Trying to narrow down an air/fuel issue... (SOLVED! - TPS Recalibration)

[Rembrant]

I do not have any type of Kawi source/contact, if I did I would be asking them, surely out of curiosity someone will make the call?

I have asked the only guy I know that is deeply into these ECU's, and he has not responded in over a week or so. His non-response may be an answer in itself, but I'll wait patiently to hear back regardless. Whatever the answer is, I will be sure to share it with everybody;).

If anybody knows Ivan of Ivan's Performance in NY, he would definitely know the answer. I've talked to him several times over the years, but 'm not calling him to ask...and he doesn't do email;). He has his own custom made ECU software which is quite involved, so if anybody knows, he would;).

Just read through the COG posts, curious as to what the UK guys are saying, but I am not interested in yet another forum.  Anyone care to share?

Didn't know that, I  am a member.  FWIW, lots of great folks and info in things not discussed here.  Sign up, what's to lose???   tp

Very good people.  They don't post as much as us but very good info that is sometimes cross posted here.

Sorry if my chart was offensive... Wasn't intended to be... As Brian said, we need fuel readings.

At the same time, if you ran the tests at 25% throttle, that could be outside of a "Safety net" if it's in there, as others have mentioned. 




And as far as the engine temp goes, I don't know why it would matter when you did the calibration, but it could matter what you experience right off the bat... Engines always chug for the first bit while they're cold if you put a load on them.  Some of us don't always have time to let the engine fully warm up before taking off. Not that anyone on here needs that explanation.. Just continuing to dig my own grave... lol

Being they are 5-8 hours ahead of us, it's sometimes hard to keep a conversation going.  Found the same with other brand/model forums based across the pond too. 

FWIW, some of the best info I have gained over the years, has been on BMW forums from members from OZ and NZ.  Those guys LOVE their motorcycles... tp

Stephen, from post 1, I have believed your video showed something more than dirty pots and cables.  Maybe someday we will finally know what that something is.  You proved a change in the video.  Have you retried the test at the test change baseline, so as to replicate the RPM acceleration difference?   Your fan, tomp

Good luck.  Just wasted 15 minutes trying to register.  Is it 1352, 1352cc, or 1352 cc, or 1,352 etc?  Do I use ZG/GTR as model, C14, ZG 1400?  Yes, as frustrated as Kirby trying to crack a nut

  1400 is the correct answer.  I tried those others, too....Need to keep it simple.  GTR 1400= 1400, try that.

Wow, so they want uninformed members joining?  I will try ONE more time...


And, thank you

Try recalibrating your mouse: turn the computer on, then push the mouse forward as far as it will go, then reverse it as far as it will go. Do this two times and turn the computer off. Then when you restart the computer, it will run faster and you will be able to get into the UK forum.

Sorry Chet, just could not resist....

OK Brian, remember they are all asleep at this time....   1400=1400, not 1352 or any thing else.  Remember they are Brits.

I tried pushing the mouse, but the tail broke..  I couldn't find the power button so I turned off the main circuit breaker.  After being chased around the house (twice, in each direction) I run faster (than my wife).  When I got back in the house I was a new member in the UK forum   Not convinced that these steps actually had anything to do with being accepted, so we will need other non members do the same thing.  Just remember to enter in an incorrect engine size for the bike

You know it's not about accuracy, but about keeping computer troll systems from being a part of their group.  Nice bunch, over there, for sure.  Don't go if you don't want to join, like I did... tp

Yup!!  No issues, just venting a bit...

[B.D.F.]

Yeah, been dealing with them on and off for years. Almost fluent in the language although sometimes the individual use of some words still throw me.

I joined that forum quite a while ago and stop by now and then. And yep, seems like a nice enough group but again, their talking about destinations and various local situations falls short of a Yank's understanding a lot of the time. This is not to imply that I follow what is going on on this forum though.... :-)

When you get my age, you take time to listen to others, and make sure you don't miss anything important, before you are just ashes and dust.   I love to visit with folks from all over the world, now.  It was just a distant dream when I was young.  Today, a reality, thanks to this interweb thing.... tp

Stephen,

Nossir, nothing has been offensive in any way, and I didn't mean to sound too gruff about any of this stuff either;)./.

All is good on this end;). Carry on folks...I'm just along for the ride;).
