My power commander DNA stage 3 setup has been on for about 6,000 miles now.
For around 20,000 miles I lived with the kev mod and DNA stage 2 + decat exhaust.

I think, once you've forgotten how much you paid for it all, it's worth it.

I've got virtually the same fuel economy, with a considerable power increase. Makes a big difference when you're taking luggage everywhere.

Nick at PDQ is the guy to talk to. I luckily had my PCV fitted elsewhere (you should do it yourself) and was using a map downloaded from here which I got Nick to tweak.

It sounds like you're making your bike exactly like mine so why not download my map from the supporters section, and visit PDQ for a re-tune if you feel it needs it.

That'll bring your cost right down.

Thanks WeaveMcQuilt
I know Nick at PDQ, he set up my XR400 a few years ago.
Previously I had a VFR750 (1997) and TDM850 (1992), both set up with a dynojet kit and filter at PDQ and the results were impressive. They were probably two of ther best bikes I owned and I've had a few.

Sadly bikes nowadays are designed to get through the emmission tests and the fuelling/ride quality suffers. My 650 Versys is awful.
With the Tenere I'm hoping to achieve a smooth creamy power delivery which in my opinion is more important than outright horsepower; I want the bike to be very rideable and not to be worrying that it's running lean, which longterm could lead to problems with the head/valves.

I'm planning to run an OTR foam filter for dusty conditions (Morocco) and a DNA for everyday use. It's possible with the PCV to have a switch fitted and to be able to change between two power maps should the filters be drawing different amounts of air, more costly though !!

Afternoon,


2004 model with MTC cans and stage 2 DNA.
Power Commander V is on order and dyno set up booked once it arrives.

Is there anything I need to do before it goes on the Dyno?

I was thinking of treating her to a new spark plug and a tank full of Shell V Power fuel.

Do I need to think about settings in the DIAG such as CO2 such as put it in the middle somewhere and tell them how to change it if necessary or would they not normally look to change this on the dyno set up with a PCV or just leave as is and they will do the necessary via the PC unit?

Blocking the AIS is the only really essential thing to do before running on the dyno - you'll get a duff map built if it's left operational. You could treat it to a new plug and fresh fuel. Just make sure you fill it with the fuel that you normally use - no point using V-Power 99RON on the dyno to build a map if you normally run standard 95RON unleaded.

Leave the CO setting as stock.

Make sure the tyre pressures are right and the chain is correctly adjusted. Also make sure the clutch is adjust correctly (free play at the lever) and engaging properly - you don't want any potential for clutch slippage on the dyno.

Will do - Thanks Pleiades
