Premium Member ULEWZ Posted February 17, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is bizarre. Nels broke my bike in on the dyno. He didn't offer no free tune then :-) damn, go back pronto. I need that tune. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

gabefzr6 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Along with the speed limiter being deactivated, I would also like to have the TCS default to off (TCS light on) upon start-up. Then, if possible, have the TCS button be functional while in motion. I hope once the tune is available that the vendor will post to let us know what programming he can do. 2008 Street Triple G 2015 FJ-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Anyone got anywhere with the ecu reflash yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx2ride Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 sorry guys, I backed out of using my bike. But can't say enough good things about Nels service. He said they have another bike in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritwalker2222 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Has anyone used the ftecu to tune their bike? Pretty pricy compared to similar setups with other bikes. But a better option than a 1 time change, IMO. Plus I assume it can be used for balancing the throttle bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an entirely mechanical process, adjusting vacuum pressure in 2 cylinders to match the primary. You need a set of vacuum gauges and a screwdriver, after removing the tank and airbox to get access. There's a thread here somewhere showing the process.

bgigharbor Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Since the fj-09 radiator fan blows forward, seems like there would be a point in lowering the temp the fan came on would actually make for a heat transfer inefficiency while moving. In other words, if the fan came on while moving I am not sure but what the bike would actually run hotter. Just something I was thinking in terms of picking a lower temp range for the fan (while reflashing the ecu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my hand in front of the radiator and I felt hot air coming out through the front of the radiator. Are you sure it was air being forced forward through the radiator, or maybe heat radiating off the radiator? The fan will suck air through a basically circular area of the radiator, leaving the rest of it to give off heat as designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my hand in front of the radiator and I felt hot air coming out through the front of the radiator. Next time, place a hand near the gap in the frame on the left side, level with the top of the engine - you will feel a blast of hot air coming out when the fan is on. As stated above, when the bike is still, hot air will radiate away from the radiator in all directions. When the bike is moving forwards, the airflow through the radiator is usually enough to cool the engine, with heated air exiting past the top of the engine, through the frame. The fan simply mirrors the same process by sucking air if the bike is still or moving slowly. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

I put my hand in front of the radiator and I felt hot air coming out through the front of the radiator. Where do you live, Antarctica? I'm up in cloudy Vancouver and mine comes on at 105C all the time. Actually the fan only came on a couple days ago because I let it run after a ride (with a floor fan on). I don't drive in much traffic and that is where the temp rises. Sunday was 96 here in places (Key Peninsula WA) and as long as I was moving temps were less than 195. I'll have it come on again sometime soon on a warm day (want to make sure it is working while still under warranty). I'll check more carefully this time. Last time I just held my hand briefly in front of the radiator because I could hear the fan sound (for the first time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgigharbor Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I forced the fan to come on again today to check it out better. There is a small amount of air coming forward out of the radiator in the center of the fan which fooled me. The bulk of the air is indeed pushed back through the fairing channels.
