People are quick to praise their new piece of kit because it feels different so must be better.
OK, just to revive this old thread but so far nobody who accepted Mark's offer has responded with a review.Is it still too cold to ride? Do you reckon its crap? Can't you get it to install? Let us know so we can try and help.Pete
The engineer in me would love to understand how with all those maps and numbers available for tuning that it can be done with the seat of your pants and reading plugs but as long as the fuel map is not too lean or ignition timing too advanced I figure the results speak for themselves.
FTDI Driver Windows:If you have problems to get a connection try to install version 2.08.14 of the driver.It looks like that version 2.08.28 and .30 has problems with the new FT232R chip in some constellations.
I now have the cables recommended to me by Porterhouse. The USB cable came with a small CD that I assume contains a set of drivers necessary to use the cable. However, when I insert the CD the drivers do not automatically install. No big deal, I look for a setup.exe file. I found nothing. What should I be doing to get the drivers to install so this cable will work? I also tried to get the computer to detect new hardware with the cable plugged into the USB port, but it could not detect it.This is where I bought the cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-FTDI-FT232RL-KKL-USB-OBD-ODB-OBDII-OBD2-INTERFACE/370453504187This a picture of the files on the CD.
If one is still available, I'll take it for the Griso Pinko.
Greg,I'd be happy to come over this weekend and load the map up, or at least walk you through getting the correct cables and the read/write process on a Mac. I'm heading down to California on Tuesday morning and will be gone for about 4 weeks. So if I can be of any help, it will have to be this weekend.SD
Travis, if your bike is stock or running just a can with a dB killer that map you can check your plugs by all means but you don't have to worry as there are a host of folks running it and slightly earlier iterations and there hasn't been one problem of a mechanical nature.With the stock map with the lambda active the ECU will try and correct to overly lean settings in closed loop, now its running open loop the while time you should find a considerable improvement in fuel economy because in fact most of the factory maps are in fact far too rich!Pete
Hi,Further to Mark's generous offer to try his Griso 8V map way back last year, I decided to forget about work and stuff today and at last I have loaded the latest one I received in October 2014.When I bought the bike I soon got a bit dissillusioned with the stock map and had a local guy sort something out for me (at a price). Things were better but I still had issues with slow riding and harsh acceleration with popping on overrun - I do a lot of journeys in and out of London (40 miles or so), up the motorway and then chugging around London Streets; I was getting a bit fed up with the very lumpy slow running with clutch in and out to control at slow speeds.....Well, Mark's map (stock silencer) has been a revelation!! I played with Guzzidiag this morning, hooked up my laptop and found it all a piece of cake (I was a bit worried about f***ing everything up!). Went for a ride of about 60 miles after it was all done and I am amazed how smooth the engine and drive train have become.No more 'clutch riding' at slow speeds, constant gears through slow corners, etc.. At first I thought the acceleration seemed much softer but it's just as fast (faster) but the smoothness confused me at first. So the brakes got a lot more use as my approach speeds are much higher now.A different bike, many thanks for the opportunity Mark - I'll email you at some point but brilliant work, all your efforts greatly appreciated.
I have an 1100 map as well as the 8V map. It's built for cans with catcons and dB killers, but I'm sure I can tweak it for the Mistral with proper feedback. If it's the Hi-Pipe then it will be easy.
