Calibrating gear position on your Power Commander V is essential for accurate performance tuning. Riders who want precise quick-shifter control or data logging need this setup done correctly. Today, we’ll walk through two methods to complete gear calibration. Plus, we’ve included a downloadable PDF with full instructions for easy reference.
Why Gear Calibration Matters
Accurate gear calibration ensures your motorcycle’s tuning works seamlessly. Without it, features like quick shifting or gear-dependent tuning may not function correctly. In short, calibration helps your bike deliver consistent, reliable performance.
Before You Begin
Speed calibration must be completed first.
Make sure the engine is running before calibration.
Perform gear calibration on a dyno for the most accurate results.
Method 1: Dynamic Gear Calibration
Go to Power Commander Tools > Calibrate > Gear Position.
Start the bike and verify the engine is running.
Put the bike in first gear. Hold the throttle steady, then click Calibrate for Gear 1.
Shift into second gear. While holding the throttle steady, click Calibrate for Gear 2.
Continue the same process for each gear.
Once complete, click OK.
Optionally, click Advanced to manually enter gear widths. Do this only if Dynojet support instructs you.
Method 2: Manual Gear Calibration
If you can’t use the first method, you may enter gear values manually. These values vary depending on your motorcycle model. Contact Dynojet technical support to get the correct specifications for your bike.
Pro Tip for Riders
Always calibrate on a dyno for accuracy. Road testing can cause throttle fluctuation, which leads to incorrect values. A steady throttle input during calibration ensures the best results.
