a question for those in the know?, 1995 1100gs no lamda, i have a beige ccp. does the co pot actually work or is it just extra weight?

different ccps give you access to different fuel-injection maps verses ignition maps,all they are is somethng that connects 2,3 or 4 pins in the fuse box to tell it hat map to run,if its running okay leave it alone ,i have expermented at great length ith these things using an air fuel meter ,your bike runs about 13.8 thats the best for these engines,the later motronics are cleverer different kettle of fish far too lean 14.7

thanks for the reply's, i was just trying to figure out if the co pot is actually needed or works because the old posts i have read seem to suggest that it's only needed if i remove the ccp?, i can't seem to find a clear answer in the search system.
Yes it works. My last service resulted in a slagging because I'd fecked with it. I got everything else right(ish) though!
It's not heavy!

My bike died on an overtake in andora though. Lambda sensor would have overcome that. Scary stuff...

Ok, cheers, i need to get the mixture checked as i also messed with it while sorting something else, don't think it's far off though.

Both oilheads that I own/have owned have CO pots, no cat coding plug, lambda sensor or cat. As I understand it they therefore run open loop i.e. with no lambda sensor to feed back information from what's in the exhaust and then alter the fuelling accordingly (closed loop) they rely on the basic setting of the CO pot and tps. The CO pot therefore certainly does have a role in altering the basic richness of the fuelling, which the Motronic then uses in accordance with whatever fuelling map is operative, determined by which if any of the coloured coding plugs is installed. Random twiddling is inadvisable (DAMHIK). Only a small adjustment will affect the mixture, but the effect is delayed, which is probably why many people over adjust them or get them completely out-of-range. (The adjustment all takes place within one turn of the screw). I managed to cure chronic rich running by replacing the pot on my 850GS as turning the screw made no difference to the measured resistance. A used replacement bought from Motorworks showed varied resistance as the screw was turned; using this one I was able to get a decent lean mixture. To do it properly you should use an exhaust gas analyser to get around 2% from memory.
Hope this helps.
