I've set timing at anything over 8000rpm(ish) to 44BTDC. On John's dyno, just using the inertia of the roller to work against and with the wideband Lambda installed it was pretty easy to see it start to lean off at certain revs and load and simply add a bit of fuel and redo run. After half an hour, and just before I killed me and my son with carbon monoxide poisoning, it was running and sounding quite good. It's pretty crisp up to 15,000rpm which was as far as I took it. Blips cleanly, idles sweet, takes any throttle at any revs up to about 50% or a bit more. I picked up my rolling road tonight from John's garage and have the bike sitting on it downstairs.
The neighbours are going to be real happy.
The Link ECU is very stable so far and adjustments seem very precise. So far the switch from Ecotrons seems to have been a very good idea. I'll probably play a bit more making manual adjustments and then feed the Lambda output to the ECU and get it autotuning.
I'm going to have to sort out an alternator for it as the current draw means a single LiPo blade only lasts about 5 minutes. i use a big 12V car battery beside the dyno to run it at the moment.
