hi all got me a pc11 for a raptor what and where can i get the maps and what leads will i have to get or will any usb lead fit

Your PCII I believe is probably not a USB version. The cable required is a serial cable.
Later laptops may not have a serial cable port.
Serial port to usb adaptor is available from Dynojet. http://www.dynojet.co.uk/faq.htm
If you have a serial port you will need to have the computer close to the bike as the Power Commander needs to be powered to accept new maps.
Alternatively you can obtain a powered link lead which powers the comander via a 9v battery and enables re-mapping in comfort wherever your computer is situated.
The lead and the powered adaptor are not expensive, if you are a bit handy with a soldering iron you can make a powered adaptor using components from Maplins.
or http://www.dynojet.co.uk/powercommander/accessories.htm
Dynojet do have maps on their website to download which might be suitable depending on what mods you have done.
I have a couple of custom maps that should suit a 996 Raptor with venom cans with baffles fitted, timing ratard eliminator. k and n air filter. I can email to you if you want.

You can download the software and maps here (TL1000S maps are what you want):
http://www.powercommander.com/powercomm ... loads.aspx
be sure to select PCII
The serial port is the one in the middle:

Is the laptop seeing the USB lead as a serial port? You do need to load the software/driver that comes with the lead.

yes i presume so i have installed the software that came with the lead and i have tryed 2 laptops but neither are recognising the power commander
i have put maps on the pc software so it must be ok and as i said the green lightb is on the pc and bike runs do you think its the lead.
i need a stella.

With the lead connected, have a look in Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and look down the list for Ports (COM & LPT). Expand this and it should have COM1 or 2 listed. If not it's your USB lead that's at fault so you could try a different USB port (if you have one) and try reloading the software.

Hope this helps!

Kev,

Not all usb - serial converters work as they should. I hav five different models and only two are working on all devices I use The others will work on one piece of hardware but not on another So it is the story of the needle in the haystack.

See ya

The cheap (huge pine) usb to serial converters don't work. Apparently the Belkin ones do. I gave up with my cheapo ebay one and plugged the pc11 into my main computer , along with a small battery.

Tl maps don't work well. You can get a good map (by Ubaldo) off the Italian Raptor site.

thanks guys the laptop is finding the lead in device manager and saying what port perhaps its the lead as some of you are suggesting i will try another and see how it goes.
found the italian site but dont understand the italian perhaps one of you who have good maps could email them to me.
thanks all off to get more leads.

I could also host the maps.
The files aren't big and i'm on a VPS (getting a proper dedicated server one of these days).

Hi kev
I have two maps specifically for cagiva that a nice technician from Dynojet sent me. send me a private message and i'll mail them to you.
The cable I use is the standard serial cable running through a serial male one end to serial female the other end. I have a little square 9v battery connected into the wires that link the two and can load and unload maps or even write / modify what i have. obviously al this takes place off the bike hence te need for te 9v battery.
Have you got the dynojet power commander control centre programme installed on your computer? if you have when you attach your power commander to the computer there are several options like "send map to commander"
Each map is displayed as a digital matrix of numbers which are the commands to tell the fuel injection how long to inject fuel for. Putting it simply.
Good luck, if you have a suitable map you should notice better driveability less flat spots etc.
However you may notice a marked increase in fuel consumption.

Kev, you should find two maps for tl1000s and two custom maps for raptor in your email
