MSRP: $369.95 from DynoJet
WHAT IS IT? DynoJet's PCV allows ATV, dirt bike and street bike owners whose machine has EFI to adjust and tune their electronic fuel ignition map to accomodate modifications such as an aftermarket exhaust, air intake or internal engine upgrades. The PCV is DynoJet's latest electronic fuel tuner and attaches inline to the machine's EFI system and mounts to the machine.
HITS: We tested the PCV on our project quad Yamaha 2009 YFZ450R. The PCV installed easily, and downloading a modified fuel map to the quad was as simple as downloading fuel maps from PowerCommander.com, plugging the PCV into our laptop via a USB cable and clicking send! The PCV is water resistant, and it offers the user the ability to fine-tune and adjust individual fuel map settings with a laptop. DynoJet has several ready-made fuel maps available for download for a variety of different modifications from basic to full-on race engines with different combinations of aftermarket exhaust brands.
MISSES: Many EFI quad owners, particularly YFZ450R owners, are already scrambling for the latest fuel module. The PCV is a great unit if you have "standard" aftermarket mods, such as a filter, exhaust and piston. All you have to do is download a ready-made fuel map and you're good to go. However, if you have more complex modifications done to your quad and need to fine tune your fuel map, the process is very complex and difficult to learn. If you're not electronics savvy, not just the PCV but any fuel tuner is going to make you long for the days of carburation.
THE VERDICT: DynoJet's PCV installed onto our YFZ450R quickly and easily, and downloading and trying different maps took about 60 seconds each, compared to the time involved with changing pilot jets and needle settings in the past. The PCV is easy to use, but for those who need help tech support is readily available and DynoJet approved tuning centers are located throughout the U.S. For another $259.99, you can buy DynoJet's Auto Tuner and the PCV will make automatic adjustments to your machine as you ride.
