Wideband tuning?

The midpipe is fine, try to ensure no leaks at the slipjoint right in front of it.

The heater will draw up to 8 amps but this is an intermittent load so I would not consider it an issue. keep in mind you can not run with a wideband turned off, a cold sensor will foul.
 
Thanks for the info Old Colt. Those Tech Edge units look very nice - think I'll go that route when the time comes based off your recommendation.

In your experience, what's the best way to hook up the controller to the bike's wiring harness? An up to 8 amp intermittent draw is quite the load considering the high beam draws 5 amps. For safety's sake and so it won't flatten the battery it seems like you'd want the controller to be switched on/off by the ignition key and fuse-protected. :-k

Just double checking my documents, the 2J1 calls for a 5 amp fuse in the power input, so it clearly draws less than what I stated previously.

You want it on a switched circuit, coil feed would be logical. Anything switched either directly by the key or the bar switch.
 
Okay, Wideband Tuning.

Here is my story and I am sticking too it. :-\\\

Well,

Last Spring I bought a new bike to ride while I was supposed to be restoring the GS700E.

And, then I got a little sidetracked. Way sidetracked.....

I do run a LC-1/DB gauge kit on my little 200cc China bike as a stand alone. Did this for a while, but the data bug had bit, and has not let go. lol

I am now running the LMA3 and logging on a LM-1.

AFR
Acceleration (G force)
Speed
MAP
CHT
RPMs

It is basically a rolling Dyno in real time. I can tell when the AFR changes throughout the day. Jetting is a snap. One can go through several jet sizes without even pulling a plug.



Anyway, long story short, $1000 worth of electronics on a Chinese 2008 Lifan LF200-B, which cost $2500 out the door. Bwaaaaa-hahahaha.....

It has been fun. Just be careful, it can be addicting....

Now, back on track. Waiting on $1500 worth of parts for the 700E which will be in next week, and the tuning equipment will then be swapped over to the 700E. I'll post some logs when I get it all set up.

It is not too cheap for a whole set-up, but worth its weight in gold. I recommend running a LC-1 and DB gauge for tuning at minimum.

Or those who like to do it old school, that is cool as well. Have done it for years as well. :)


Peace,

Eric
