Power Commander V durability?
I am wanting to do the full stage 1 on my 2010 Limited, but I am hearing so many conflicting reports on the Power Commanders. I live in southern AL where it gets hot down here, and many people I have talked to about this say the PC's don't hold up in the heat. I read about so much success on here I want to get one, but I don't want to invest in something that isn't going to last.
I would get a SE Tuner, but they are so expensive and I would rather have access to maps from FuelMoto which is where I would get a power package for my bike.
Do the PC V's hold up any better?
My dealer has a drawer full of PCs he has pulled off of bikes that don't work and replaced with SE Tuners.

Why not call Fuel Moto then, who sells literally hundreds of them and ask them. They would be much more knowledgeable than individuals like myself.
I got no issues with mine..is all I know, and they are a cheaper alternative.
I really don't know how to sell you on the idea of getting one if that's what you're looking for...

Have PCV now. Had PC on 4 other bikes. Never had a problem. I'm in TX & rode to Sturgis in August. That's plenty hot. The PCV will not let tach read over 5K w/revextend enabled & your actually hitting 6200. Other than that I can't say nothing bad about them.

To get another opinion, you might want to talk with Doc Weaver. From what I hear, he is one of the top harley tuners.

Because they are selling them. I am looking for an independent unbiased opinion, not the salesman's. Thanks.

I'm sure he's not too biased.. either...
Start a thread poll asking whose had issues with the PC-V or trouble with their SERT, Sest, or what ever they're called...

I've considered one for my 09. There is a member here that occasionaly posts pictures of power commanders in the trash can, at his shop. Needless to say he is not a fan !!
The SERT / SEPT whatever they call it this week is too rich for my wallet by the time you pay for some dyno time.
