Accelerator Module

[GrinningGSer]

I did a group ride with Yonkyo (Post 79) and he managed 48mpg,with module fitted, whilst those of us on oem bikes managed only 42mpg. I can assure you that Yonkyo rodes with enthusiasm and every time that he overtook me, his front wheel was off the ground ! I asked everyone to zero their mpg at the beginning and there was certainly no cheating.

Does anyone know how the bike calculates mpg? Is it possible that the module also fools the calculation ?

I have fitted my module, but too much ice out there to test it yet... fitted it 2 weeks ago as well. I will report when I've given it a good test.

Ordered on 18/12 - received sometime over the last 4 days. Will fit next week.......and report personal findings/opinion.

less lumpy

From my experience your mpg will drop. I'm now down to around 43mpg where once I was getting up to 52mpg. BUT the temperature has changed and I thing this has alot to do with it. I don't know where the others are coming from when they say their mpg have increased when mine has decreased running similar bikes. To get a better reading you have to reset your mpg reading and then wait and see.

hi there,i dont have the computer on my bike (i paid for it when i ordered the bike,but thats another story) so i calculate mpg for each tankfull based on what it takes to fill up & distance covered-i usually get 50+ mpg.
im not after more performance but the smoother running claims sound attractive.

This mpg is interesting! I'm not riding my bike at the moment due to the temp and salt but I will observe and see. One thing does come to mind though, down here in devon it's very hilly which also effects mpg. I would have worse mpg that someone who live somewhere flat!

PS; my bike never lifts front wheel off the ground, must be the way Yonko ride his bike rather than it being a performance boost! My bike is GSA 58 plate, 7700 miles, Keihan headers, Ackr can, Accelerator module, HID all round, O and black screen

Every time I accelerate hard in first gear my GSA will raise her head (if I switch the ASC off). And that was before I fitted the module.

The wheelies could be due mine having the optional Enduro gear box??, because my previous GS’s did take a bit of effort to wheelie.

Anyhow, with the Acc. fitted, me GSA also comes up in second gear when I nail the throttle. So I have to be very careful with full luggage and/or SWIMBO on the back (I always keep the ASC on then).

Oi loves my GSA oi does.

I have a K&N that I used to have fitted to my previous 1200GS (with Full Remus/Akra system & WPC) That bike went like a rocket and was faster than KTM 990’s and Z1000 etc. 140+ mph.

I’ve held off fitted the K&N to my GSA, because I’m worried about my engine running too lean at a constant throttle, due to the Accelerator Module being inactive at this phase.

Also, having tested my bike with the Arka Can fitted. I have since replaced it with the OEM Can again. My bike just seems to run much better without the Akra (with or without the DB killer).

Therefore I’m thinking my bike may run a bit too lean again with the K&N.


I have also fitted an Accelerator to one of my mates 07 1200GS (with Remus headers/OEM Can) and he is gobsmacked by the difference in the way his bike now runs (smoother pick-up, no more lumpiness, better roll-on acceleration etc).

If only you'd ducked flat on the tank it might have been 150+.......you can't beat a well ridden GS

Clive,

if you're getting an acc module sent to Oz, don't forget to factor in €30 for postage, which makes the price not far off the USD120 delivered for the Booster Plug in the group buy in the vendors section over at Advrider,

Phil

Phil,

The price is for non-european countries 30 euro, all included (module+P&P) until 09 of January

Nice one Adie




Welcome to the forum Chris
Loads of really useful info and stuff here ain’t there.


So, the current consensus of the Accelerator Module.

39 x Accelerator Mod orders confirmed by GSers on this thread.
25 x Positive reviews after road tests
14 x Awaiting delivery/road test feedback.
0 x Negative reviews after road tests

It seems that this little device gives significant benefits to most 1200GS's, regardless of age and mods.

Happy New Year to you fellow GSers

Hi Yonkyo,

Great that you keep the scores!

But there are over 100 UK users already

Thanks for starting this thread

 

[smartbear]

they all do it

mine also wheelies like a mad thing if i gun it in first gear,iv had to back off the throttle to stop it flipping over in 2nd before now. its a standard gs with a k&n filter.

As an 'early adopter' of the Accelerator Module I must say I am extremely pleased with the results. Even more pleased that so many other GS'ers have also found the module to be a brilliant benefit.

I just want to take the opportunity to wish MAVN the best in the new year and every GS'er that has his great product. Such a simple device (despite the technical discussion over who's is better) at such an affordable price has just got to be acknowledged as one of the best mods that can be made to a GS (and RT). Well done MAVN.

Just look at the response to Yonkyo's original post to see the interest it has stirred up.

Happy New Year and great riding in 2010.

Chips

Hi ChipsonFriday,

Thanks for the nice words.

Maybe I forgot Happy New Year to all UKGSer forum members

Regarding the wheelie thing. I don't do 'em. I'm a fairly crap rider, who after many years in the saddle probably has the same skill level as someone who's just passed their test, after never having ridden a bike before. But, the other day a child on a CBR600 pulled up beside me at some lights and began to blip his throttle, at first I thought he had some kind of movement disorder but then he looked across at me and nodded. After discounting the fact that he fancied me, i realised he was after a race. Why he would think someone on a filthy 1200GS, with full luggage (empty, mind), knobbly tyres, bar risers that make me look I'm leaning back, and a tank bag, would be interested in such a thing I don't know. Anyway, the race was on. He was obviously a little nervous of giving it a big handfull off the line, which gave me my opportunity, and I took it. Beans, lots of beans, a bathtub full of beans, oops. Before the Accelerator module such actions would cause the front to go light, a bit of a wobble at the bars, slight sphincter twitch, and off i'd go. In launching myself off the line and applying the bean handle, i must have looked as though I was trying to get airborne, up went the front wheel, and fully dilated went my sphincter. Luckily the unbaffled sound of my Akra drowned the sound of my screaming for mummy and the self-preservation bit of my brain woke up and told me to get a f*cking grip and sort this mess out. I eased off the throttle a little and pushed my weight forward a tad, and the wheel came back down. Unfortunately the self-preservation bit of my brain then went back to sleep just as I was going into second gear, and having the memory of retarded goldfish I once again introduced some beans into the game. Up it went again, not as high and not as wild, but enough to make my sphincter glad it hadn't fully closed from it's previous experience and so not need to exert as much energy in opening again. As the wheel came down for the second time the CBR rider came past me staring at me with eyes that looked about to pop from his head, he either thought me a riding god or if he got a look at my wild eyed face, that I was a manic depressive looking for a way out. He seemed to decide enough was enough and eased off, I wobbled the rest of my way home. This Accelerator thing, not bad at all.

Brilliant…

You bet…That kid on the CBR will be telling all his mates about the Wheelie King on the GS.

Careful now

 

[Monty]

Hi Folks,

Sorry to be a doofus, but here goes...

I have a standard 09 bike and I am tempted with an Accelerator. I am not sure if the richening of the mixture would do bad things to the catalyst? The only reason I am thinking of it is that at some point if emissions tests come in I would be a little gutted to find the catalyst is dead.

Cheers,

Matt

fecking brilliant mate! well done! would have paid to see the look and the cbr riders face, and yours! prompt change of undies when home i take it!!!!

If emmission tests come in.... There is a gang of thousands who are fecked as we have junked the cat years ago, so you will not be alone.....

Worry about global warming instead. It will be better use of your worry cells.

Hi Yonko...

Totally of subject, but how do you know what bnumber your HP2 is, as ive just got 1 and would like to know...

Was delivered christmas eve (thanks santa)
and havnt rode it yet....

Role on warmer weather...

Hi Andy

Have a look at the last four numbers of your VIN (on the head stock).
Mines 0088.

This freeze isn’t at all conducive to riding a sports bike is it. It’s so frustrating having a new toy that you can’t play with.

I had a demo ride booked on the new S1000RR today, but it was cancelled due the feckin weather.

Safe riding mate.

Brian

Don't you mean "Worry about warming the Globe"?? Could do with some heat right now.
