sorry to steal this thread but it will be helpful for us 08 510smr owners.. ceeco, in what way does the power commander help..? does it "re-flash" the stock ecu just like how some cars "re-flash" theirs? i got my dealer to do something to my EFI settings the other day. i told them to use that 100.2 setting to my FB1 but was told my bike became unridable with that setting. JFH, this is only applicable if u already have the "power-up" kit. (arrow slip-on, lambda plug, sensor plug) I dont know what setting they used but they said, for the "re-tune" they had to put back the O2 sensor. well, a few days passed n the bike was beginning to feel nice. (they said the ecu needs to re-learn) but yesterday, i had problems starting the bike n found out that my negative terminal for my battery was actually loose. i fiddled with it n somehow, it cleared my speedo, fastest speed, time on the meter. now, the bike seems to be hesitant in the low end n has problems in the top too.. could it be that my EFI settings were lost when the battery got disconnected..?
Restukey did a fine job of explaining the Power Commander workings. In a nut shell iBeat does not allow for precise enough fuel adjusting so the Power Commander is still needed to really tune the motor in all areas of the map. iBeat adjust fuel through the entire map based on what you enter into FB1. The power Commander will allow you to add some fuel here take some away there and just fine tune the fuel map at any rpm, throttle pos., gear, etc.. I have been so busy and broke I have not ordered mine but plan to soon and will go back to AF1 Racing to have the guys tune it on the Factory Pro Dyno.
I am not sure why the shop says it wont run on the 100.2 throttle pos. setting?? Did you/they confuse that with the FB1 parameter?? It would make sense as 100.2 there would be like pouring gas down the intake from a cup! ha ha! I had to sit and fine tune my throttle pos. to get the 100.2 setting. This is a pretty sure thing backed up by many owners and there is even a factory memo that Ferraci released detailing the process. You can find it linked in a thread at ThumperTalk.
****I just re-read your post and see you did use the 100.2 for FB1. There we want a setting of 110 and the other 2 FB's should be 100. Then set throttle position sensor to the 100.2 setting. The throttle pos. adjustment is done with the bike warm but not running and can be completed in 15 min. easy. You do not have to mess with the o2 sensor or anything else..... warm bike, plug in iBeat, adjust throttle stop using screw behind black plastic cover on the right side of motor. 0 reading at closed throttle and when you turn throttle wide open you want 100.2 reading. I had to play with it for 6-8 adjustments before I found the 100.2, I got way off base once and just had to go by memory on the # of threads showing on throttle stop screw to get me back to #'s that even made sense. Small micro adjustments when you get close. This will work, I promise****
Hijack but relevant sorta....
I did my first Track day with the new 510 today. It was mid sized road course and was ideal for a 600cc sportbike. I did all right on the straights but just had a blast closing down on brakes and crackin' the throttle seconds earlier than the big bikes to pull up even on corner exit:boxing:
This was my first time with a race quality sumo on the track and I want more!! my last race bike was a Honda RS250 gp bike and it had alot of the same fun factor in the corners. Cant wait to get to one of our tighter tracks later this year.
