Mark (TLRMan) is my hero I can't believe the difference in how my baby is running. WHAT MARK DOES IS BEYOND AMAZING!!!! So here is the long and short of it....
The Problem:
- Wicked bad throttle lag and my idle with my full arrow exhaust system was revving quite a bit, almost to the point where at very low RPM, it felt like I would fall off the bike if I wasn't careful...
-FI light was constantly on, even though we thought the correct wire had been removed to fix that problem.... Stupid f*n translations from Italian to English... couldn't even get the pin # or color correctly.
The process of solution... hooked her up to the computer and plugged in the PC3 to see what she's running... I had the general map for the arrow exhaust loaded and we couldn't figure out why the computer was not recognizing the RPMs. So after quite a bit of problem solving with error codes finally revealed, we realized that the instructions for the Arrow/PC3 installation dictated that the wrong wire be pulled... After looking on the "wonderful site" of gixxer.com, we were led to another exhaust's manual which told us the correct wire to pull.... So we soldered the cut wire and got the FI light to turn off... YAY no more error code! But, another problem, we still weren't getting RPM readings on the computer... So after a little bit more of scratching our heads, the bf and Mark picked up on some other things (throttle bodies balanced and stuff with wiring harnesses) to get it working properly and VIOLA, we get RPM readings.... after that it only took a couple of runs down the street and on the "dyno" to get it how I liked it....
So again, long story short, I've fallen back in love with my bike all over again, and can't even begin to describe how happy I am that my bike is finally all fixed up like it should have been when I first bought it!!!! THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH Mark, I know you could have found other ways to spend your day and I really really appreciate everything you did.
