You'll need an ODB2 to USB cable with the FTDI chipset. Might be difficult to modify the tune and a professional Dyno tuner might be the best route to take. Good luck  2

New Members / New Lurker from Surrey« Last post by Skid on Yesterday at 01:45:32 pm »Hello everyone,
I just thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Chessington in Surrey, England and I've wanted one of these bikes for a long time. But after three years on a V Strom 1000 i finally made the switch. I've had my 2014 Tiger for around three weeks now and I'm loving it. I look forward to picking everyones brains about the bike. Cheers. 5

Maintenance, Servicing, and Mechanical issues / Re: The End Of The Road or a new beginning . . . . . .« Last post by Javaman on 22 September, 2023, 07:22:31 pm »Originally Posted by Paul2bikes Exactly . . . . I’ve been querying the very same contradiction. The first few attempts at starting using the bike’s own ignition suffered from crankus interruptus before the starter got going in any meaningful way . . . 2-3 seconds tops. This could have been due to duff pressure sensor readings which will happen with cracked pistons but led me initially to suspect a flat battery. When I cranked the bike with external wiring the cranking speed still felt laboured but at least it didn’t get cut by the ECU. I made a video of that test - I will post it when I get back after the weekend and you can pass judgement and let me know what you think but as for slow cranking with cracked pistons. . . . . . I am wondering if blowby into the crankcase effectively increases cranking resistance and thus slows down the starter? All my thoughts thus far are suppositions and educated guesswork. All I do know absolutely for sure is that I have extremely low compression on each of three pistons - this is the one known, undebatable fact and will need investigating and there’s only one way to find out the cause. If my starter motor is faulty too, then I have more than one issue going on. I will worry about that if and when I find out why I have naff all compression 😢 |
