Dynojet future / what does this ruling mean ?
« on: January 09, 2008, 12:01:27 PM »

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced recently that it concluded an investigation against Dynojet Research, Inc. At issue was the company's "Power Commander" that can be used to alter the air-fuel mixture and engine timing of on- and off-road motorcycles. CARB said that the installation of these devices would adversely affect the emissions control systems of vehicles that were certified by the original equipment manufacturers to comply with the agency's emissions standards. Dynojet has now certified a California version of the "Power Commander" and has agreed to pay $1,000,000 in penalties to the California Air Pollution Control Fund.

buy what you can off the shelves now for future rides, I guess

unbelievable.

elsewhere the point was made about a single carbon-belching school bus getting no notice at all from CARB/EPA.  I don't know how many times I've said similar things when I see a single POS rolling down the road, smoke billowing.  An obvious offender.

Yet these guys want to take on motorcycle tuning???

The whole point of tuners is to make more power by being more efficient !!!!

There is currently already a thread concerning this here - CARB Sues Dynojet over Power Commander. Future replies can be made in that thread. Thanks.
