I am thinking of purchasing a Power Commander 12-018 along with the dual Autotune AT-300 which has two replacement sensors.



I am currently running the bike with Acropovic titanium headers and high level silencer

and am looking at adding a pair of Luis Moto external air filters.



I have a question, has anyone run this setup and if so what should I look out for

Also if I disconnect and replace the stock sensors with the Autotune replacements will I get error codes.


You won't get an error code. I have been running the power commander with catless headers and open cafe racer muffler and a race filter. Inquired as to the open air filters and was advised against unless it was a show bike because of the design, bike performs better with a drop in dry air filter.

Dynojet Commander V

Howdy all!

Im in uncharted territory right now with my exhaust setup. The 2016 R Nine T Roadster I bought came with Akrapovic headers, I put on an RC 150 pro Race Exhaust. I've lost a ton of power, especially over 4k rpm. It just feels empty.

I'm assuming I need to remap the system, this is where I need advice. The Dynojet Commander V seems to be the answer, but when I browsed their available maps, there's only 3 and none of them really fit my setup.

Any have any experience in setting this up successfully? I was thinking maybe the answer is the autotune... But again this is all new to me so I'm unsure....

After install the PCV you can download one of the Fuel Injection maps provided by the Dynojet for the RNINET.
The best solution is to take the bike to one Authorized Tuning Centers to tune your bike according to your setup.
The autotune work better after you have optimized Fuel Injection maps installed in your PCV.
Autotune alone does not build a Fuel Injection maps from 0

Hi, I've just fitted my Power Commader V which I had fitted to my old 1200GS. I've uploaded the Stock RnineT Scrambler map from PC, for stock exhaust and stock airfilter. I have to say, I've not noticed a huge difference in performance, unlike when I installed it on my 2007 1200GS, using the appropriate Map. I'm wondering if the PC map for the Scrambler is for a Euro3 ECU? Did BMW even make a Euro3 version? My bike is a late 2016 model, so could be Euro3 or 4? I wouldn't know? Any ideas or obvious signs to tell? Another annoying issue is my Emission warning lamp stays on! As recommended by PC I decoupled the exhaust 02 sensors. I suspect this is the reason the orange warning lamp is constantly displayed. Any ideas how this can this be reset? Thanks. I think an email to PC is beckoning!

I'm pretty sure that all Scramblers are Euro 4 compliant. My understanding is that only the original 2014-2016 Classic R nineT roadsters were Euro 3.The rest of the 9T family is Euro 4. Happy to stand corrected though!

Thanks, that's what I think, my Scrambler is Euro 4.
Update. I've re-plugged the 02 sensors back in and after a 40 mile ride, powered off, then restarted, the on warning lamp disappeared! . In fact the bike runs a bit smoother now, so I guess the instructions from Dynajet, to decouple the 02 sensors where for the Euro3 RNineT model. Another set of RNineT Instructions, I found on the internet from Dynajet, didnt mention unpluging the 02 sensor. So I'm assuming this instruction sheet was for the Euro4 models. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of this when I speak with Dynajet.

I just installed a PC to my R9T Roadster (2016) and hopefully the winter passes soon so I get to test it.

I'm interested to know if you ever got any response form the Dynojet? It sounds weird to me if the instructions tells you to unplug the O2-sensors and you're actually not suppose to do that. In my understanding if you ride with O2 sensors on and the PC adds more fuel the O2 sensors should see this and re-adjust injection time to a shorter period. I guess the PC can dismiss this, but I thought that the PC would still be "listening" the injection amount coming from ECU.

Hi, any updates on yoru install? Impressions? I am mulling this as it's on sale and a few dollars more than the booster plug with what appears to be a much higher level of fueling options. I am not looking for huge performance gains but I really like the idea of correcting a factory lean condition and I see much more about the BP than the PCV.

Also, does anyne know, is it a true statement that the ECU does NOT eventually adapt to a booster plug and ultimately offest it's effect? I can't yet find that definitive answer.

Hi Nervous,
Yes I have the PCV installed and have been able to test ride it a bit. The reason to install it was I removed the air box and wanted to get the fueling fixed for the mod, but I haven't been able to get it tuned in dyno, so it's now working with the Dynojet's map for stock bike. I tested ride the bike after the air box removal without the PCV and there was definite change from the original as you might imagine, but I'm not saying there was more or less power/torque, because it's been a whole winter since I rode it last time. Anyway, one thing that I notice was that the bike was little bit hesitant especially in low rpm's and after I plugged in the PCV it improved a little. Obvisously the change is not significant, because its the map for the stock bike, but you could definitely see some difference. Once I get the bike tuned in dyno the improvements should be more clear, but I' not expecting anything drastic to happen The mod for the K&N-filters was purely aesthetic for me, so I'm adding the PCV to only fix the bad AFR-tune that was created by removing the air box.

I have Power commander V 12-018 on my RnineT and that works quite well, but I'm not sure what's the difference to 12-001. I'd guess that connectors for fuel injectors and throttle position sensor are the main concerns here.

Dynojet pc v 12-001
Is it possible to install the r nine t?
Anyone who knows would appreciate it if you could reply
Good question, there is a pre existing Power Commander on this thread, so I have moved your thread there. Have a read through hand see if it answers any questions you have.

oh thank you
power commander Can you tell me about the installation reviews?
If you like to know is it easy to install I would say that if you are mechanical type of person at all it should be pretty easy job. You need to be able to remove the fuel tank to connect the ground wire and it needs some effort to get the wire harness to sit snugly beside the throttle bodies, but that's about it. Powercommander recommends installing the unit behind the aluminium snorkel cover, but if that's removed like in my bike, you need to find some other suitable installation spot for it.

One thing I wasn't aware of before buying Power commander was that you have to disconnect the Lambda-sensors. That's obviously quite easily done, but you should also get something to protect the disconnected connectors, because you want to keep them clean if ever needed to re-connect again. After installing the Powercommander you need to get the bike to a dyno bench to get it adjusted correctly.
