Howdy everyone,
First off I’d like to lead by saying, I’m sorry for re opening the long debate and conversation that’s happened on multiple threads. I suppose I just need some answers, answered differently? I’m nothing short of new to motorcycling, so sorry if these questions are repetitive or typically common sense. Trying to become more technical everyday.
2008 Yamaha Fz6 (S2)
This weekend I installed a cat-less mid pipe. I previously was already running two brothers slip-ons and decided to pull the trigger and go straight pipe (well except the cats in the headers). I’m now experiencing a lopey idle.
The lope isn’t fluctuating super hard, generally seeming to still sit around 1000-1100 rpm’s. I took her out for a ride and didn’t notice any worse performance, just a choppy idle. As much as the sound is to die for, I’m definitely running lean. No stalling either.

So questions:
1. I’m obviously going to need a power commander to re-map the fuel map. I’ve seen to avoid the EX models as they can’t adjust lower rpm levels. Do I go PC3 or PC6 as PC5 was discontinued?
2. I noticed a lot of talk about throttle bottle synchronization, is this something I will need to do alongside the remap with a PC?
3. I seem to be confused on how the bikes are mapped and tuned. If I’m simply remapping the air to fuel mix, do I need to get it dynod? Is the dyno just used to specific tune to the specs of your bike?
4. I noticed everyone mentioning that resetting the battery with help flash the ECU to adjust to the new air to fuel mix on its own, but can anyone explain why the fz6 can do this? I was given ALOT of shit bike the community with them making fun and saying that simply isn’t possible as the ECU doesn’t get “wiped”. Just feel dumb for looking like an idiot.
5. I plan to also eventually down the line, advance the timing gear and get a healtech quick shifter. Will I need to additionally tune the bike after these?
6. Last but not least, will running my bike like this for the rest of the month cause any sort of harm or damage I should be aware of?
