Yesterday, I managed to squeeze another hour on this cold start and tuning the WUE so more, daft thing is its been a while, and I left the LC1 heater circuit connected, so that explains why the lights didn't come on the dash when I turned on the ignition key
A fresh battery, and I was up and running. Bike fired up straight away, so the priming pulse increases have helped, but it died straight after. I then noticed I had got too much fuel, as the AFR was way low, so a quick tweak, and it was normal business. As the biked warmed up I kept reducing the fuel to reduce the richness, and it's amazing how much over fuelling the bike can tolerate.
I tried a little VELive on VETable2, and it started to lean out some more, but when I burn in TunerStudio it stalls the engine, so I was becoming aware of the hot start cranking times. I'd thought I would experiment, and one of things I did was look at the AFR spikes under cranking. I lowered the cranking RPM and it made a marginal difference, and then I had a thought...what if I raised the cranking RPM to well above starter cranking speed. Bingo, I reset the ASE to 0%, so it wouldn't affect things, read the AFR, as I cranked the bike at 280-350 rpms as it tried to catch. I changed the cranking pulses to alternate, as the engine was well rich I lowered the cranking pulse widths until the AFR went up, and it made a difference. Unfortunately, I got as little carried away, and it now takes slightly longer from hot, then when I started. One step forward, two back, but at least I saved the previous tune, so I can start again.
