EZtag

I bought an EZtag today so I don't have to stop at each toll and hope I can enough cash. Especially since I'm on my bike. So I got around to it and what I thought was going to be a little sticker turned out to be a transponder type of unit. It's dimensions are about 3x1x2. Needless to say, I feel like I am wearing an Ankle house arrest piece everytime I see the tag.

Power commander

So for those of you who don't know much about motorcycles, there are carbureted bikes and fuel injected bikes. Just like you hear that "race cars are tuned" you can tune almost any ECM. (electronic controlling module). What the power commander does is it allows the ECM/ecu to be stupid while the power commander makes all of the decision. Decisions like where the fuel goes, how much of it goes where, how fast it gets there, how much air will go with the fuel, and so on and so forth. Thus creating a tuned bike that runs in optimum condition. You can receive better fuel economy as well as better performance by having a tuned or tuneable module connected to the ECM. Each week, power commander updates their maps so that you are guaranteed the best performance while maintaining the best fuel economy as well. The cool thing about it is that, if I want, I can change out performance for fuel economy or fuel economy for performance. Essentially letting me have total control over the fuel system of the motorcycle. Well when I last tried to update my power commander IIIusb it failed and the power commander IIIusb stopped responding. After much work and many phone calls I have finally ordered a brand new power commander V. It is the newest power commander on the market. I received a hefty discount due to the power commander failing on me. Wish me luck with my new power commander.
