Fuel Injection and Exhaust 3 Years, 6 Months ago

I know you guys probably get tired of these dumb questions, but here goes anyway.
I have a friend that has a Suzuki C90 Fuel Injection. He is talking about exhaust, but says that it is pretty expensive putting the exhaust and the power commander on the bike.
Does a fuel injected bike require the power commander, when only changing the exhaust?
I don't know if power commander is the correct terminology or if it is a brand name. What I am talking about is the module that controls the fuel injection. Thanks

Re:Fuel Injection and Exhaust 3 Years, 6 Months ago

I'm no expert by any means but on my fuel injected bike I added after market pipes and then I was told I had to go to the dealer for a new computer download or add a power commander. I went to the dealer and had a new computer download done and have had no problems at all. My friend did not have the download or power commander done when the pipes were changed and he started having problems 10K miles later. Then he had the download done and it straightened the bike out.

No problems here with aftermarket exhaust. Runs like a top. As long as you have the oxygen sensors in the pipes, the computer should adjust fairly well. Rich
