Wunderlich Power Controller connection issue

[Thunder]

Took some time off this afternoon to fit a Wunderlich Power Contoller to the bike, found the connecting points alright but had bu came to a halt when I found that the connecter from the right side for the O2 sensor ended with a 4 pin male plug instead of a female plug which the controller came wired for.

Anyone confirm what the "standard" plug on the 1200GS should be?

I've had my Techlusion fitted for at least a year now and did fit it myself. In fact I'm on my 2nd one as the 1st one died in the Picos.

The connector that the unit fits into can be disconnected at both ends, exposing a male and a female end depending on the way you dismantle it.

Are you possibly removing the wrong end?

Witha full Remus, minus baffle, the Techlusion makes a real difference

Could be Peter, will look at it again tomorrow.

Does it matter where the connection is made on the wiring loom on the controller?

I'm talking about at what point on the loom the original socket is connected.

Thanks for the information

Hi
have you had it on a dyno yet

 

[Thunder]

This might help explain the situation concerning the connection.

This shows the two connections from the power controller , fitting it to the left side O2 sensor is fine as it has a female connection, the problem is the right which has a male connection.

I've taken off the cover which shows the male connector on the controller.

Both connections should be the same. You've got a dodgy one by the look of it.

I've not dyno'd my bike. It's a lot of money to get a number that won't make the bike any faster

Someone on Advrider dyno'd there's with a Techlusion, full Remus and a 'blue' air filter and got a little over 100bhp at the wheel.

Impressive.

Having ridden a 1200S I'd love to try that engine in a GS

Just to claify you mean both connections from the 02 sensors?

 

[Thunder]

Looks like I have a bike which for some reeason has the "wrong" connector on the right side o2 sensor.

Just checked the BMW parts fische ad it lists the same part number for both sensors so for some reason my loom has different connections.

If any GS owner is at a loose end and wants something to do could they possibly nip out and see if their sensors both use a 4 pin female adapter?

Looks like I may be listing the Power Controller in for the for sale section.

This may be totally wrong but it looks to me like you have a bit from the Techlusion remaining on the bike making the Techlusion and the bike seem odd.

My bike's garaged a couple of miles from home so I can't easily access it but I'm 99.9% certain that each side connections for the o2 connectors should be symmetrical and you end up with 4 of those long, double ended connectors instead of the two you started with.

I assume that you have the english .pdf fitting file?

Basically the small Techlusion plug goes into the secured BMW long socket and the BMW small plug you removed to do this goes into the Wunderlich long connector - I think.

I can check tomorrow if you need me too.

I have the other long sleeve for the PC, I took it off to show the connector it had in it.

As I said I can connect the left side perfectly, but the right sensor just won't fit.

I think it' my bike to be honest, but if your near your bike check and see if both 02 sensors are the same and "female".

 

[Thunder]

Ok where is the embarrassment icon on here?

Just went and diconnected the sensors again, miracle of miracles I now find mine are in fact the same, it helps when you dicsconnect them from the "right" end of the connector

Will get the controller fitted finally tomorrow, then hopefully can get out for a fiddle.

Thanks for the help on this Peter.

No probs, I half wondered

Stand by to be impressed, do you have a Remus/Akro or whatever?

Peter

 

[Thunder]

Have Remus headers and currently back with the stock can, may fit a BMW Akra in the near future to the Remus, I know where one is waiting for me

Have you replaced the stock air filter?

What immidiate difference did you notice with the controller fitted?

 

[Wraithwrider]

I still have the stock filter.

The whole range was much smoother and more responsive and the bike responds much better to those big throttle openings at 80+

Very impressive.

Mines done 15,000 miles now and is very smooth as well. When the Techlusion failed in Spain and I changed back to standard (just need to reconnect the throttle bodies) the bike felt flat with lots of popping and spluttering due to the weak mixture with the full debaffled Remus.

[Thunder]

Definetly sounds interesting, looking forward to trying it out over the weekend.

 

[Mysticwind]

hi wraithrider (btw thunder i found it took me a good while to fit correctly as the instructions are poor) - have you adjusted yours or left it on std settings, i have mine on std with a full remus with baffles out and the blue filter fitted, i notice gains in most areas, especially mid and top end, have you adjusted yours?

Roger just check with alan up at hursts if i remember right there is two models of power controller one for the early 1200 s and one for the later ones, ok hope this helps.

[Wraithwrider]

So far as I'm aware there's only one Techlusion unit and it's adjustable to quite an extent.

I've mine set up as per the suggestion in the pdf file for a full Remus and a 'Blue filter'. I feel that the filter is probably the least significant in terms of removing a restriction to airflow and as I have also removed my baffle I chose these settings (I can hunt them out if anyone needs them).

The end result is very satisfying

Hi Roger,
Just signed up and see that my controller was the matter of some discussion.
Hope all is well now, regards, Brian

All sorted Brian, helps when you disconnect the right end of the plug
