Leaner motors cause damage. Fuel is the driving force of the explosion inside the cylinder. Granted too much fuel will bog an engine, but too much air will KILL an engine!

I pretty certain this guy knows what he's talking about lol, now go play with your civic!!

@bolanos777 The way I understand, Trying to make it simple. For max power you can richen the fuel AFR up to a point, But when the motors AFR is to rich it carbons up the cylinder head & piston, and the motor burns a lot of fuel. To make better MPG you don't go as far, So the motor is a bit leaner. Not to lean, or you get spark knock / detonation. You start to lose power, and can hurt the motor, If you run in that condition. You can even burn a holes in the piston by running to lean a AFR. My 2 c

@bolanos777 the three buttons? high/mid/low are for your RPM ranges in each gearing. you can select a range by pressing the button and it will display the air-fuel mix for that range. holding down the 3 buttons at the same time allows you to perform small on the spot tweaks (about 0.1 +/- RATIO, not a measurement for tappets!) each led from top dead center of your valves through your fuel injectors. you can do this for each of the ranges. if you've had it mapped, let it be.

does the power commander work on a bike with carbs or does it have to be fuel injection?
