PC III vs. Water

Hello fellow VFR Owners. I recently bought an 02 and have added a few mods. PC III, Remus Exhaust, K&N and O2 Eliminators. The fellow I bought the items from had an 04 and had the bike on the Dyno with all of the above items installed, so I am using that MAP. So far everything is great! I am really loving this bike.

While washing the bike this weekend I got water on the PC III, I wiped it off and seems to be fine. My question is, should I be covering the PC III? I ended up putting a plastic bag over it until I was done washing the bike. Should I have it covered all the time? What are others doing to protect their PC's from water?

Thanks!

 

Woah double-take... My nickname is PDub (initials are P.W.) and I just bought a 6th gen VFR, and live in Ontario!!

Not to mention our post count is the same at the time of writing this... spooky!

Anyways, back on topic!

 

For some reason I can't get the powercommander.com site to open on my computer but I found a faq page on the dynojet uk site that will answer your question. According to this
DynoJet UK Support - Frequently Asked Questions - Power Commander
the PC is a sealed unit and you don't need to worry about water hurting it.

 

Very spooky! My initials are P.W. also, been called PDub by friends for years.

I am in London.

 

Ya, I saw that info and a few posts on other sites as well. Some of the posters were experiencing problems after their Power Commander got wet. Wanted to know if anyone here has direct experience with this. Would really hate to kill the thing by getting it wet.

 

as long as you have the little rubber plugs in the harness thingy ma bob and the usb port you should be golden....

 

Thanks, I will have to check for those when I get home.

 

I've had the PCII on My '99 for years with no problems from getting it wet. I imagine the PCIII would be the same. Just avoid blasting it directly (which is pretty unlikely anyway ) and you should be fine.
