This is also why the masses believe Auto Tune can't and does not work. For some there is no telling them different.
It does work. I can see my the AFR needle on my LCD-200 holding steady just below 13. This tells me I still have some tuning to do in the cruising range but it is not far off. I was just following directions without knowing about what i was doing at that point but it still worked.
Rook something amiss here. I would think you would have all fuel cell rows running tuned up to at least 7000 RPM anyway What gives ?
5th gear, 7000rpm, that's 100 mph even with my 45t sprocket. I tested this afternoon because that was the rpm I noticed on my tach as I whizzed past the sheriff SUV.
I'v been tuning each TP column from 1500 rpm to whatever rpm the max TP for said column will peak at. I'm guessing 59% throttle brought me up to about 9k and 130-140 mph...and I had to hold it there for a few seconds to be sure I was hitting the highest cell. A few seconds = a few thousand feet of road at that speed. Also a few seconds more that someone (especially someone like a police) will see me.
I think I can do the remaining TPs up to 7k. That's not too terribly long of a run if I can find another good spot because I'm understandibly hestant to do it where the same cop might see me.
Now if you start going advanced with Lean AFR's down low in the RPM window and rich up top of the window you study will be one hell of a mess. you will become discouraged and most likely give up. Easy just became real Hard.
Yeah, I know I'm not there yet. I can wait.
LOL The sheriffs visit school almost daily. One of them gave me $10 ticket for doing 90 last year then he saw me at school. Also, the lady sheriff has a kindergartener at school. She gave me a ride from the HS to elementary building last winter. There is a very, very good chance they know who is riding that bike but they are trying to not bust me. So i sorta think I better take the hint and cool it.
Rook do you remember early on when I explained you Need to slow down the speed RPM climb and this would allow the 02 sensor to get a better sniff ?...Look for a hill, do your runs in 6th. Make sense ?
Sure, I remember. I'll give 6th gear a shot and maybe even uphill if that seems safe enough. I may even try using less than max throttle for the column so the engine maxes out at a lower rpm where AT can linger to get a good sniff. I am definitely holding the engine at or near max TP for the column and peak rpm for more than a second so that I am sure I did in fact hit peak rpm. I do not recall any trims at peak rpm. Maybe at 0% and 2% TP but not after that. I'll look into it though. The AFR gauge should tell the tale. Also, I will be datalogging soon. If the target AFR in your map is 13.1ish at high rpm, I think AT is just telling me your map is working optimally with my bike in this range even at 600 feet higher elevation than you. ...but we'll have a look. You know me. I do everything BIG. Never halfway.
Make sure to explain all that the user needs to do is pretend the bike is on a Dyno. this will get them started. No shifting.
OH, did that. One gear, watch cell tracer to snap throttle to proper column, hold throttle roll to max TP for that column, DO NOT roll back off, hold steady is okay but never roll off. As long as cell tracer stays in the column and keeps climbing, I think the run is good. When max TP is reached and held and rpm levels off, LET GO of throttle. Do not touch throttle--at least do not reenter the TP column you just tuned or you just messed your trims up. It's all there Romes. The fuel dump stairway and everything. Tried to keep it short. Could have made it shorter since the tuning of each column is essentially the same process but there were a few situations I found unique to each TP.
Brings up the same question as before. How the hell did you tune those low rpm cells? In the tutorial I plan to suggest tuning in first gear below 3000 rpm and accept those trims. Then zero the target AFR for 3000 and below and tune the rest with 5th or 6th gear. That's what I did. Only thing that makes sense. I believe I am going to need to have another look at this since the LCD seems to indicate I'm rich at low rpm but no way would I try to do all those runs in 6th gear from anywhere below 3000 rpm. I don't really think 1500 rpm is good for the engine even in first gear but it probably pulls a little better with my 45 tooth than stock gearing would.
