Power commander 5 2008 R1200 GS

[MrT]

A friend told me that Power commander 5 with auto tune will fit on my 2008 R1200 GS
according to the website it has a different part number.
Anybody know if this is true?

Does anybody know if any of these power commander 5s fit a 2008 R1200 GS? PC5 12-001 for 2009
PC5 12-014 for 2010

I can't tell you for sure but it's likely that they will fit physically. The difference is usually in the base map. I'm saying that on the basis of the information I received from Dynojet when I asked them if the PCIII which I had but never fitted to my '07 GS would fit my '09 bike.

honestly,what difference does this thing make??

It or a similar device is pretty much a necessity if you fit a full exhaust system sans cat' to an '08 onwards 1200. I had a full Remus system on my '04 and that was fine. However, even on my '07, it was noticeable that it was running leaner.

Subsequent iterations of the bike have had leaner fuel maps and I certainly wouldn't fit a full system to an '08 or later bike without, at the very least, having the AFR's checked on the dyno and most likely having a custom map made up. Hence the reason my current '09 bike is, as yet, only fitted with my Remus can and not the headers.

I have two friends with PC fitted,one with auto tune they both say it picks up better in the low rev range and runs better overall.

PC unit connects to both injector connectors and TPS connector. All these connectors are identical on '08 '09 and '10 GS. So physically you can use all.
Difference on PC part number is mainly due to installed fuel map.
As long as you are going to have autotune application on your bike, this difference will be automatically compansated.

So I have bought and fitted a PC V with autotune.
I am having some problems.
The autotune is activated but when I connect to my laptop and get the maps or tables there is no change in the tables.
I started with zero maps and they are all still showing zero after a 120 km ride.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The last time I had this problem, it was solved by updating the firmware of PC5.
Do recheck the configuration settings of Autotune though. There are options of activation delay time, engine temperature that might lead to Autotune not being active if set incorrectly.
