Re: Suzuki GSF400 Bandit

I like the new configuration, hope it works well. I think your placement of the injectors is about the best you could hope for in a carb-to-throttlebody conversion. It seems to me that it's a good choice to have the injectors pointed upward, and it's also good that the injectors will hit the side of...

Re: Finally! I feel ready to call my Kawasaki EX250 a succe

Now that it's wintery and cold in Spokane I'm working on fine-tuning the bike's cold startup characteristics. Things are going well. Here's a short video of a cold startup test on Dec 13, in 30 degree (F) weather. (Side Note: About some of the dialogue that you'll hear on the video, I know that you ...

Re: CBR400RR 1991. Possible?

This might help: He posted a picture with measurements of the GSR400 throttlebody over on the MSextra forum well over a year ago now. Don't know if he's made any progress since then: http://www.msextra.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=6627&p=255757&hilit=parus#p255757 I don't know what Pa...

Re: Finally! I feel ready to call my Kawasaki EX250 a succe

Just one question regarding code running on MS. Any special reason for using MS EXTRA code? Did you run on B&G code (eg 2.890) at some point? If yes did you notice any difference? I started out on B&G code and Megatune but once I realized I was headed toward alpha-N tuning (due to the lousy...

Finally! I feel ready to call my Kawasaki EX250 a success.

It's a 250cc "sport" class road bike, Microsquirt, fuel-only, MSextra 3.1.1 code (for now)

Eventually I'll be tearing back into it to make it fuel+ignition, but for now I'm just enjoying it.

Re: Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit

However I am concerned about this notice in the Microsquirt installation guide, where it says that if triggering directly of the coil then connect OPTO IN - to 12V rather than grounding it in order to avoid thermal "meltdown" of components inside the ECU. On the other hand I have already ...

Re: Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit

The diodes are just IN4003 silicon diodes purchased at Radio Shack (that would be Radio Shackopoulos or Radio Shackos where you live). From my "no electronic skills" background I only know that the IN400X family of diodes, IN4001 IN4002 IN4003 IN4004.....etc. only differ in the amount of &...

Re: Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit

Here's a little update on the "tacho driver".... It just didn't get the job done. RPM spikes and dropouts, and some odd behavior during cranking. So I've tossed it. I had to go with a different solution, one that was suggested to me by another guy a while back but I never got around to try...

Re: Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit

How about you, did you try out the TachModule on your project? Yes, I ordered one. So far it's working for me, but not the way I expected it to do. Let me explain.... On their website the Tacho Driver product description includes the following: •For 4-cylinder, wasted spark installations or two-cyl...

Re: Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit

One thing I observed is that when I have both inputs connected it gives correct RPM, when I have only one input connected I have half of the actual rpm. The b4 has an I4 motor with cylinders 1 & 4 firing off one coil and 2 & 3 on the other. Someone would expect that connecting to one coil w...
