Question about torquey big Vs

[98tls]

Go to www.stromtrooper.com and do a search on chudder - is it like that?

I awhile back lent my Yoshbox to a guy off the TL forum in the states,he has a mate whos a member on that forum,some pissing about with said yoshbox later it did the rounds of a few other members,strange in that it shouldnt have worked with the Stroms ECU but apparently it did.I cant explain why but those who used it swore it did.Go figure.

As I said the only problem started out as cutting out usually going fairly slow either round a corner or perhaps approaching lights etc, usually going through neutral . I suspect the mistake I made was increasing the idle by too small an amount

My SV thou has also cut out during gear shifts when the idle was set too low and I've been agressive with my throttle closing.

Another thing not yet mentioned, that can be a problem on FI Suzukis, is the clutch switch.
If it gets dirty, it can be the scource of many fuelling issues, esp. stumble, and refusing to rev well. When it gets dirty, the ECU defaults to ; get you home' settings. The circuit affects many aspects of fuel injection control. It's a regular issue with the GSX1400, esp. in Europe, with long winters and salty roads. fwiw.

Whats a TBS?

Throttle Body Sync. It goes a long way to making the throttle response a lot smoother at low revs.

12,000km seems really low and I would've thought 30,000-50,000km for iridiums.

Well I changed them today as part of it's 12k service. It doesn't look like they needed changed though as they looked ok and the gap is within spec and still virtually the same as the new ones going in.

My Iridium plugs have done 49,000ks & still run sweet as , looking abit used now as to be expected . So have some ready to put in this weekend .

I fitted my SV with a TRE/gear indicator unit and the bike ran way smoother. Less stalling and much less backfiring on deacceleration.

My Suzuki did it after I debaffled. Never did recover, took it to two dealers and a techo expert. The problem was solved when I got a triumph lol.

Anyone with any expectation of anything by removing the baffles deserves a Triumph.lol.

Well I have been a keen photographer for a few years know my way around a camera. ( http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/al...p?albumid=1631 ) Although for this one I just stuck my pocket camera into macro mode and centre focus. Had some soft sunlight from the side and made sure the flash was off. Uploaded a 100 % crop.

LOTS of info on that plug!

Indeed, more than I could see with the magnifying glass. The plug gap is .85 mm for scale. I think those spots are carbon... not aluminium. There are no shiny white spots visible to the eye or with the magnifying glass anyhow.

On the TLS, i found that removing the flappy actuator valve thingy in the bottom of the airbox helped with the lumpyness down low.

Ever had an issue with iridiums TripleZee? Just curious, as my 1050 killed a set in less than 10,000km. Signs of excessive heat, with discolouration on the insulator etc.

Just had a couple of thoughts on this.

Are you sure you got the same heat range as your previous plugs..???

And what octane fuel are you running the bike on...???

Ok it was actually discolouration on the metal bit, but anyway, yes the heat range was the same "CR9EK - CR9EIX" and fuel is 95.

The word on the Speed Triple forum is that they prefer the stock plugs. I think the later 08+ use CR8EK plugs, whether relevant or not.
