Thanks mate. I'll see if I can find someone to TIG it.

Hey all,

The garage broke the seat latch by not hooking the seat correctly (seat was resting on top the latch bridge, bent the bridge and snapped a weld). Now I need to get it re-welded. Can...

Jeff - I did some more messing around with the bike. The oil is definitely OK, ie its just over the bottom of the sprocket. I listened thru a tube and the loudest knock is from the middle of the "V"...

Mines an 04 motor yes. I'd text/call you but I guess you're in the USA? I'm in the UK so that would work out expensive :D

Interested to see this video though. Any other avenues available?
...

Thanks for the reply Crash.

Its not the chain, I checked the tension. Pretty sure the oil level is good, I'll check it anyway.

The sound is like a bag of marbles has been thrown in there. ...

Hey chaps.

I had an issue where the chain tensioner came loose, causing the chain to flap around a bit (sorry, I don't know what the chain from the engine to the gearbox is called). I tightened...

Welcome lightweight, hope you enjoy your time here and hope you finish your service intact :) We have quite a few serving/retired servicemen here on these forums. There's a thread dedicated to it...

Got it sorted at last. Turns out that even though I had idle closed loop enabled it didn't work. I removed it and added it again. It was then showing proper closed loop and the idle stabilised.
...

Hmm. Went and had a fiddle with the bike. Upped the CSE about 3 points at the 2 lowest settings, set the 4 idle blocks for front and rear (basically the 4 that are lit up when in idle) up 5 points...

It was literally just that. I call that the TP adjust. Was wondering if there was another idle adjustment :)
Looking forward to some tuning time on the bike using your posts as something to go by. ...

I'm glad the post was that long, it has the detail that is required :)
So, in short, you enriched the idle in the map, increased the CSE a little to help, then corrected EGO.

I remember spending...

Negative: please let me know what you did to fix your bike.

I am downloading mono and will try it tomorrow morning when I have time and a cold engine.

I hope this version of ECM Spy works OK...

Sounds promising. Now for the daft question: where is the idle correction? Is it in ECMSpy?

Glad yours is working now Negative :)

Ich, any ideas why I am experiencing issues with my bike? I have to say, when I made changes to the table it didn't seem to make any difference to the idle, so I'm eager to see what Ich comes back...

Update: I changed the cold start enrichment for the two coldest settings, but couldn't get the bike stable.

This morning I decided to ride it to work and couldn't even start it. It was turning...

OK I got the bike up to 180C last night, reset the TPS and AFV, and it was idling fine.

This morning tried to start it from cold, it wasn't idling high enough to keep running. Only way to stop it...

@somecallmery: I didn't realise youl could edit that table directly. I'd rather not mess with it just yet but its worth considering if I still have issues. The bikes not built from British weather...

How did you do that?

Thanks for your help rchuff, I will redo the TPS and AFV at 100% enrich and report back. Expect some lovely karma if you are right ;)

I appreciate the TPS should be done when the bike is warm, but if I do that I need to readjust the TPS to enable the bike to idle when cold. This is the issue I have.

...or have I completely...

OK here is some random data from the bike after setting the afv to 110 (from cold):
I had to increase the TPS to 7.2% in order to get an idle of 1K+ to stop stalling.
As the engine warmed I reduced...

Negative: the best advice I can offer you is to back up your current ROM, back up the maps as well in case, and back them up again somewhere safe! Also don't flash from stock to race if you ever...

100% when at 140C operational temp and 100% enrichment.

Thanks for the ideas so far.

When I pulled the plugs I also checked the fit of the HT leads. The leads were replaced late last Summer so they should be good. I guess I could pull the cables and...

Hi Chaps,

What the issue is: will not idle high enough whilst cold to prevent stalling. When at operating temp (140C) it idles fine, with a little hunting. Rides absolutely OK when hot.

What...
