Electrical Genius Needed ????? RE: Timing Modification

[TearlessTom]

As I have stated before my other bike is a Honda Valkyrie.

 

A common performance modification that is done and I have done to mine is the one listed below.

It is basically tapping into the ECM's programing which advances the timing while the bike warms up to normal operation temps to advance the timing.

 

The Modification allows the rider to have control of advancing the timing AFTER the bike is warm also giving a bit more power and fuel efficiency.

 

Very simple and mostly cheap and effective. I've found that my mpg increase and power increase is most noticeable with 89 octane fuels rather than 87 or 91.

 

The modification can be turned off at any time when needed or desired.

 

Can anyone tell me if this can be done to the Royal Star and if so where and which wires would need to be accessed.?

 

Thanks,

Tom

Not sure I have heard of anyone trying it, hope you find your information and post up the results.

Some of the 1st gen riders are using a 3rd party programable ignition module from a company called ignitech. You might want to read the 2 or 3 lengthy threads about what they have done. Ignitech may be able to put a kit together for the 2nd gen machines, but I am not aware of anyone having one at this time. Be bold and ride the cutting edge.

This is not a kit but simple bypasses or rather keeps turned on-er what the ECM is already programmed to do when the bike is cold. It advances the timing but does not richen the mixture.

 

Cost is about $10 to get all supplies from Radio Shack.

 

It would be simple to do and I would do the experimenting if somewone could tell me which colored wires and or even if the Royal Star ECM even does this when cold.

 

As sophisticated as the bike is with carburetor warmers and such I would think it would advance the timing also.
