Congratulations, ninjamaster! You've mastered the ECU. You must have been going nuts trying to find that glitch. I was about to throw it in a ditch. Yesterday morning, I finally gave your ECU a controlled workout.
When I warm up the bike, I am running low rpm. I'm shifting up to the glitch now. I felt the throttle pop, not out the pipe, but through the ram chamber.
I then thought about that ECU times the rpm spot. As you accel up to 2,300 rpm (+/- ~ 50/100 rpm) it has a miss right about there. When I asked about that low speed area or where the hit happens, it happens to be in the same area, as of taking the same rpm, we hit 6th and just cruise along in or about that range.
I know I am cruising at 2,700 rpm in 6th for my style or riding. 3,200 rpm is also a peak range in 6th to sustain around that 65 mph. So somewhere in between that area [2.1/2.3 rpm], are we not close to 2,800 rpm? It kept sending a pop every now and then at that rpm, right? I had to edit, meaning the pop occurs at around 2,200 rpm.
Here I am with a warm engine and I have this pop or cylinder losing fire no matter cold or hot. If we follow the fire sequence, I now can see somehow, ninja, we hit that 1-2-4-3 fire sequence, think of firing or missing a cylinder with a no fire. Bingo! Stuck on the side of the road it fires right back up. I sure does.
Somehow, there is fire lost to keep the sequence going. That is why you had that bike stop running is my guess. And now for me to wait for that side of the road event to happen, I need to stay longer in that rpm range and I my not have it happen where I am not cruising for long periods.
I was curious to see what a bad ECU felt like; Now I know. She is junk, ninja. Thanks for letting me try it out. I'll send it back. And since you say the ECU cleaned that glitch, I changed back to my ECU and the glitch went away, obviously. Good call, ning.
Actually, I'd like to keep it a little longer, so I can make one more change [back] to the original injectors. If you need it back soon, look how long it took me to finally put the time into it. Oh, I've been swapping ECU's to the dentist and when I first got it. But now I get it. Yesterday sent it home where I could step back and think how this thing responds to that rpm and what it does.
