I commute with my bike every day and the low gear snatchiness is irritating the hell out of me. I had the bike for over a year now and have become quite a Jedi with the clutch, but it is still bad. Will the Power Commander cure this?
Thanks in advance

Yes.
But cheaper and easier is get the tuneecu cable and download a map from here.
Better result as you can also turn other stuff on and off like the SAS, it is a diagnostic tool and it is free exept for the cable. (round $50)
Read up on it in the tuneecu topic.

by the sound of it it is a fairly stock bike.
Without spending much I would do the following.
-Get tuneECU and a cable.
-Turn off the 02 sensors (with tuneECU)
-make sure the TPS is adjusted correctly (tuneECU diagnostics mode)
-make sure the throttlebodies are balanced (again can be done with tuneECU)
-if you are confident enough to remove the secondary flies and shafts do this and also turn off in tuneECU (those who dont agree with this mod tend to have never removed them in the first place; however it smoothens the throttle response as there is not an extra set of butterflies moving independantly of the ones cotrolled by your right hand)
-while at it with tune ecu you may as well turn off the 2nd and 3rd gear restricter
-as you have the stock exhaust DO NOT REMOVE OR TURN OFF THE SAS, this is required to keep your catalytic converter clean and free flowing (as much as the stock exhaust can be anyway)
next step towards smoothness requires a fair amount of money and includes a motobox or equivelent and there is not much point in doing this without the exhaust.

Thanks guys for all your help.
Just won a cheap PCIII on Ebay so that should be just finding the right map then plug and play, right???

Does it come with the o2 sensor block offs?

Just fitting PC111 and map will not make that much difference.....removing secondarys will

As well as o2 sensors

motobox and O2 eliminators. The only real cure in my opinion.
