I think my tfi is acting up. my settings are set to the recommend setting on the manual. Im not even sure its the tfi but when im doing about 50mph and I shift and crack the throttle the bike stutters and doesnt get up to speed like it should, runs very rough. Its really making me angry. Im not the most mechanical person and ive read all the tfi posts at work (havent done jack at my job for 2 days lol) any one else ever experience this problem? | ||

was it running correctly before. If not I would say that you have too much gas with the recommended settings. I am by no means an expert as I just started tuning my own recently, but my experience so far has been that the 3,7,4,7 settings gave my xb9 too much gas and when I whacked the throttle it would dog out. As was recommended to me, try backing the first three pots back to 2 or so and work up from there. Some of these other guys can probably help you out more than I can. Later, D | ||

can u change the settings without doing anything else? | ||

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. I guess your question is if you can just arbitrarily change the pot settings without doing anything else to the bike. Yes. All you are doing is adding fuel at different points in the curve (my understanding). Except pot number 4, and that is to trick your ecm(my understanding). The techlusion.com website has a great explanation of this under their support forum/general. For reference only..... I am currently running 2:30, 3, 2:30, 7:30. You can try it. I will say that from what I have read setting are bike specific as far as performance goes. later | ||

Certainly bike specific... My TFI is Off, Off, Off, 8:15... | ||

M1 so you have the race ecm yes? | ||
| M1combat |
Yes, and a Force exhaust w/ chopped out airbox, K&N, snokel delete... I have a power commander sitting on the hood of my Mach waiting for a few spare minutes to be installed. Once I get that done and dyno tuned, I'll be posting the Dyno's from the TFI and the PCII. As a side note, I found that the bike ran better with the stock ECM at those settings as well... Overall, the bike runs better with the race ECM at those settings. | ||

XB9s 2003. 1. 3.15 2. 6.30 3. 4 4. 8:15 / 8:30 I found this helped stop surges, throttle roll on, reduced the amount of "popping" on decelerate and gave the bike a little more response on throttle application. We call all this tinkering a LONG process.. Adjust your bike, warm'er up, go for a decent ride.. That's all we can offer.. | ||

no reach around? | ||

I won't offer a reach around, but I just put my TFI on my '03 XB9S and am having the same problem except mine is from idle when I crack the throttle, it's lagging/coughing. I'm tryin to get some info out of the guys at Techlusion but havn't heard back yet. |
