Hi looking at getting my 1260 MS mapped, as im really struggling with the low range hunting, and jerky on/off throttle. I've fitted a full Akra system as i heard that this helps, and it does up to a point, but still not perfect. I can live with it around town, but hairpins are a nightmare. Im not chasing horsepower just smooth fuelling. Options that i can tell are : Remap from BHP - about £400, i havent seen any feedback( good or bad) about this . Rapid Bike evo - about £350 , this should help with fuelling, but not sure if it does much at partial throttle openings, due to closed loop? Hilltop re-map-£? I dont believe all the negative crap about them, but not sure if this will be any better/ different to a BHP map? Open to suggestions, preferably with real world results. TIA.
Best done by someone with a dyno. If the cat is gone then the o2 sensors can be turned off and the map made to the specific bke and exhaust system combination.
I had my V4s mapped using a flasher tool and found it great , BHP Uk do dyno sessions if needed but looking at what they do they are very thorough and the extensively test there own bikes (standard or decat) to get max results and / or keep good file history for many bikes tuned by them. The flasher route works well enough for the road , If I was track racing I would have individual maps made for specific tracks as this would work the same as suspension setting to get the best for the fastest laps , no so on the road. Just about to get the new map for my 25 plate V4s as had them before on all my Multi V4 and Gs. Remember , good brakes and tyres are more important that tune , but put both together a win win.
Thats great ta. Nice to hear someone whos actually used them . I know what you mean about brakes and tyres- suspension too, but the MS isn't lacking in any of these, but its just throttle response not power that im after. I think I'll probaly pull the pin on this .
Now i dont mind an excuse for a ride out, but you couldn't have recommended anyone further away. Its about 800 miles round trip.
