The first one I put on was a R100. Night and day! The bike was strong with only 10K or so on it. Before I even had it dialed in it would leave a carb version for dead. Of course the main diff is that the stock carbs were constant velocity Bings and had the throttle response of a cruise ship wereas the FI has no hangups whatsoever about having the throttle wacked wide open. That is one of the big things about the injection. Since it doesn't rely on a vacuum signal to draw the gas in it won't bog and die (like the Guzzi) when the vacuum drops to zero. The old black box just goes "WOOOHOOO" and squirts in the go juice while you flap from the handlebars like a t-shirt in a hurricane. OK that's a slight exageration. Maybe a gale. Does anyone still sell them? The one I have came from a BMW but of course will go on the Guzzi with almost no sweat. It was sold through Luftmeister. To answer your question it is infinitly adjustable. It is mapped with a graphic interface on a PC. You don't even have to be connected to the bike to create or modify the maps, only to up or download them. It also has real time feedback when connected. Handy for cars. Hard to do on a bike without a brake dyno. It has a field for 0 thru 15000 RPM (16 total) with 32 steps for each field and the computer calculates from this for ever 100 RPM so as to keep things smooth. Also has fully adjustable cold start settings that are temp dependent, as well as an accelerator pump feature for those nasty flat spots. It's really cool AND makes more power. Now all I need are some countersunk sockethead screws for the manifold stubs and I'll be set for the install. Did I mention the 1050cc Guzzi race bike that made 110BHP at the wheel? Fun=3.2 lbs per hp. At 03:03 AM 10/8/2001 +0000, you wrote:
