2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R Power Commander V, K&N Filter Install and Dyno Tune!

[@WagStyle]

Did you have the traction control on that might have been the blip that you felt if you get hard on the throttle it'll cut it out if the wheel spins

[@griffontheriff6029]

Hey can you send me the link for the tank pad and those sweet carbon fairings by chance?

[@vinyldecalshopnewyork9250]

Sick carbon accents! I have the same color. Any chance of getting the map he made for you? I have the same set up and im installing my power commander today.

[@SquireSCA]

When you tuned it with the PCV, did you first flash the ECU to remove the restrictions? Kawi and others have throttle table restrictions in place that cuts top end power in some gears, so that even when you give it 100% throttle, the secondary butterflies shut down to like 81% or something at 14,000rpm in order to pass noise emissions with EPA and DOT. The PCV won't change that, it's gotta be done at the ECU level, and then you tune it to perfection with the PCV.

[@eastcoastish]

No, I didn't flash the ECU first, I may do that I have them tune again...

[@SquireSCA]

@@eastcoastish Yeah, from what I am reading and watching from sources like Moore Mafia here on YT... there are some throttle and ignition restrictions up near the top of the rev range... they close the secondary flies way too soon and shut down power after 14k, and they pull a BUNCH of ignition there as well. There is easily 5hp just sitting there waiting to be let loose with the ECU flash.

[@arispatubo2628]

Is a power commander came from zx6r 2011 fit to 2019 zx6r?

[@victormanzatto1661]

Fantastic mods, cheers bro!

[@chris_fxlrst]

Man I’m upset you didn’t get to film them dyno it. Would’ve loved to hear it. Also where did you get all the carbon parts from? Should do a walk around with all the mods & where you got them from! Sick bike tho man she’s beautiful 👌🏼

Hey , good video , what's the chance I could buy the 3D printed thing for the actual unit in the tail ??? I have the 2020 , same thing

[@carlosfrances01]

Just installing a M4 slip on and a K &N do you think it need to do a dyno tuning ?

[@eastcoastish]

You'll get more out of those mods with a tune bit it should run fine without it.

[@twizted6367]

If you do slip on and filter you need a tune because it runs lean from factory doing pipe and filter leans it out even more if just slip on no

[@twizted6367]

There’s power all throughout the rev range to unleash after ecu flash I flashed mine picked up more torque and 6 & 7 horsepower from bottom to mid range and big hp gains after 10k 25 and 40 gains in top end

[@twizted6367]

Once I got it flashed it was a different bike it’s a rocket now throttle is smooth had them cut back the engine breaking a lot and you can get rid of the delay in the quick shifter too flashing is worth it

[@2WCapo]

I have a 2021 ZX6R, did you use the posi tap that came with the PCV to connect the last wire to the TPS? Also what color wire did you attach it too. Thanks man great videos

[@JimmyFaev]

next week im going to get an ecu flash/tune on my 2020 zx6r... should i also get the power commander??

[@eastcoastish]

You'll need the Power Commander if you're going to get dyno tuned. Does the ecu flash make changes to fuel and Ignition? What mods do you have?

[@meza5207]

@@eastcoastish what mods you recommend for power 2019 zx6r i just have a slip on m4 nd ecu flash .. full exhaust coming in soon but what else is recommend?

[@86250r]

@@eastcoastish not true. You do not need a power commander to have your bike dyno tuned. It can be done straight through the edu, fueling, de restrictions, spark tables, timing etc. Check out Moore Mafia on yt he explains it all the time that power commander's are nothing but a waste if you're getting dyno tuned

[@twizted6367]

@@rgrg3683 no it won’t you’ll rob yourself of torque and acceleration i have the 2019 flashed, slip on, k&n filter, smog block off plates, airbox capped off a kid I know has a 2018 and his bike won’t even touch mine no 600 yet has even gsxr 750’s I’m tearing up from rolls until top end that’s where bigger race bikes get me is top en as I can only do 163’ish mph now, was only getting 154-155mph changing sprockets up a tooth on front will rob you of low end and mid range power do not do it if anything add 2,3 or 4 teeth to the rear sprocket you’ll get even more low and mid range power from it and get a speedo healer

[@AKrush95]

Hey, you mentioned the blip during acceleration from rest. Was that an issue before the PC? I currently have that issue and my bike actually stalls sometimes (even rolling at low speeds with the clutch in I've stalled simply from that acceleration blip). If that issue was fixed for you with the PCV I think I might definitely need that now Side note: I've got the exact same color and of Course the exact same keychain. Looks like I'll be going 1:1 the whole way too as I'm leaning toward the Yoshi exhaust as well

[@eastcoastish]

The issue didn't go away when I installed the PCV but it did go away after the PCV tune (I assume they added more fueling at the low RPM range). The entire power band also felt much smoother after the tune.

[@EARDRUMASSASSIN]

Check your idle . Mine was stalling because the factory idle is set too low . The bike doesn’t charge and the fuel injection doesn’t have enough amperage to operate so the bike shuts off . Crank the idle up to about 1400 rpm and the bike will start charging around 13.3 volts .

[@AKrush95]

@@eastcoastish Thanks, didn't even see you responded 2 months ago, just commented on your latest video

[@AKrush95]

@@EARDRUMASSASSIN even with idle set that high it still stalls, I don't think that's a solution more like a Bandaid unfortunately :(

@@AKrush95 could be your battery. Do u have an aftermarket one? Or if your is an older model could be the fuel injectors are dirty. An ECU flash should clear it up too. How are u making out with it now?

can any one tell me.do u need the filter for a tune. i got a tune with full pipe no cat no baffle. am i missing out with no k&n fillter

[@eastcoastish]

You don't need the filter for a tune, but if you're getting a tune might as well pick one up since they're so cheap.

[@AJ-kv9vu]

@@eastcoastish thanks for the info. my tune has been done about 2 weeks ago with orignal fillter. just wanted to know is there more power to be got with a k&n or will it make no difference

Will this fit for z1000 2009? I got a friend who has a xz6r power comander for sale.

No, I'm pretty sure the z1000 and zx6r have different PCV modules.

[@chris4415]

Just come across this vid, I’ve done similar to mine k&n with a m4 slip on, flashed and mapped gave me 123 from a 109 start. Did you also flash the ecu ? as a couple other comments mention the hp seem on the lower side. How has it been since broken in? Had it dyno’d again?

[@ryanlamson4131]

Dyno results aren’t 100% accurate. Many variables go into it which could alter the HP/torque. Every bike will end up being different. But yes this does seem a bit low lol

[@bluefox12factsbeforefeelin58]

Only 105. I thought Those bike do 115hp stock. Why is yours so low?

[@eastcoastish]

I've seen a range of 105 to 115 stock; 10 hp variance doesn't seem too big between different bikes on different dynos. My bike was also really low mileage when I got it dyno'd, engines usually pick up some hp as the fully break in.

[@bluefox12factsbeforefeelin58]

@@eastcoastish Thanks for the info. Good to kno

@@eastcoastish run it like you stole it up to about 80% rpm then let it slow down with engine brakeing..After 500 mi or so it broke in..

after swapping filter can you just ride or need tune?

[@eastcoastish]

You can ride it, you'll get more performance out of it if you have the bike tuned though.

[@robscherer]

What bar ends do you have on your bike? Also, do you still have the ZX-6R, any updates? How are you liking it?

[@eastcoastish]

They're made by Innovative Components - they look great, but won't fit on the stock Honda bars, they have a compression fitting for a regular 7/8 open handlebar. Yes, still have the ZX6R, just turned 1,000 miles on it and absolutely love it. I was planning on doing a 1,000 mile review on the bike here soon. Thanks for being a subscriber!

[@robscherer]

@@eastcoastish wont fit on the kawasaki bars you mean? Definitely would love to see a 1000 mi review, that would be awesome!

[@videocardzrule3097]

This is easily the lowest HP ZX6R I have ever seen. I can almost guarantee he’d gain power if he removed that Power commander PCV. He doesn’t need it at all. Just a ECU flash, and dynontune. This bike would have easily produced 116-118WHP on a bad day. That 105WHP stock clearly shows the PCV was hurting the bike. I own the exact same bike, year, color, and even the exact same exhaust lol.

[@OlympiaMortgageLender]

Same. I have 121 hp with akra full system, pair valve blocked off and emissions charcoal catcher removed with reflashed ECU.

[@M1000RR_Tony]

Yeah I have 120whp/50tq with Ecu flash, dyno tune, 3/4 exhaust Alpha T2 and BMC race filter.

Dude you should powder coat your rims Neon Yellow just like Chaseontwowheels did with the ZX10R bike build if you haven’t seen it i recommend you check it out as it really does look 🔥 against the grey fairings Adam 🇬🇧

[@hyperlink3113]

Dont waste your money on a power commander. Get a dyno tune to remove the secondary throttle plate restrictions!

[@rgrg3683]

i put a 16t front sprocket on my 636 and WOW !! So much faster on all gears, stock is 15t on the 2019 and 2020, they were 16t from 2018 down, 🏍

[@Stratocasterhead51]

Shouldnt that sacrifice some acceleration though?

[@twizted6367]

Yes the only difference you’ll really notice with going up a tooth to 16 from the stock 15 is just more top end speed aka higher top speed it will not be faster or quicker throughout it will be slower.. so basically the same bike would rip you a new one if they kept the stock 15 tooth throughout the gears until top speed

[@json216]

Dam prolly paid 600 for tune and pcv...for 5hp...that sucks

[@eastcoastish]

The tune smoothed out the power curve quite a bit - I did expect more HP gain, but I'm not unhappy with the results.

[@tylerhouseknecht2593]

Love your wife 👍

[@craig_sez8534]

Op sounds like an intelligent fellow...Shoulda done more research and considered a bmc or sprint filter vs k&n...A full woolich racing kit with software and you can build a tune for your own bike then write it direct to ecu vs that old piggy back system.
