Ride 5th March

Kali ni ride on a Saturday pulak, sebabnya...the next day ada ride lagi..yeah syioook oooo. Mana lagi kalau tak ke Grik di Perak Darul Banding :-). This ride is significant because boleh cuba try test, FI Tuner yang baru di pasang.....klu tak caya tgk last 2 post haaa....

Geng yang sanggup bangun pagi2 Sabtu

Jgn tak tahu, ni pengantin baru, baru nak keluar jalan2. Selama ni tak keluar rumah. Katanya pengantin pompuan ni sgt suka masuk kona. Dia yg lean abg dia biasa jek. Aku yg menyarung baju "Busa Nation" yg lawa pun tak dapat menyorok perut yg kian bermaharajalela...tau tak pa, kan!

Sembunyi perut belakang windshield sambil menahan nafas, lagi 10s, buleh biru mulut....

Silap!

Baru lepas connect USB to FI Tuner, tak sempat nak pasang balik tail plastics, terasalah sangat nak rasa camana throttle response...tak sabar2.

Bila dah best punya adjust mapping sana sini, terasa lambat dah dok tune sorang2.

Jadi hero pun, pasang la balik fairing belakang.... till the final push in of the seat cowling. Then...teringat, aku tak pasang lock cable balik, macamana nak buka klu nak pasang pillion seat !!!

Maka - usung

la moto pi kedai Ah Long BM. Sifu yang baru pulang dari Bagan, terus turun tangan assist his young mechanic - photo sebelah :-P

Rongkah macam2, barulah mudguard panel belakang' berjaya' diturunkan. Dan aku pun tersenyum manja kepada Sifu yang dah berpeluh ketiak.

Waaallaaah! terbukak dah, lega....boleh sambung tuning FI module tuuuhh. Map mana satu nak pakai harini ya?

HealTech FI Tuner

Just got a Fuel Injection controller unit. Cost about RM700 and it is a BLAST!

Easy to install. Should take about 1 hr (read the manual at least 3x as I wrongly cut the TPS and RPM lines - run the procedure through your mind at least once). 20minutes to get to the point when u start to splice the connection. 20 minutes to get the connections fixed up and 20 minutes to route and tie up loose ends. The unit will sit on the standard ECM at 1/3rd the size of the PC5.

Improves overall acceleration especially at 4K-6K RPM. Eliminates lean mixture in this RPM range caused naturally by the aftermarket exhaust and air filter (R77 Yoshimura and DNA airfilter). Seat of the pants horsepower increase of at least 5-10hp along with a crisp throttle feeling.

It makes overtaking feels twice quicker and you tend to ride like a maniac on trunk roads. Strong pull even at 1 gear position higher than normal.

Minus point - higher fuel consumption at least 30% more. I found this out during the ride today. Thats why the next feature it offers is handy. 3 maps, selectable with full, half and no throttle twist in "ON" ignition pos'n. I chose the zero map and used less gas on the way home.

All this comes unoptimized. My next plan is to Dyno Tune it at Sunway Cycle.
