Hi Guys
Have read some of the great threads regarding the 883-1200 conversion.
I understand I will need to have my ECM flashed to 1200 specs, but most threads also discuss the use of a fuel tuner such a s Thundermax. I am not sure (at this stage) if I will be able to afford the cost of a fuel tuner such as Thundermax.
Is a fuel tuner a necessity? Can I run the standard re-flashed ECM by itself with the conversion?
I wasn't aware of there being a cheap and easy way of flashing an ecu however hilly talks about there being an option in development right now, in another thread. Your current options require a module to reflash the ecu, using a shop that does this under software license fee, using a piggy back ecu or replacement ecu altogether.
Fatbat.. according to this post you can 'http://www.hdforums.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=71&forumid=1&postid=17336&view=topic' Thanks Wayne. I know the above thread is quite old, but it says the Fuel Pak wont work with the conversion because V&H did not have a mapping available. Does the Fuel Pak you have now cater for the mod?
I had my 883 EFI Sporty converted to 1200 a couple of years ago. The stock ECU was reflashed to 1200 stage 1 specs and it ran OK but was a bit lean and pinged a bit under load. (I have SE slip ons and high flow air cleaner). I wasn't really happy with the tune and eventually decided to go for the Dynojet Power Vision which made a huge positive difference to the bike. Depending on your exhaust and aircleaner configuration you may not need a tuner. See how it runs after the conversion. If it isn't quite right get the tuner of your choice. Don't waste your time with a Fuelpak though as they don't have the map to suit a conversion.
Tmode.
