Expert Opinion
Since removing "Power Commander" I don't have anymore starting problems. Now after rides, all that is noticable is that the engine runs a little hotter but is functioning with more power.
Planning to ride it to Arizona for it's first time. Should there be anything to be aware of without the Power Commander?
Thanks

RE: Expert Opinion
No expert by any stretch but here is my take.
Was this powercommander(PCIII) on your bike to complement a full Stage I build? ie.....pipes, a/c, PCIII? or was it placed on a stock configuration. If it is the former, you have removed the starting issue by taking the powercommander off, but have left your bike dangerously lean to the point that even though the adaptive learning of the stock ECM will allow the bike to run, melting/damaging engine components would not be considered far fetched at this point, hence the heat. If it is the latter, you are running a stock configuration with a ~14:6.1 AFR, hence the heat, but you're bikes internals are "ok"..
