Ordered the ignitech direct and the TPS from Liam at FastBikeGear. Looking forward to getting it. Ian I would be interested in seeing that map also if possible?
Hey, you’ll have great fun with it. It is a great piece of kit. It’s great trying the differences in different curves especially for low down tractability on road riding. I’m just curious where the Dyno operator figures optimum where maximum advance starts. I’ve got mine at 3500 rpm at the moment. I’m trying out on my Elefant now.
Ok, I got my laptop out and it all set up, however as the bikes a little torn down I'm gonna have to do it over the weekend as I noticed there's a few connectors needing hooked up and I ran out of time today.
The Ignitech box I fitted to my 97 M900 over the summer has transformed it, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. I have another now ready to fit to my 900SS Project. Nasher.
Ok, as promised!! It's set up with the TPS so I included the 2D and the 3D versions. I use one of the outs for the shift light, which is currently set at 8000 as it revs a lot easier than a standard engine. I'll probably reduce this down as it doesn't need to be up there to enjoy. Hope it helps. I can list my mods if you need
Hi Ian, Thanks for the pics, it's really interesting to see. I'm amazed at the amount of advance you have at the top end... are you running high comp pistons too? Here's a couple of pics as to what Ive figured out works on my bike for a comparison if anybody is interested......
Great to see both set ups, I will set mine up with the TPS and start with the supplied map but really unsure about adjusting etc. Apart from the FCR's, open air box, K&N filter and a lightend flywheel mine is standard with regards to pistons etc.
Update on mine...Ignitech unit arrived this morning with lead set up for the TPS when that arrives from NZ. Couldn't wait so bolted it on and went for a quick blast!! Stock map and can defo feel the difference low down, bike seems to run alot smoother low down and then pull cleanly from there. Seat of the pants stuff but it does feel more urgent. Be interesting to see if the TPS will improve it when that arrives. I have no idea about changing the curve for the better regarding the advance etc so may have to get it on a dyno. Question for those in the know...does that mean the dyno would need to run the ignitech software to adjust the map etc?
You can download the software easily from their website. You could leave your laptop with them, but they may want it on their computers, ask them. For the TPS all you do is set up the 2D map and then click the box for TPS and set the 0 throttle and 100% throttle voltage levels. Then when you click the TPS map it automatically comes up with a basic 3D map, which can further be fine tuned. Hope that makes sense
Hi Ian, ok thanks for the advice. with regards to the TPS when setting are the voltage levels set automatically or do they need to be manually set? Is it a case of fully closed to fully open and they set themselves, bit like a PC3 setup. Thanks for the advice.
Yes, you select it at zero throttle opening, click a button, then fully open and click that. Mine came in at a little over 4 volts at 100 percent throttle.
Update again...TPS fitted and callibrated etc, manage to fit the + and - feed wires the wrong way round to start with in the TPS connector to the loom which gave some weird readings!!! All sorted and as per Ian's I seem to be reading just above 4 volts at 100% opening, although at 0% its reading 0.175 Volts, do you think that indicates its not fully closed? Anyway looking forward to trying it out on the road when the weather allows!!!
Another update after refitting my freshly serviced FCR's. I seem to be getting some sort of interferrance with the ignitech and TPS. It's a strange one as it idles fine it's only happening when riding along at around 4k or above revs. It just seems to have a cough or misfire and then runs fine. Not happening all the time but its there, tried re routing the cables to the ignitech away from the HT leads (which are the upgraded ones from Exige) but its still there! Swapped back to the stock ignition units and its runs fine all be it not as smooth on and off the throttle. Any ideas?
Paul maybe not interfearance as such, bad choice of words. But something is not right with the ignitech setup that was not there before!
Hi, it sounds to me like the carbs need a little bit of fine tuning after they've been serviced. (I'm no expert) 4K you're on the needle, try moving it half a notch, which way depends on wether it feels lean or rich, I'd guess seeing as the air is really cold at the moment I'd raise it (richen) Did you upload a new map into the Ignitech? The map it's supplied with is just a generic map that a 4 stroke engine will run on. Hence you have to set the base advance etc. I spent ages trying different curves, all just riding the bike by feel, the differences are noticeable tho. I also fitted a retard switch to compare 2 maps on one ride.
