motronic reset

[chrishb4]

At the risk of recieving a barrage of abuse, can I ask a simple question?
Re the steptoe code plug thread which I sort of understand, does the ignition need to be on or off when pulling the motronic fuse to reset the unit, or is this procedure un-necessary after changing the code plug pin connections?
y-piece, no cat and oem zorst. Came as standard with a yellow code plug.

Ignition off, pull fuse #5 (for the 1150), wait 30 seconds, and reinsert fuse. Turn ignition on, fully open and close throttle a few times. Start bike, make a test run, and let us know if it made a difference. On my bike it did not unfortunately.

Thanks, Mapster. I'll give it a go and let you know what the result is.

Tried it, didn't seem to make any difference, like yours, so I've put it back the way it was.
Thanks again for your help.

I wonder what difference people expect. ????

If the bike is running ok, leave it as it is. The "link" isn't a tuning aid.

And he motronic reset isn't really necessary, the motronic sets itself once you've ridden it. Your only showing the motronic/TPS when full throttle is reached.

Hi Chris,
Too bad it didn't work, but as Steptoe said: it isn't a miracle cure, but you won't know until you try. Good luck with the bike! Btw I tried because mine doesn't run quite as it should.

touchy, touchy

I had assumed that the catcode link set the 'map' in the motronic unit to alter the fuelling of the injection system throughout the rev range. As I had changed the condition of the exhaust system by removing the cat I just wanted to see if changing the catcode plug link would significantly alter the way the engine performed. It is a bit subjective without the use of a dyno and I felt that there was no difference when I road-tested the bike. I tried it, didn't appear to do anything, so back to standard settings.
