Hey Everyone,
So today I dropped the bike off at AF1 Racing in New Braunfels, TX to have a Power Commander 3 install. Yup, you are correct, DynoJet doesn't make a PC3 for the 1125 series so I'll make one myself.
AF1 has a Factory Pro Eddy Current dyno for a 4 Gas EGA sensor. I like this set up as it allows the tuner to "see" into the combustion of the bike. The whole idea is to get the most effecient combustion for a given rpm and throttle setting. On many bikes the result is often leaner not richer. It all depends on the bike, throttle position, etc, etc.
Because Buell isn't an "open" source bike we'll be using ECM Spy, the BDDFI-III Tuner software and of course the results from the dyno sessions to make the changes to the ECU and the PC3 - brain surgery.
We will begin with a baseline dyno run. Being an Eddy Current I suspect we'll be at 119 to 122 hp at the wheel.
Usually a tuning session is pretty straight forward but because this is new territory it may take a little longer. To do this we will be using a PC3 from an early model Aprilia RSV1000. Being that the RSV and the 1125R are made by Rotax the electronics and FI are very similar. I sent AF1 photo of the FIs and a variety of other plugs a while ago so they could begin planning the project. There maybe a little splicing but nothing too major.
As far a results I'd guess we'll be in the neighborhood of 130 to 133hp and I really want a smoother throttle and a smoother running bike. Another reason I'm doing this is once the PC3 is installed follow on mods will be very easy to dyno tune into the package.
As I get results I'll post them. :thumbup:
