Finnaly got delivery of a Power commander V  and started installing it in the IQ,

this should help me get the most out of the R1.

I had plenty of room and made a nice bracket that I mounted to the top of the IQ fuse box.

In order to upload different maps the unit needs to accessible to plug the USB cable in and run the software

I should now be able to tune the R1 engine to match the custom made exhaust, I have a few maps I downloaded to try out.

In the future I can also add a quick shifter that will allow  me to upshift without letting off the gas. 

When it is hooked up to a laptop here is a view the configuration screen.

from the company website:

The Power Commander V Part number:22-054

The New Power Commander V is loaded with tons of new features. Below you will find some Power Commander V features.

Analog input (allows user to install any 0-5 volt sensor and build an adjustment table based on its input such as boost or temperature)
With gear position input connected the PCV is capable of allowing each cylinder to be mapped individually and for each gear (for example: on a 4 cylinder bike with a six speed transmission there could be up to 24 separate fuel tables).

More to come once I get it configured.
