1) You need to remove the left / center fairing to install the Power Commander. You will need to remove the fuel tank to remove the 'flies.
2) Any JIS #2 screwdriver at least about 6" (er, 150 mm) or longer will do. I personally prefer to use JIS #2 bits with a 1/4" drive ratchet and extension so I can control the down-pressure better but that is merely my choice. They can be a bit hard to come by but this place has a set of them:
http://www.rjrcooltools.com/shop_item_detail.cfm?subcat_ID=89 I have used both a long screwdriver and ratchet w/ bits successfully but prefer the ratchet and bits.
3) Yes. The nothing in the bike ECU is effected by installing a Power Commander, so when changing ECU (the bike's) to ECO mode, the overall mixture will still be slightly leaner as it would be stock.
4) Yes, you will get a slightly better running bike with a Power Commander on an otherwise stock bike. But as C-14's run so well IME, I do not know that it is worthwhile really.

I have read all the threads on reflash versus Power Commander so I do not want to open that can.
My questions are what has to be removed from the bike to install a PC and remove the secondaries?
What is a good JIS set that includes the long one for removing the secondaries that also includes other sizes that my be needed on the bike?
With a PC installed when you go to ECO mode does the PC alter the ECO map by the same number of points?
Has anyone installed a PC without pulling the secondaries, if so what were the results?
Thanks for any help.
