Could be because this time of year I'm not out doing much more than just tooling around & not getting into the upper RPM range. Plugged it in & seems to work fine but really haven't noticed much difference. I don’t know how long it takes to impair a cat with unburned fuel but I’m hoping that it takes longer than a few 30 minute rides (about all I’ve heard so far is that “over time” the cat can become restricted).īought a spare ECU & sent it off to Schnitz Racing for a flash. Maybe not the best plan for a rookie and I’m certainly open to suggestions/advice about any of it. If not, I may have to reinstall the stock O2 sensor and reflash to re-enable the stock O2 sensor. Going to leave the cat, plug the PAIR tube at the air-filter housing, flash the (spare) ECU to disable the stock O2 sensor and PAIR Valve FI code, use the 12mm X 18mm adapter to install the Zeitrinix WB O2 sensor and AFR Meter, and do some trial rides to get some hopefully more accurate AFR reads with the Log Box for study.Īfter a few 30 minute rides I’m hoping that I can then just unplug the PAIR tube to stop sending unburned fuel into the cat and see if everything runs normally with the ZT-3 WB installed. I’m still in training mode of course but I think I may have settled on my next steps with this Woolich Racing ECU flashing and engine tuning business. Laptop use with the Woolich software will now be much faster than it was with the old Motorola. Oh, I almost forgot.that new ASUS AX wireless router I installed over the weekend puts out great signal all the way to the shop out back. So since it's raining here again, think I'll pop in the headphones while I do a little reading about recording live HydeRide engine data on the Log Box. But there's more: the Log Box info online said it came with 2GB of on-board memory but it actually came with a removable 16GB SanDisc Ultra Micro SD card already installed.Īnd to top it all off, we got through with the 1-1/2 hour Headworks Improvement Study meeting with the engineers (they're in process of designing ~$3.7M worth of much needed new equipment for the WWTP) and the boss let me head out at 2. Good news was that they were right and it showed to have been delivered by lunchtime, so I went and picked it up. Bad news was USPS tracking said my Woolich shipment had been delayed but would be arriving soon. Well I today got some good news and some bad news. The Log Box D v3 & Zeitronic ZT3 wideband O2 sensor kit has been ordered and shipment will be processed soon. It’s a little surprising that none of the flashing/tuning guru’s are chiming in but then again I have always been more of a learn it on your own type anyway. Just my take on it so far in the short time I’ve had it installed and have been looking into it. An optional AFR display can be mounted for visual monitoring but the Log Box records much more useful AFR parameters onto the memory card, which can be downloaded into the WRT software. For $318, I think it’s an outstanding investment.Įven more can be done with the Log Box D v3 setup with its on-board memory card and wideband O2 sensor that allows for live engine data to be recorded while riding. But, for me personally, one of the best values is that it’s an excellent training platform to learn what ECU flashing and engine tuning is all about. And you can do these things without paying someone else to flash the ECU for you. Also, if you make mods to your bike such as installing a slip-on & mid-pipe or replacing the stock steering-damper with an aftermarket, you can remove the fault codes that will be generated by removing the stock units. I have found it to be very good for doing many things like reading/writing ECU’s, removing factory limiter settings, viewing and adjusting fuel maps, ignition maps, STP maps, exhaust-valve settings, etc, etc, etc.
I’ve come to some initial conclusions about the Woolich USB D v3 & software package.
