[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1318421, member: 19880"] My '07 was bought slightly used (12,000 mi) with aftermarket exhaust, K&N filter and PC-III. I removed the PAIR shortly after I got the bike. The Power Commander was dyno-tuned by the original owner. I changed the exhaust back to stock because I didn't like the noise; especially on longer rides. I changed back to the OEM filter; mostly because of what I read about the fact that the K&N does not retain particulates as well. Neither of these changes made ANY perceptible change in power or torque. The crappy fuel mileage was starting to piss me off so I ended out removing the Power Commander. Fuel mileage improved by almost 20% and, again, there was no change in available power that I could detect. (I really like the extended tank range, not to mention the saving in expenditure for fuel.) Also hated being the first one to run out of gas when riding with other FJR folks. The throttle became somewhat more abrupt without the PC but I got used to it pretty quickly. (No question that it was smoother with the PC) I never had any problem with surging either before or after. I have almost 150,000 miles on the bike now. [/QUOTE]
