We're talking tuners, which one is best for your application, and show you how to install the power Commander 6 on our 2022 Indian Challenger. If you're adding more air in and out, you'll need more fuel too.
Been following the Challenger since its inception and owned one for two years. I’ve always read and heard that the Bosch ecu on the Challenger will defeat a power commander.
I want to see the before and after Dyno numbers. I got a power commander in my scout, intake exhaust plus a Dyno tune gained 8 horsies. Also, most commonly asked question I get is: “do I need to tune if I have done an intake and exhaust?” What’s your take on is a tune a must, for a basic set up?
You could do a power commander on the 2023 or you can typically wait until they come out with the powervision. Most manufacturers are cracking down on tuners due to EPA rules so its getting harder and harder to get a good tuner
I’m just curious what the differences are between a stock bike, for example a scout bobber, and a tuned bike that gets 8 extra hp? Besides just the raw power numbers, is it a noticeably better ride? Feel? I saw a Bobber get full dyno tuned and it only got 8-9 extra hp, but that doesn’t translate into a ton more speed for all that input to change it up. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m legitimately trying to learn here and don’t know much about the differences.
From my experience Indians struggle with throttle response. They have a lag out of the box that drove me nuts. The tuner certainly helped that lag a lot. Seems quicker and snappier. We have not put it on the dyno yet but there is a good amount of untapped power to be had with just a better tune.
Another thing you got to think of, 9hp doesn't sound like a lot. But that's about a 10% gain in power. You'd feel that. Especially on a light bike like the bobber.
@@DeanSpeedCustoms Thank you for the responses. Really appreciate that, and I love the Dean Speed Indian sissy bar on my Scout Bobber! People seem to like that as much as the bike 🤝🏻 Last question, tuning for more horse reduces fuel efficiency even at base cruising, correct?
