The soft rev limiter is currently set at 12500rpm. Previously there was no rev limiter allowing the motor to rev through to 14k or so (no rev counter so this is all going by ear and power drop off and knowing the old dyno curve). The delay coming back onto the throttle is noticeably worse the harder the bike is revved, so while the problem existed last weekend it was almost minor compared to how it was with no rev limiter.
Now before some says "why dont you set the rev limiter at 10500" ...
I'll say it i was thinking it before anyway couldn't the rev limiter be set to work to a lower level at a per-determined TPS position (say 25%)
That way it should only effect over run.
But my thoughts were there was a excess of fuel (Rich mixture condition)that needed to be burned off before thew engine would respond when coming back onto the power from a slower corner high over-run revs condition?

I am sorry I didnt reply to the questions about the software freeze ups.
I emailed Ignitech about it, as I have been having this issue of late, only since Ignitech have supplied a "one for all " Windoze driver for usb.
Never had a problem previously, except when using USB in real time with the motor running.
That is always to do with RF noise going down the usb, and is usually fixed easily enough.
But I have had no real helpful info from them about constant freezing up for no reason, I havnt been able to solve it myself, so if there is a "fix"
then many of us would love to hear about it.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
A reply would have been nice......even just acknowledging you were following up...anyway
OK, fitted the unit , my mate made up a mount for the pick up...set gap to .6-.9 mm
Bought a usb to serial interface from Jaycar for $34.00
Set up the base advance, set up the laptop , you could see the crank speed on the screen,
As soon as the motor started the screen went " no pc connection' and froze.
Tried all sorts, running unit of separate 12 volts to starter motor
After what seemed like hours gave up.....
Next day as a last resort went to Repco and bought 2 RESISTOR plugs.....like that was going to make a difference......
Well it did and it works.
Running dual output coils as was going twin plugs....so earthed at the moment as not needed.
So there you go....its in the Ignitech FAQ but only as an aside....
Now I just need my FXR 150 to magically transport itself from Napier to Auckland and I'll be sorted...![]()

OK, that is what i was saying about it is easy to fix usb communication issues when the motor is running - I didnt realise that was what you were having as its easy to fix.
I usually tell everyone that you MUST run resistor plugs AND resistor caps, must have forgotten with your project.
Or I have tested using spiral wound coil wires,this works real well and means you dont have issues with unreliable resistor caps - but you still must use resistor plugs in any case.
What is hard to figure out is why we are getting freeze ups without the engine running.
Still dont know.

I had no issues with comms engine not running, I bought a jaycar converter that comes with a CD.
