Accelerator Module

[cookie]

Now for the real anorak stuff:
From A South West ride today
According to my Zumo track log, Gordano, Rick's ride and back to Taunton 147 miles:

Three bikes re set their average mpg to zero at Gordano
147 miles later:
2007 R1200GSA, spotlights on,heated grips on,heated jacket, 42mpg
Two faster riders:
2009 R1200GS 42mpg , ridden with assertion
2009 Yonkyo's R1200GSA, Akropovic, HID's with Accelerator Module and everyone on the ride
will confirm this, ridden with equal assertion to the R1200GS: 48mpg !!!!

So is it really true that richer fuelling gives better mpg

AAMOI were those figures taken from the computer or from brim to brim refuelling calculations?

The figures were from the computer and I see what you may be thinking...perhaps the module confuses the computer and the raised mpg is an artefact

As GrinningGSer has said. The MPG readings were taken from the three bikes computers, which were all zeroed before we set off. I know it’s not exactly scientific and the calibrations weren’t verified.

I did a total of 210miles door to door including 100 M/way miles (not hanging about on the way home either). Averaged 48mpg for the trip. Prior to fitting the gadget I was averaging 44mpg at best.

I am getting better gas mileage and more performance and a smoother engine and a better riding experience.

Great ride out by the way lads

Just read through your site.

Just one question - why do you need to know whether a catalyst is installed?

Have to say its looks tempting...........I couldn't give a toss about bhp or even mpg (within reason) but improved low speed running would be welcome.

Its the improvement to the low speed performance that’s the most perceptible benefit.
Take it from me. It will be the best 27 quid you will ever spend on you bike.

Not sure about the Cat/no Cat question though. Maybe its to do with different resisters required.

Come on guys, someone must own a multi-meter.

What's the resistance of each connection, and where does the gizmo go?

Maybe even fit a pot (volume control) for F1-stylee performance adjustment

 

[Bernat-GS]

Today I've bought one. I hope to be able to receive it soon and give my opinion.
Thanks for post

Multi-do-da. Nope, sorry, i wouldn’t know how to use one if i had one.

The module simply connects to air box temperature sensor located behind the left side tank panel.

It might be that its not just an ordinary resistor in the lead as it seems to do different things at different temperatures

But it could be the ECU is having this effect. So if someone was able to measure the resistance at different temperatures, that would be useful.

Just because he asks the question- it does not mean it has any influence on the module - perhaps he has future plans.

I think what you are referring to is the T.R.E. (Timing Retard Eliminator) which de-restricts some Suzuki and Kawasaki engines.

I believe the TRE works on an entirely different principal.

Yep, thats the one and you're right it is a different principal. I was more trying to comment on the fact that it was just a resistor that plugged in between a couple of connectors and yet it gets such strong reactions from people either saying its the best thing they've ever fitted, or that its a waste of time and worst case it'll destroy your engine. I guess that was more the similarity I was seeing.

Anyhow this sounds an easy fix, could you not work out the temp resistance by taking the sensor off and putting it in the fridge for a bit and comparing the resistance of this vs room temp? If I had a spare I'd be doing this, but I commute so don't have the time to take things apart and potentially fail to put them together again. Where do you get BMW connectors from though?

Oh and Mototech said the plots were "interesting" is that "interesting" good, or bad?

Confusing the Coding Plug, as above with the Air Temperature Sensor is not helpful at this stage. Both have a relevant role to play.

The device in question is about fooling the air temperature, with presumably either a linear resistor, non linear resistor or possibly a combination of the two.

However, at 29 Euros, and knowing BMW prices, that should just about cover the cost of the two plugs.

You've read it wrong as well - it's not the 1150 coding plug fix -

my 1200 "adjustment" is entirely different - a "certain", wire tapped into and redirected does the same as this magic lead does.

But that's for me to know and offer to my customers and others to find out

Stupid question from me

This module looks superb. Being a recent convert off x3vfr's onto a 08 plate 1200gsa, more smoothness would not go a miss.

How do i know / check if the bike has a cat or not??

Thanks

Your catalytic converter is the great lump in the middle of your exhaust. If you've got standard pipes then you'll still have a cat, unless the previous owner cut it out, which is unlikely.

TS,

Many thanks will check it out and get one ordered.

Cheers

Ordered one on Friday, arrived today. Great service to Istanbul. Started bloody raining though, and will continue for at least 5 days. Bugger.

It's the snatchiness at low revs I'm hoping this will cure.

i was thinking of getting one, but if they don't work in the rain i won't bother.






actually, i'm not thinking of getting one at all, that was just a cheap shot
