Thanks for the report Magnon, does it feel much different to the Accelerator module?
Accelerator Module
- Thread starter Yonkyo
- Start date
Due to the recent snow never got round to fitting and testing the ACC Module so can't comment.
Sorry.

Magnon,
Do you also have my Accelerator module? Would be interesting to see if there is many differences!

Just missed your respons. Would be anyhow interested to cross check both modules
It takes only 10 minutes to swap it on your bike

Hi Mavn
As soon as I can I'll get out on the bike ride with the booster and get the engine up to temp then swop over and report back riding impressions. I can possibly do it on Tuesday but can't promise due to other commitments.
The daytime temperature is forecast to be around + 3oC over the next few days so I don't know if that's good for the ACC Mod or not.

Hi Magnon,
Why do you think it would not work at +30C? It works over the whole temperature range!
Don't want to get into technical debate on merits of available devices so I won't. When I try the two devices I have I'll just report back my impressions.

Re emissions
Many more emissions are measured other than CO/CO2 which is basically the amount of fuel being burnt. They also measure NOX and hydrocarbons which benefit greatly from a lean mixture. This is what your feeling at low rpm. I assume the compression has changed this as my 09 GSA doesn't have any of the problems mentioned in this thread so it either has slightly revised injection or the higher compression has changed it.

Don't need a technical report mate just impressions. It surely doesn't matter what the temp is
Got my Acc from Mavn, fitted it and out for a ride today at 6 degrees. Fantastic difference in throttle response throughout the rev range. Pulls like a train from low revs and just seems to want to go
Very very happy with it and coupled with the Keihan headers makes the bike ride the way it should do
Excellent product.
Fitted the Acc yesterday and went out for about an hour - half of which was through traffic in Lincoln (+-5 Deg). I can report better town riding but still a little snatchy on roll on - roll off. On the road it seems to pull at low revs better but not sure if there is an improvement in power - still noted the 4000 rpm flat-spot. Also, I was looking for extra power so may have been more enthusiastic with the throttle which may have given the perception of extra power, if you see what I mean......
I have the std OEM exhaust and can so the next step is catless headers.
All in all there is an improvement and for the bucks it is worth it.
Others with different exhaust set-up will obviously experience different.
Oh - re fuel consumption, the ave moved from 48.6 (500 miles plus with much motorway) to 48.7 so I will keep watching that.

To have changed the avg consumption so quickly suggests a pretty good improvement in mpg currently being achieved.

Out last night testing my new HID lights and noticed my mpg were down to 43.6 !!!! I have not seen any improvement on mpg yet but I think it might be the cold weather! Just my theory!
By the way, my experience with the Accellerator is that it gives better pickup but when I open throttle fast and allow the bike to accelerate as fast as it can it's at this point I noticed the flat spots through the rev range. This has been the case since fitting Keiham headers earlier this year! Adding a Ackropovic can and Accelerator has not removed flat spots under hard acceleration!

BoosterPlug
I have ordered the BoosterPlug from Jens but I am on the Feb dispatch list
So all this talk looks as if it has had a positive affect on the two divices

Well, ive had my accelerator module on the gs for about 6000-800 miles now, and can say, im very very very impressed -
- pick up from low revs is almost instant without being jerky
- low speed riding through town and filtering is simply gorgeous, no more slipping the clutch, just smooth power.
- rev rang is alot smoother with a noticable "boost" in the flat spot
- the whole bike feels more "lively" and "willing" when giving it some, not that ive been able to in the past few weeks.
- i feel alot more confident in the bike, kinda feels tlike this is what it should have been like from rolling out the factory.
i have a carbon akcro can on my 1200gs, and witht he module fitted, it sounds even more gorgeous, especially on the over run
i know there are more exensive options out there that deliver better, more customisable performance, but for £30 delivered, you really need to be a little mental to fork out all that extra dosh when you can spend your £30 and spend the rest on petrol and enjoy the ride a whole lot more!!!
all the best and a happy new year

It seems to work
Fitted and tested yesteday and definatly feels better, smoother & more responsive as good as the PC i had fitted (waiting replacement one to arrive) so i thought for 30 quid id give it a go. very happy so far.

I'd be interested to hear of your comparisons once you have fitted your PC vs Accelerator as I'm considering a PC!
The Accelerator model will NEVER be as good as a properly setup PC . For engine tuning there are many other parameters to consider than just the ambient tempertature influence on the air/fuel ratio.
However they are in a completely different price bracket and from what I have seem the Accelerator module is good value`.
We are talking £30 against approx £500-£600 for the PC + dyno tuning and as soon as you change something the PC should be setup again to take advantage of the changes.
Why not eat a lot less pies and beer then the same power increase can be obtained by the reduction in excess weight being carried - most people forget this enhancement

How very true and cheaper! I have the Accelerator and am pleased but always wanting the best performance possible. Bought the Accelerator as a stop gap really.
I've Tried n Failed But that's Better isn't it?
I had intended to write an appraisal for each device but I can’t it’s just too difficult to write down what is a very subjective thing, in the end it’s just a feeling you get and I was unable to describe it in a meaningful way (I did try).
What I can say is I rode the bike for about 2 hours today with the tank side panels removed so I could swap between the standard set up and module enhanced mode, in all I swapped about 6 times and every time the bike was best with the Booster fitted.
Fitting the AccMod improves the ride as others have described in earlier posts but the best ride is with the Booster.
So is it worth spending the extra, in my opinion yes.
An Offer.....
If there is a local Tosser who would like to try theses on their bike for a few hours and then add their thoughts on here PM me to arrange a ride out. Can’t say fairer than that!

Thanks for the report Magnon, Be interesting to see what the temprature setback is on both these, anyone in the area with a GS-911?
