Default used power commander?

Hey can I use a used power commander on my bike? Are they reusable?

Ya for sure. Just make sure it will work for your make/model and dial it in. Settings are on the internet.

this is the closest map the pc website lists for my bike...

M817-008 *Advanced Map*Vance & Hines Straight shots HS slip-ons, Screamin Eagle Air Filter, Stock ECM, Dynojet O2 sensor eliminators , Fuel table 1 is rear cyl

I'm not sure what it means by stock ECM, and I dont have dynojet O2 sensor eliminators.

Any thoughts/advice?

Make sure you get the cables to load maps too. I got a used one and have never looked back. The software disc would be nice too, but you can download that from the web site.

Ya, I've already downloaded it from the webstie just to see what it's like, but I'm confused on how the whole thing works. Wonder if I should just go for the simplicity of the v&h fuel pak...

If you're bike hasn't been remapped, then it's a stock ECM.
If you don't know for sure, it has to be taken in to find out.
