Power commander for F6B

[Spanky]

I found this last night, and wanted some input. Looks like we can eliminate the top end, and rev limiters, as well as increase Horsepower. Anyone have it? Thoughts????

I doubt you would get much out of it as the engine is just too mild. Plus you would need to make it breath and exhaust better. I am watching the work on reprogramming of the ECU on the GL1800 forum for better running.

Keep us up to date on what you find out / learn please.

Hi Ya Charlotte rider, Your not too far down the road from me. Flowing the exhaust and air filter does more than any thing else. I would not want to appear at a Honda shop with an engine warranty issue with a Power Commander. Just my two cents. Maybe see you at Morrow Mountain State Park some Sunday? Late lunch at Jay's Seafood Buffet? :cheers:

Hey Slayer, Had to Google Advance NC. Yea i'm on the path for opening up the intake and exhaust, I'ts riding time, and i just don't want to open up the air box, 3+ hours in is not that appealing to me. might just wait until the fall. I came from Harley and the Power commander really opened up the v-twin. although we added an arlen ness big sucker and V/H pipes at the same time. My main gripe is i keep hitting the rev limit in first and second all the time. I have hit the top speed limit twice, but that was in backwoods Texas. Can't do that here.

Yep.

Preliminary results are 'decent'. At $375, it would be far less expensive than the PC set-up.

This is nbr 3 GL1800 and nbr 1 was at 167,000 with open exhaust standard airbox. 42 MPG and 35 pulling bunkhouse trailer. Nbr 2 killed by Deer at 20.000 mi. Nbr 3 an F6B at 8,400 and running strong. Mileage appears a bit better, may be 62 lbs lighter and I also trimmed 50 lbs. Been said if you want your motorcycle to handle ( perform ) better, take some weight off. Nice thing it does not cost anything, rather that eating good food in place of fast food. See Ya.:cheers:

I do have the loopZ cobras and K&N hmmm I wonder?

I used all of the Power Commander stuff on my Yamahas.

I personally have yet to see an a/f ratio chart on any of the sites for Goldwings nor on google. So as others stated, as far as making its best power, you already know it takes good airflow in and out and an a/f ratio that makes power. I did call Power Commander on this new unit and it does not have the rev-extender as of yet. But, I also have another email out there to the [stock ECU reflash guy], that I found info on as stated above by another member on another forum.

Its really hard to let that "ole hot-rod blood" go away, so now I try to gather info for others to use for themselves. This bike runs like a raped ape already, for me it satisfies my thirst for that rush of power at any throttle position at any speed and in any gear. With that satisfaction of this bike in stock form, I choose to leave it be or go big (turbo).

Gio at Blacksmith Motors has an F6B in his hands for one year. Blacksmith is in the works of putting a turbo on that bike, at least that was the last word. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe they will get into a good exhaust system and maybe some cold air intake.

Heck, don't forget a pro rider ran 11.84 seconds at 111mph on this bike STOCK :yikes: it boogies

There is a 1800 turbo bike out their it is about 4 or 5 since it was built,
google turbo charge 1800 Goldwing and it is on YouTube.

I agree with 120, this bike screams... But, anything worth doing, is worth doing to excess... I'd be interested in flashing the existing ECU if you can, please pm me with the info, and links.

[ED209]

Here ya go....... I do already have an email to him and awaiting any answer he has.

Surely there will be many requests because this F6B has pulled in a lot of the hot-rod type. We just have to give him time, but do show your interest by filling out his page.

That be 'the source'!

The thread from one tester on the GL board got more 'hate mail' than constructive comments/questions, (typical of ANYTHING posted on the GL board :icon_rolleyes:)

Due to that, I believe that one tester has went 'underground' with his latest findings (PM him to receive latest comments)

I'm not THAT interested, but I'd like to read about others experiences,,,

120, you sound like the PERFECT candidate!!!

Oh this is great, I'm getting ready to start a project right down the street from them. I will be visiting their shop soon. Thanks for the info!
