As some of you peeps know. I’ve been beta testing a revised Accelerator for the last 4 weeks.
It’s basically the same as the current one, but with a remote Brass-tipped air temperature sensor, with greater temperature range compensation.
This enables it to be positioned away from the engines heat. However, this may only really be useful if you are riding at low speed in very high ambient temperatures (i.e. not in the UK).
Comparing the current module with the new one. Well, after 500miles of testing the new one. It performed very much the same as the current module, with the exception of slightly better fuel consumption (averaging around 46 – 48mpg).
Both products give improved fuelling at low revs and hard acceleration.
e.g. my bike pulls cleanly from 28mph in 6th gear. Or from 10mph in 3rd gear.
Roll-on acceleration from 100mph in 6th is stunning (with either module version). Easily leaving a 2010 GSA disappearing backwards in my mirrors.
So….
Question: I have already invested in the current accelerator, should I now up-grade to the new version?
Answer: No, I don’t think so. The performance/economy gains are nominal. However, the new version might give a more consistent effect when used in temperature extremes (say below -0c or above +30c).
BTW, I also tested the new version on a 2010 GSA, but the fuelling on the new bike seems pretty spot-on, so I couldn’t really perceive much difference or benefit.

) that you're probably better off putting your money towards something else
