What do you have as far as the air filter box and air filter? When I did VMax conversion on Tweety, I experimented with numerous modifications to air intake to reduce the power lag. Both the VMaxs and Ventures are sensitive to air flow changes, even running without tank cover on will affect it. I ended up relocating battery on its side where the coil pack was in order to get enough room to put a Vmax air filter housing on it. That was best thing I tried and worked fairly well. Coils were replaced with COPs VBoost servo motor is visible below new battery box on right side. Battery has been like this for 8 years now.

Check the 6 pin connector that connects the two pickup coils near stator to wiring harness. In past on here I have sold quite a few replacement Ignitech TCI's to people (no longer do that). On several occasions it was found that this connector was intermittent or corroded. On one occasion I went to a shop where the bike was located at. When I disconnected that connector it was full of debris. After connector was cleaned bike ran as it should. Each female terminal needs to be checked that it grips male terminal sufficiently. Best way to do this is to have a spare male contact and insert into each pin cavity in connector. 5 are used of the 6 pins.

It would have been easier to take the guts out of the proportioning valve, then it is just a straight through housing. Rear line still connects to proportikning valve housing, no change needed. Remove line that runs to front metering valve and plug at rear master cylinder. This will isolate front brake linkage. Front brake plumbing then is tied, either by running new line to front master, or putting a splitter from an RSV or VMax in. Gary

What does tepirarity mean. Google does not recognize. There are no thermostatically controlled chamber, other than radiator on a Venture. Radiator does not interface with TCI that I am aware of. Gary

Send the guy 4 of them, they go flying into never never land sometimes when putting on !!! Few pictures of two of them. These are to keep throttle cable from wearing into choke rod, cable rides on nylon spacer. Gary

Kisa, The TCIP4 software you linked is at least 3 years old. PM me an email address and I will send you 140905a_tcip4A_v88, this is latest version I have, from February, 2015. What is on Ignitech site for download is same as yours, 10.31.22. They do not update their stuff at all on line. Gary

Current ad on Ebay, I have bought from this seller several times with good experience. This is for a set of 4 bleeders, includes clutch slave also. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Brake-Clutch-Speed-Bleeders-Venture-Royale-XVZ1300-XV1200-/271978359208?hash=item3f532c69a8 Gary

This is correct, I deleted my early wrong post. PDF attached showing stator cooling upgrade and punch mark for that is in PDF. Gary Stator Cooling Kit Installation M84-025.pdf

This was the inspiration for Tweety's side cover's !! Gary

Tweety does have solid aluminum motor mounts, all 6. One seems like it would be very difficult to change without pulling motor, I think. Gary

You do not need them. I have a fair amount of horsepower & have a VMax (FJR actually) and a 15" rim on rear, both help low end acceleration. I don't notice anything out of the ordinary. I have pushed this scooter fairly hard in turns and it is stable. The braces (stays) were removed to allow bikini cut on side covers to expose the motor. Braces looked crappy crossing the heads with cut side covers. I cut brace off and left about 4" on back side to secure side covers. You might be able to see head of screw at bottom front point of side cover in picture. It retains a zip tie fastener that slips over the studded of ends of braces to hold covers secure. Gary

Same process I have used to make a lot of them. Great Whites was made several years ago, may not have been a LightScribe, GaryS was just done recently though. I don't initiate close on any of them. I select files to be burnt, send them & CD ejects automatically when burn done. Gary

Sending both of you a replacement CD tomorrow. I would like to see if this CD is readable in your laptop. I previously was using LightScribe CD's, which can have an image burnt on the non-data side. Haven't been burning image on lately, it takes about 20 minutes. I picked up some standard CD's tonight. Gary

Have you tried CD on another computer? I will send you another if you want. Or, I can email you the program, data file that is in yours & the PDF's. Gary

I initially started out with a longer canister, through several tries, I settled on as short of a canister as I could get with 1 1/4" PVC. What I saw from TP graph was that the longer canister induced a lag in response to throttle opening. This is due to larger canister takes longer to reach an equilibrium in relation to PSI changes. The short can provided a helpful buffer, while not inducing to much lag. Just my experience. Picture of first try and last one attached. Gary

I do not believe I have ever said the Ignitech TCI was perfect as I deliver it. I even have included PDF files on the CD as how to tweak it, specifically there is one on there about how to reset the MAP sensor voltages, I wouldn't have done that if I thought it was perfect. I often see post on here that people think they have a TCI issue and I don't immediately try to sell them one. I offer suggestions that I know could be causing problems that are sometimes misdiagnosed as a TCI issue. Not saying I don't supply a link to my classified add though, not real stupid. TVking was 1st I am aware of that made an effort to promote Ignitech here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?40414-Aftermarket-TCI-available!&highlight=ignitech+thread Every bike is somewhat different, coupled with rider differences and what each rider thinks is important is what makes this unit a much more versatile option than a stock decades old TCI. I was far from the first to explore this unit. I was the one that invested in making them available to riders here and on VMax site. At first I relied on 'copays' from people wanting to invest in one, but for the last few years have been able to front the funds required to purchase these in quantities that made sense to me to do. I am very active in this and the original Ignitech thread on sharing what I have learned from people that have one, at times even people that didn't get unit from me. Sometimes I see post about ideas that I don't believe in, but I don't post negatively about an idea unless I have past experience that says it won't do what is suggested. I don't know or understand everything about this unit. I do believe I have more hands on experience & understanding with it as it relates to Ventures & VMax's than the people at Ignitech though. They have not upgraded their curve on it since they 1st added it to the list of bikes supported. About 25% of the harnesses I get from them are wired incorrectly, which I have told them about and they insist it will run the way they deliver it irregardless of differences in harness. The canister idea was first brought up by me in Feb. 2012, certainly not a new idea. Post #262 in thread linked above. Gary

I sent email asking for that info. Probably the Fuel Injection units they sell. Gary

Will not work to TCIP4 that we are using. Reply below from Ignitech. Here is site for MAP SWITCH : http://www.ignitech.cz/en/vyrobky/accessories/map_switch/map_switch.htm This is switch for handlebar. Some our units contains two ignition advance curves (maps), so that you can switch between these curves (maps) using this switch. Unit TCIP4 has not two ignition advance curves (maps), so that MAP SWITCH is useless for TCIP4. Gary

Bump

I have 4 Ignitech units in stock. When these are sold, I may not have any more for a while, if ever. I purchased last group in February and sales are slow, it is a lot of money for me to tie up for that long. Gary

I just found a new item on Ignitech site that might be interesting. It is called a MAP Switch. I sent my contact at Ignitech an email asking about it and if it would work on TCIP4 TCI. http://www.ignitech.cz/en/vyrobky/accessories/map_switch/map_switch.htm Gary

The auto setting could help. You would need a USB-COM cable to reset it. Link below to cable I use. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?keywords=CB-FTDI The popping is likely idle jets plugged, Sea foam a couple of times may help. Gary
