I'm so excited! but i got questions!
Alright everyone..i just purchased an akrapovic slip on for my 05 636 and a dynojet power commander! I'm sooo looking forward to putting these on (they arrive friday). Hard racing was the cheapest i could find so i went and bought them.
I got a couple of questions though, i'm kind of curious about..
-If i wanted to upgrade the rest of my exhaust system can i just buy the heads and mid-pipe and continue to use my slip on from akra?
-Which should i put on first? Akra or the PC?
-Do i have to set idle to 0 with my laptop after i've preloaded the Akrapovic map?
-How do i adjust my chain for tension? I've noticed that it's pretty loose and could probably tighten it a bit.
Sorry to bug with these questions i just want to the best for my baby =)..i'm planning to do a write up on the installation of the exhaust and PC so anyhelp is appreciated..Thanks!

You would have to contact Akrapovic and see whether or not they sell the mid pipe, etc seperately. I would put the PC and pipe on at the same time with the map preloaded on the PowerCommander. As far as the chain goes your owners manual should tell you exactly how to adjust your chain. Congrats on the new parts.

On a side note, what exactly does the pwr commander do?

Some seller will load the correct map for your setup if you ask them or when you buy the exhaust from them. The Akrapovic was used by Team Kawasaki so there should be some good maps available from Akra or Dynojet website.
Hictown: A PC3 is like jetting a bike for the best air/Fuel ratio for your set-up but it does it electronically by using a computer on Fuel injected bikesinstead of changing jets like on carbureted bikes.

IMO...it would be best to give your PCIII to a dyno shop that has a motorcycle dyno so then can measure the a/f curve thats coming out of your exhuast and put it up against with real world temperatures, rather than downloading it from power commander themselves. A dyno tune will be the most accurate way to tune a motorcycle correctly.

Yeah a tune is like the best route you can go, because it allows the tuner to adjust your fuel map accordingly to your alititude and your closest riding conditions.
