SL Cans and chip

Don't google him, send him an email: malarone@gmail.com
or go on the AF1 forum and send him a PM.
Be prepared to tell him what is your bike's setup (airbox, exhaust etc) and he'll be able to select an appropriate map for you.

I have the SL cans and Renegade air filter on my Falco. The Gabro chip needs some fine tuning (fiddling with the trim pots on the ECU) before everything is happy. I haven't got an exhaust gas analyser handy, nor the time to faff about with it all, so I put the stock SL chip back in for the moment.
Perhaps when the penguins stop dancing in our street and the sun comes back I'll have a go at sorting it out.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
could you please post a pic of the SL chip so i can se which way it fits to the daughter board?Viking wrote:I have the SL cans and Renegade air filter on my Falco.

I don't know, it just doesn't feel right and it might just be my perception. I fitted the open air kit as well.zoidberg wrote:i'm not trying, someone else is.
How do you know its running lean? does it get alot hotter than usual?
how can the fuelling be set afterwards?
am i just better off with a power commander?
Temperature wise it's within a degree or two of where it normally was.
When I said fuelling I was talking about mixture adjustment for CO levels, and trim pot adjustment.
Power commanders should be the last thing to do really, depending on your bike mods.
Interesting....
My SL chip looks nothing like that.

At the left-hand end there is a notch in the EEPROM, with a matching mark on the daughter-board. There is a matching 'U' shaped curve in the white line that's hidden by the blob of glue.
All you need to do is match up all the notches and away you go. If there's a marking not visible, have a very close look at the actual circuit board. Pin 1 of a chip _should_ have a square solder pad, and all the rest are round.
