New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Interestingly it seems that the 1400's are speed limited in 5th and 6th gear by limiting throttle plate movement. That seems weird but entirely believable!Pete
Nanny state bastards . So , if I understand this correctly, you can alter values on only certain tables and only on the base map specific to your ecu. I am actually happy with the linear throttle response as is. Looking at the plugs I would guess it runs a bit lean and the lumpy idle I could live without. I suspect the idle issue is likely related to timing and not fuel. Look forward to a fix for that issue. Nice work! Beetle , I will send you the cali and the Tuono maps for your library as soon as winter gives it up here. Thanks for responding all you guy's
Mapping the 7sm is quite different from earlier ecu's. Since it's drive by wire, the tables don't relate to the throttle, but often they call it "torque request". There is not a fixed link between your hand and most tables.
Logging shows fuel is cut on a closed throttle until approx 3000 RPM. However, the stock map is quite lean at this point. It is my understanding that the secondary coils start firing at 2750 RPM, which may exacerbate the issue. Modifying the fuel correction tables can reduce this affect to virtually non existent.
Is that why when I cut the throttle at about 3,300rpm and it goes down to 2,700rpm it sounds like the jake brake on a big rig? I have Mistrals which probably exacerbate the problem.
Just for curiosity sake...are you saying you can remove the speed limiter with your mapping? I'd be interested in knowing just how fast a Cali 1400 could go without the limiter. I'm not sure what the point of the limiter is in the first place. The Griso has more hp and goes about 130mph. Why limit the California to 125?
Yes.I never said I could remove the speed limiter. I'm not even sure I'd want if I could. It may even be an inherent feature of the ABS unit (which sends the speed signal to the ECU).The 7SM map is huge. There's more data tables and on/off flags in there than you can poke a stick at. We've identified a few. If it's a flag that can be switched off, do you want to volunteer to test it?Besides, the Griso can do at least 140.
Stay tuned. I don't think we'll be getting a Cali doing 140 just yet, but smoother on the overrun is definitely happening.
I concur. My Cali Custom's top speed is rpm limited. In sixth gear it runs right up to the rev limiter (128 mph indicated).
Would someone please remind me what the rev limit is?
7000? Surely not. Really?
I thought it was 6,500 rpm.
It's geared to go 20mph for every 1,000rpm in 6th. It's 80mph at 4,000, runs almost exactly 100mph at 5,000rpm and 120mph at 6,000rpm. Redline is 7,000rpm. If it would pull it...the bike would top out at 140mph.
