Ok all here is how I have tuned mine now,
Here is how I changed my fuel Co levels after my numerous runs with my friends C14. I started with my baseline numbers of CO that I had established on the dyno. The +14 on all cylinders... Thus.. 19,32,32,35.
Like I stated(truthfully before).. In 2nd,4rd,4th,5th gears ..roll ons(anywhere in the rpm range) I would leave him in the dust! No comparison between the bikes. I was smiling!!
However... In 1st gear roll ons (to simulate) 1/4 mi times... His C14's better gears really shined because we would start out even and toward the top of his 3rd gear(I was still in the middle of my 3rd) he would pull a bike length on me. BUT, I would then pace him.. We never did a run like this to top speed.
With my bike still at the above dyno tuned Co levels.. We did do a couple roll ons to total top speed.. I would always be way ahead until 150+ and, again he would start creeping up when I was topped out(with bags on for both of us) and slowly pass me and get 1-2 bike lengths ahead and then he would run out of steam. And we would be at the same top speed for miles(he was in 5th also) and miles.. I couldn't gain on him and he could pull away anymore. THUS, same top end speeds.
We stopped at one point and I thought I would try to dial in more fuel to my 19,32,32,35.. I upped it 4... 23,36,36,39. I remembered from the dyno that 14 was my value for the 138hp. Also, on the dyno, I did do one run at +20 but that represented a loss oh hp (136). So I have had this gray area from 14 to 20 where maybe I could get a little more hp or maybe not.
Now when we ran the bikes here(+18 on all cylinders), my mid range pull on him in the roll on gears was not as strong(still there but he stayed a lot closer) but the final top out was very close. HE could only get me by 1/2 a bike length. This brought up a good point to me.. A power commander OR a techlusion tuner could fixed this problem. Make the fuel rich enough on top for better top end BUT yet keep it lean enough in the middle for the best roll on performance. However, then I would have to go back to the dyno and start all over... NOT MY PLAN!!
I got to thinking about my dyno times and something I had pondered that night.. Should I even out all the cylinders values (the 08 has this) because now I am letting in air on both sides of the air box and I don't have that restrictive funnel inside bypassing half of the filter.. Hmmm..
So, I changed my Co levels one more time.. I put then even across the board(all four cylinders). I chose to base them off of the #3 cylinder(the base line cylinder). Since the #2 and #3 were always the same and the #4 was always pretty close but slightly higher. So I decided to set them all at +34. 34,34,34,34.
We did a first gear roll on, and I was ahead of him the whole time! We let off at the end of my 4th gear(he was in 5th by now I am sure).We ran out of room on the road! My Friend on the C14 gave me a big thumbs up! We talked later and he said he thought I might of got a slight jump on him(Its possible) BUT he added that my tune level was by far the best at this CO setup!! He did say that our bikes seemed very evenly matched from 1st gear roll ons on up now. We never got a chance to do anymore top out runs but I am sure I didn't loose anything from before. We did do some more 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th gear roll on tests (not just from the low rpms either) and I continued to roast him and run away from him with this setup.
I know the dyno is a great tuning tool but it only takes into consideration a 200lb wheel (load).. And not the load of what the bike weighs PLUS my 230lb *** and the load of the wind resistance. So.. That is why I wanted to do a lot of real World road testing against a fast bike (the C14). Thus, I could base the changes of my tune! IT WORKED GREAT!!
I only recommend my CO levels on a bike with my mods(air box open up, as much as mine, on both sides).
THE DOWN SIDE TO ALL THIS: It should be noted that my avg fuel mpg computer was reading around 29mpg during all this high speed horsing around. But I reset it after we all split up. I drove nice(averaged around 65-70mph on the hwy) for around 25 miles. My avg fuel mpg computer then read 38mpg.
The only reason I post this stuff up is so any of you FJR owners can benefit from these mods. Also, lets face it.. Our FJR does the sport touring thing awesome! Better than the C14. I will say it here that the C14 is a nice bike and great performer! And look how simple and cheap it was for me to make our FJR's as performance oriented as the C14. Even with its five speed gear box disadvantage to the C14! Yes.. my buddy on the C14 weighs more than me (somewhere around 30lbs).. I know that makes a difference! So putting that into perspective here(out of fairness).. Even If my bike would no longer just roast him in roll ons.. The bikes would be so close how could you declare a all out better performer!! Both bikes rock!
Thats what I got and how I got it!
