.

@@BradTheBuilderChannel 1 more question for you me. B rad, can you control engine brake with this power commander? Or do you need a flash to adjust that? Thanks man

@@mtmatt8958 you will want a flash to control the engine braking. That's the downside. I personally adapted my riding to it and i love it

Yep that is something I learned later. You do not need to empty the fuel out of the tank

Is the one and only tune the stock exhaust one? It’s hard to tell without seeing the numbers on a screen at a dyno but when you ride the bike long enough and know it’s tendencies very well you will have a keen sense of when things have improved.

Just as a follow-up for others. The check engine was no issue. I ordered a CAN-compatible OBDII and a Euro5-to-OBDII adapter and read the codes and only had P0113 - Intake Air Temp High. Reset and reread, no issues. Let it run for a few minutes and no CE light so I think I'm good to go. Man, this thing sounds MEAN! I love it. Thanks again for all the extra work you put into these videos.

Check out this video I made explaining everything ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eWQqQLdaTyk.html

I kept the baffle in and run the Yoshi tune per instruction from dynojet who sells the powercommander. Give them a call if you have questions about the powercommander. They were extremely helpful when setting mine up

@@BradTheBuilderChannel I'm running the same yoshi tune, just wondering if it's different if baffle out. I emailed them, and wasn't much of a help

@BradTheBuilderChannel I called and emailed dynojet with no help. How do I get the same tune you’re running. Any help will do me well.

Nope you will not ruin your bike without a tune … especially new bikes …. If you want more power you would need a tune but other than that you won’t destroy you engine if you didn’t tune it ….

I had to use the yoshi tune for now until the Akra Akra one comes out. This is what dynojet instructed me to do when I called about the same issue

@B-rad The Builder Thank you!! Used this video to help me install mine last night!! Super helpful 👌

Questions need second opinion! Happened after changing wheels. ABS light on & speedo zero. Checked fuses, line clueless

@@kingjoules2581 when you disconnected the wheels my assumption is the sensor got confused with its counter parts leaving. It might take a while for the computer to auto reset otherwise what I would do is disconnect the battery and reconnect to manually reset.

Also the wheels have a little disc on them with a magnet that spins to tell how fast the wheel is spinning. Do the new ones have that?

Yep use your lap top and the usb. Bike should be off. You can tune it with the unit fully unhooked as well like if you just got it

@@BradTheBuilderChannel So I can bring the unit to my pc upload the file on to the PCV and then hook it up? When I start my bike it will have the map fully loaded on to the bike? Another quick question does the wire come that long cause I see some PCV units and the wire to hook everything up isn't as long as yours. Thank you the quick response !

@@ShipyardWelder yes exactly. you can install the tune before you even hook the unit up to the bike. Im not sure about that. The wire I got was what was included in my kit.

Your bike will not run as lean from factory. Long term damage is possible but not likely it will affect the bike tremendously. I currently have the same exact bike as brad, color and everything. I have a “Amazon special” exhaust on and don’t have it tuned. Low end power went down a decent amount but the sound is amazing. I plan to get a power commander just mainly for the bike to run as lean as possible but it is NOT needed.

They sell the quick shifter as a separate connection the PC. Check out dynojets website and you should see the accessories to the PC. Peace ✌️

I called them and have been using the yoshi Map. They told me they should be very similar. It is frustrating they haven’t put the correct map out yet though. I might have to give them a call again

@@BradTheBuilderChannel thanks for answering this quickly ;)

@@BradTheBuilderChannelI recently used your install video for the PC6 and it went flawlessly!! However, I’m having issues with finding and uploading the yoshi tube. Dynojet email and customer service was horrible. Any help?

I’m gonna be honest with you man I’m not sure on that one. Your best bet probably is to call dynojet

I’m shooting from the hip here but the fuel injector springs might be getting weak. Trading them out for new ones might correct the issue

@B-rad The Builder thanks for the reply. I watched a few more videos about the ticking sound, and a few said to check the exhaust system, and make sure everything is tight. I was able to tighten all the header bolts about a full turn. I also drained some oil out, even though it was fine according to the manual (check while warm). I went back to the way I always checked it (cold) for the last 15 years. Now it seems to be OK, even though the ticking didn't really sound metallic. It may have been because of the acoustics of the titanium, idk. I hate vehicle noises, and I'm not the only one. I read dozens of comments about others being paranoid about every little sound as well, lol. The bike only has 8k miles on it, so I doubt it's something more serious internally. Thanks again for your time!

@@4rch3er19 thanks for commenting back. I like hearing what people find out about their issues so I can learn too. I agree noises are very annoying and create what should be an enjoyable experience riding to a nervous breakdown haha. Peace ✌️

I used the yoshi tune per instruction from dynojet when I called them about the same issue

@@BradTheBuilderChannel sweet thanks

I had to download a map onto the unit. Very easy to do off their website. Download their software from their site (dynojet.com) then drag and drop the file/map into the software

@@BradTheBuilderChannel thanks for the reply, just waiting on my Akra to get here now!

I don’t have a dyno. Not sure on exact amount. Reach out to dynojet on specific year and they will tell you. They dyno it and make tunes for the power commander specifically to whichever exhaust you have.

Of course. A tutorial could be made for that as well. I’m running a yoshi tune though because there isn’t an Akra one yet per instruction from dynojet. I wouldn’t install a $400 plus unit and run no tune!

@@BradTheBuilderChannelan you make a quick video of how you uploaded the tune. I can collectively say that we’re having issues with getting the Yoshimura tune.

I’m not sure if the powercommander v tunes transfer to the 6. I know it’s unfortunate they are going through an update now. The install however will be the same. Call them! Their customer service is great and see what they say

@@BradTheBuilderChannel thanks bro! Your vids are super helpful because I'm working on the same year mt07.

@@bohemian_demon that’s awesome man. I’m really glad I could help. Reach out if you need help in the future

@@BradTheBuilderChannel I decided to go with the ftecu kit and I got a map from 2wdw. It seemed like a good idea because of the PCV to PC6 transition. I liked your throttle body vid too. I feel like I can do it on my own now!

@@bohemian_demon thanks and yeah let me know how the kit goes

No it does not pop on deceleration. It’s normal if your getting gurgling sounds which occurs on the stock system as well just quieter. If your getting pops/backfires on deceleration then there might be a fuel issue.

Ok thanks 👍

Nothing. Dynojet is the manufacturer of the powercommander.

I freaking love it! I am not entirely sure if you can disable that function on with the power commander however I haven't noticed the issue on the 2021. I have read in the forums and know what your talking about though. Thanks for the tips!

The new Power Vision will allow you to adjust those additional settings

Still on the soft side I would say after ~4000km, after all u don't buy a mt07 for it's suspension but it's engine. Also the 21 model comes with LED light which makes riding at night a blast.

For it being the cheapest naked bike out there I'd say its pretty damn good. You can always change the suspension too. It is definitely on the softer side though.

I’m checking now. I’ll circle back with you asap. What exhaust system do you have on your bike currently?

My part number is PN:22-099

Here are your options: OPTION 1 Remove the powercommander it came with and purchase the correct one. I have a how to video on how to install the unit. They have a power commander 6 now as well which is even more updated. OPTION 2 Remove the powercommander and run it with no tune IF and ONLY if it has the Akrapovic full carbon racing line exhaust because both the revzilla website and Akrapovic.com / and their rep said you can run with no tune. ( I would get another powercommander or flash tune the bike asap though) OPTION 3 remove the powercommander and flash tune the bikes ECU. There is a few companies out there that do it. It is also a cheaper option and some people say it’s better than the powercommander even. I hope this helps but either way that old unit has to go. I wouldn’t risk it running as is if it’s communicating wrong to the ECU.

@@BradTheBuilderChannel i have rhe akrapovic carbon full exhaust system

@@BradTheBuilderChannel thank you very much!!! I do have the incorrect one. I'll be pulling this power commander today. Dammm, I wasnt planning on this, oh well!! Thanks so much!!!

This may have been the case but I played it safe.

Brent, I talked to my personal dealer about this. The warranty for these bikes works like this. Unless the issue that occurs is directly traced to the modification, it is covered by warranty. The power commander is a good option because it's a piggy back system that can be removed from the bike in case of an issue returning the bike to stock besides the exhaust. Hope this answers your question.

@@BradTheBuilderChannel It does, thank you. I pulled the trigger on an Akra carbon and K&N filter. Debating whether to spring for this and combine the installations... That air filter is under there too! (EDIT) Also, what are you using for your Dynojet map? It looks like the website only has maps for other exhausts. Have you dyno'd it yet? Thanks for such great videos man!

Can be easily returned to stock format to trouble shoot issues if they arise. Flash tuning is a great option too

@@BradTheBuilderChannel thanks bro. I grew up in the midwest (Texas now) and man, I miss Menards. Killer prices!

@@joshuafreeman9807 hahaha 11% rebate like every week lol. Yeah it’s getting tough with the way prices keep going up for stuff

That is a good option as well. I prefer piggy back system so I can return to stock if I wanted too. Also if problems arise I can trouble shoot by taking the power commander off and running just the stock ecu to see if it clears up. Once your flashed your flashed. Most company’s that flash allow you to send it back in free to get retuned say you change your exhaust or air filter. I don’t want to wait. I can change my tune in a matter of minutes not weeks.

@@BradTheBuilderChannel very nice thank you 😊

@@francowalters3958 thanks for visiting the channel

@@BradTheBuilderChannel thank you for replying 😁 I’ve just subscribed btw 😊 enjoy your day

Nothing wrong with that. For street riding the MT-07 is a beast! Honestly shocks me that some people recommend it to new riders with zero experience. In stock form it can EASILY power wheelie in first gear, lift off the ground in second and clutch up third "If you know what you're doing". I started on an YZF-R3 and the jump to the MT-07 had me shaking with adrenaline! That was after 10k plus Mile's and multiple track days. Years later Im still in love with the CP2 engine, It's one of the most enjoyable giggle fest machines on the road! You'll love it!

@@tylerwilliams1882 Dude! You making me so jealous. Just reading what you're saying just really made me want that bike so bad. I'm just in a little contemplation in whether I should get it used in FB marketplace, or finance it new at the dealership. I'm so looking forward in getting MT07.

@@ilive4d80s6I'm not trying to make you jealous at all! Just trying to let you know its an amazing bike! You could go with old or brand new and it will still be amazing. Just don't believe everything everyone says about needing to upgrade in a month or having to put thousands into suspension. The bike is about a perfect package and the suspension while not the best adds to it's playful nature in my opinion, just don't try to ride it like a supersport! PS. The alien looking headlight looks way better in person and the stock exhaust actually still has a Crossplane bark if you get on the throttle.

@@tylerwilliams1882 Awesome!

@@tylerwilliams1882 The Akraprovic exhaust note on the CP2 is such an awesome sound best without the db killer in haha

Buy it anyways. Noones going to know you're not using it for track only.

@@SuperHodge08 That's not how it works. If you buy that exhaust and mount it on your bike you can't operate it on public roads anymore - police knows that and will look out for it. Also your bike has to undergo an inspection every 2 years called "TÜV" where they check if your bike matches the emissions from factory. It's a lot easier and less hustle to get an approved exhaust which may no grant any extra performance but still looks and sounds good. So in short you either get busted by a police patrol or by the inspection (which you could prevent by remounting the stock exhaust).

@@Lukas-jm7cx all my friends have always had "illegal exhausts" no pull overs, no problems. Cops don't know what's stock and whats not because all they do is ride harley davidsons so luckily they see sport bikes and think nothing of "that foreign crap"

SuperHodge08 Your Police Officers must be pretty dumb then. In Europe its super easy to tell, if a part is legal or not. No E-Mark, no additional Papers: illegal. No E-Mark, but additional Certificates: legal, but only if the part is mentioned in your registration Papers. E-Mark: Completely legal, as long as it meets noise or emission regulations and was not modified by someone.

@@Lord_Winchester America doesn't suck and police don't give tickets for having a loud sound on your motorcycle. Victimless crime. Hang fun with your "good police" pestering you and collecting your euros. Legal extortion.

The battery is right under the front seat and takes 2 mins to access. No need to take off the plastics or anything.
